GROUNDING THE REFRIGERATOR
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO

FLOORING
For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed
on a level surface of hard material that is at the same
height as the rest of the flooring. This surface should be
strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator, or
approximately 1,200 lbs. (544.31 kg).
NOTE: Protect the finish of the flooring. Cut a large
section of the cardboard carton and place under the
refrigerator where you are working.
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION

• A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure must be
between 40 and 120 p.s.i. (275-827 kPa).
• Route 1/4” OD copper or SmartConnect™ plastic tubing
between house cold water line and the water connection
location.
• Tubing should be long enough to extend to the front of
the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to accommodate
bend leading into the water line connection.
NOTE: The only GE Appliances-approved plastic tubing
is supplied in the SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing
kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line
because the line is under pressure at all times. Other
types of plastic may crack or rupture with age and cause
water damage to your home.
SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in
the following lengths:

INSTALLATION WITH A REVERSE
OSMOSIS SYSTEM
Skip this step when not using an RO System
If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse
Osmosis Water System, use the refrigerator’s filter
bypass plug. Using the refrigerator’s water filtration
cartridge with the RO filter can result in hollow ice
cubes.

(CONT)
• The kit supplied with the unit contains 2 lag bolts and
4 toggles with bolts. The wall bracket will be attached
to the wall in 4 places.
• Measure the opening where the unit is to be installed.
Mark the center with a vertical line.
• Measure up 81 1/2” (207.01 cm) from the floor. Mark
this point on the wall.
• Using a level, draw a horizontal line on the wall at this
height.
Skip this step when not using side panels.
If you are using 1/4” (0.63 cm) side panels, they should
be inserted into the case trim. Fasten the panels to the
refrigerator with stick-on hook and loop fastener strips
before setting refrigerator in place.
STEP 4 ANIT-TIP PROCEDURE
WARNING
These refrigerators are top heavy, especially
with any doors open, and must be secured to
prevent tipping forward which could result in
death or serious injury. Read and follow the
entire installation instructions for securing the
refrigerator with the anti-tip system.
AVERTISSEMENT

Ces réfrigérateurs présentent une partie
supérieure lourde, en particulier avec une
porte ouverte; ils doivent donc être fixés pour
prévenir le basculement vers l’avant et le
risque concomitant de blessure grave ou fatale.

• The anti-tip wall bracket has a series of holes. Select 2
holes that match with the located studs. Make sure the
holes selected are on the center of the studs. Mark the
wall at these points.
• Mark an additional hole at each end of the bracket.
If one of the studs is closer to the end of the bracket,
mark an additional hole towards the center of the
bracket.

Wall Studs
• Drill 1/2” (1.27 cm) holes into the wall board at the
locations marked for the toggles to be mounted (not
the stud markings).
• Drill 3/16” (0.47 cm) holes into wooden studs where
marked. If steel stud construction, drill 1/2” (1.27 cm)
holes into the studs where marked. You will use 2
toggles with the metal studs.
Install Wall Toggles:
The wall toggles and bolts can be ordered as Service
Kit #WR49X10193. Wall toggles are installed in the
drywall and metal studs for stability. Install the wall
toggles as follows:
• Drill 1/2” (1.27 cm) holes at the wall markings made in
the holes at the ends of the wall bracket.
• Hold the metal channel flat against the plastic straps
and slide the channel through the hole.
• Gently pull back at the ends of the plastic straps to
make the channel rest flush behind the wall.
Plastic Straps
• Hold the ends of the straps in one hand and slide the
plastic cap along the straps until the flange of the cap
is flush with the wall.

CONNECT POWER CORD:
• Before pushing the refrigerator into the opening,
plug the power cord into the receptacle. Open the
grille panel and reach into the opening at the back
to grasp the power cord. Pull the power cord into
the opening as you push the refrigerator back.
• Gently push refrigerator into the opening with hands
against front corners.
IMPORTANT: When the refrigerator is installed under
a soffit or if there is not enough height for this method
of security, brackets cannot be used. Proceed to step
5 to level the refrigerator and then to step 7 to secure
refrigerator to cabinets.

STEP 5 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR
All models have 4-point leveling. The front is supported
by leveling legs, the rear is supported by adjustable
wheels. Both are accessible from the front of the
refrigerator.
• To level the back of the refrigerator, turn the 7/16” hex
nut located above the front wheels. Turn clockwise to
raise or counterclockwise to lower the refrigerator.
• For front leveling, use a 1-1/4” open-end wrench.
• Adjust height of refrigerator to match installation
cutout opening 83-1/2” (212.09 cm) to 84-1/2” (214.63
cm). The refrigerator should be level and plumb with
cabinetry.
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are
limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1” (2.54
cm). If the installation requires more than 84-1/2”
(214.63 cm) height, the installer should elevate
the refrigerator on a sheet of plywood or runners.
Cabinetry trim could also be added across the top of
the opening to shorten the opening. If you attempt to
raise the refrigerator more than 1” (2.54 cm), you will
damage the front leveling legs and the rear leveling
wheels.
STEP 6 SECURE UNIT TO WALL
• The “L” rod can be found in the upper left corner of
the unit in the access compartment. Look through the
access compartment to make sure the rod lines up
with the anti-tip bracket.
• There are 2 washers and a hair pin cotter with the rod.
Remove the washers and hair pin cotter from the end
of the rod.
• Rotate and move the
“L” rod into the slot in
the anti-tip bracket tab.
Once it is in the slot,
rotate the “L” rod so the
hook portion is pointing
down. The holes at the
front end of the rod
should be in a vertical
position.
• Pull out on the end of the rod to make sure it is secure
in the bracket.
• Locate the hole on the rod that is closest to the unit.
A hair pin cotter will be put through this hole to secure
the rod. If this hole appears to be too far away for a
snug fit against the unit, add the washers one at a
time until the pin will fit tightly into the hole.
• Align the straight section of the pin with the hole from
the underside of the rod. Push the pin up until it snaps
into position. Pliers may be used. NOTE: The hair pin
cotter must be vertical when this step is completed to
ensure the “L” rod is engaged in the bracket.
• Check the rod for tightness by pulling forward. If the
rod moves, remove the hair pin cotter and place
another washer on the rod. Reinsert the pin.
