door opening which provides better access to the food
storage area.
CLEARANCES
The rollers have 3 purposes:
■
Rollers adjust so the door closes easily when opened
about halfway.
■
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.
To adjust the rollers,
remove the base grille by pulling it
out at the bottom.
Turn the roller adjusting screws
clockwise to raise
the
refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower
it. Use an
adjustable wrench (3/8
″
hex head bolt) or pliers.
To replace base grille,
line up the clips on back of grille
between the bar and the bottom of the cabinet. Push
forward until grille snaps into place.
ROLLERS
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,
by visiting our Website at
ge.com
(in Canada, at
www.geappliances.ca
) or from Parts and Accessories,
