Preparing To Install The Refrigerator - GE 14 Owner's Manual

Preparing to install the refrigerator.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Water Supply to the Icemaker
If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to
be connected to a cold water line.
Refrigerator Location
Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go below 60°F (16°C)
because it will not run often enough to
maintain proper temperatures.
Clearances
Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation and
plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides ..........................3/4 (19 mm)
Top ............................1 (25 mm)
Back ..........................1 (25 mm)
Rollers and Leveling Legs
Leveling legs near each front corner of the
refrigerator are adjustable. They firmly position
the refrigerator and prevent it from moving
when the doors are opened. Leveling legs should
be set so the front of the refrigerator is raised just
enough that the doors close easily when opened
about halfway.
Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise the
refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it .
Rollers next to the leveling legs allow you to move
the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.
Turn the legs counterclockwise until the weight
of the refrigerator is transferred from them to
the rollers. After rolling the refrigerator back
into place, turn the legs clockwise until the legs
again bear the weight of the refrigerator.

fully loaded.
