CLEARANCES
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.
ROLLERS AND LEVELING LEGS
If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to be
connected to a cold water line. A water supply kit
(containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and
instructions) is available at extra cost from your dealer,
by visiting our Website at
www.GEAppliances.com
(in
Canada at
www.geappliances.ca
) or from Parts and
Accessories, 800.626.2002 (in Canada 1.888.261.3055).
