Installation
Refrigerator
Instructions
Models 18 and 19
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical
connections.
• Sides 1/8″ (3 mm)
• Top 1″ (25 mm)
• Back 1″ (25 mm)
If the refrigerator is to be installed next to a wall on the
hinge side, allow 5/16″ (8 mm) door clearance.
CLEARANCES
The rollers have 3 purposes:
• Rollers adjust so the door closes easily when opened
about 45°.
• Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on
the floor and does not wobble.
• Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator away from the
wall for cleaning.
NOTE: When rollers are properly adjusted, the top of the
refrigerator will not be level but will have a slight backward
tilt.
To adjust the rollers, remove
the base grille by grasping it
about 6 inches from each end
and pulling its bottom edge
toward you.
Turn the two front roller
adjusting screws clockwise
to raise the front of the
refrigerator, counterclockwise
to lower it.
Replace the base grille by
inserting the tops of the
metal clips into the oval
vents, making sure one of
the plastic tabs on the back
of the grille goes into each of
the oval vents. Then push the bottom of the grille forward
until it snaps into place.
ROLLERS (ON SOME MODELS)
If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to be
connected to a cold water line. A GE water supply kit
(containing tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and
instructions) is available at extra cost from your dealer
or by visiting our Website at www.GEAppliances.com
or Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002.
