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 1500 lbs.
NOTE: Protect the finish of the flooring. Cut a 
large section of the cardboard carton and place 
under the refrigerator where you are working.
WATER AND ELECTRICAL LOCATIONS
The opening must be prepared with the 
electrical and water supply located as shown.
GROUNDING THE REFRIGERATOR
IMPORTANT—PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE 
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power supply cord of this appliance is 
equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug 
which mates with a standard three-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 CONNECT THE REFRIGERATOR  
TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD  
WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
THE CUTOUT DEPTH MUST BE 24"
The refrigerator will project forward, slightly beyond 
adjacent cabinets, depending on your installation.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS
A 120 volt, 60Hz, 15 or 20 amp power supply is 
required. An individual properly grounded branch 
circuit or circuit breaker is recommended. Install 
a properly grounded 3-prong electrical receptacle 
recessed into the back wall. Electrical must be located 
on rear wall as shown.
NOTE: GFI (ground fault interrupter) is not recommended.
Water line can enter the opening through the floor or 
rear wall. The water line installed should be 1/4" O.D. 
copper tubing or GE SmartConnect
™
 tubing between 
the cold water line and water connection location. The 
line should be long enough to extend to the front of the 
refrigerator. Installation of an easily accessible shutoff 
valve in the water line is required.
