If you are using 6 mm 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
INSTALL ANTI-TIP BRACKETS
WARNING: ANTI-TIP PRECAUTIONS
The refrigerator is top-heavy and must be secured to
prevent the possibility of tipping forward.
ATTENTION: PRECAUTIONS CONTRE LES
BASCULEMENTS
Le réfrigérateur est beaucoup plus lourd en haut et il
faut le maintenir en place pour éviter la possibilité de
son basculement vers l'avant.
• Cut a 50 mm x 100 mm x 900 mm timber block.
Secure the block to the mounting brackets provided
using 6 mm wood screws.
• Secure the bracket with timber block to the back

STEP 6 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 2121 mm to 2146 mm. The
refrigerator should be level and plumb with
cabinetry.
Hex Nut Adjusts
Rear Wheels
Leveling Leg
CAUTION:
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are
limited to a maximum height adjustment of 25 mm.
If the installation requires more than 2146 mm
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 25 mm, you will damage the
front leveling legs and the rear leveling wheels.
PRUDENCE
Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de
nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal
de 25 mm. Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur a une
hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m, l’installateur doit élever
le réfrigérateur sur une feuille de contre-plaqué ou
des glissières. Il est également possible d’ajouter des
baguettes de finition des placards sur le haut de
l’ouverture afin de la réduire. Lever le réfrigérateur
de plus de 25 mm endommage les pattes de
nivellement avant et les roues de nivellement arrière.
STEP 5 OPEN GRILLE PANEL,
CONNECT POWER

Installation Instructions
STEP 12 CONNECT WATER SUPPLY
• Locate and bring tubing to the front of the cabinet.
• Turn the water on to flush debris from line. Run
about a litre of water through tubing into a bucket,
then shut-off water.
Copper Tubing:
• Slip a 1/4" nut and ferrule (provided) over both
ends of the copper tubing. Insert tube into the
union fitting on the unit and tighten nut to union.
• Turn on the water to check for leaks.
GE SmartConnect™ Tubing:
• Insert the molded end of the tubing into the
refrigerator connection. Tighten the compression
nut until it is just hand tight.
• Tighten one additional turn with a wrench.
Overtightening can cause leaks!
• Turn on the water to check for leaks.
Note: Make sure excess tubing length does not
interfere with toekick installation.
STEP 11 INSTALL DISPENSER
TRIM
Skip this step is you are installing a stainless
steel wrapped refrigerator.
There are two dispenser trims shipped with your
refrigerator. Select the appropriate trim for your
application.
• Press and snap the dispenser trim into the
dispenser recess on the refrigerator door.
If an excessive gap exists around the dispenser trim
or if the panel fits loosely in the door frame, foam
tape may be applied to help improve the fit. Remove
the trim and panel and apply foam tape to the door
around the dispenser and in the corners.
Compare the dispenser trims. Note that the inside
depth of the frames are different. Choose the trim
with less depth for framed panels, choose the
deeper one for overlay panels.
Dispenser trim fit over the custom panel depends on
correct panel thickness. See pages 7 and 8 for panel
construction information.
