IMPORTANT NOTE DISPENSER MODELS  
The refrigerator is supplied with two dispenser trims,  
one for framed panels and one for overlay panels.  
The overlay dispenser trim is designed to fit a total  
panel thickness of 1.100".  
• The overlay panel must be constructed according to  
the specifications shown to achieve the correct total  
thickness.  
• Alternative panel construction methods such as  
securing a 3/4" panel to a 1/4" backer panel cannot  
be used. Another method, routing a 3/4" thick  
panel on all sides cannot be used. These methods  
will not result in the required 1.100" panel thickness.  
When a raised panel design is to be used, a custom  
middle rail is required. See page 9 for details.  
• If the panel is less than 1.100" a noticeable gap may  
be created around the dispenser trim.  
• If the panel is more than 1.100" the dispenser trim  
cannot be secured to the door.

STEP 5 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR  
PROCEDURE  
All models have 4-point leveling. The front is  
supported by leveling legs, the rear is supported by  
adjustable wheels. Both are accessible from the front  
of the refrigerator.  
• To level the back of the refrigerator, turn the  
7/16" hex nut located above the front wheels. Turn  
clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the  
refrigerator.  
• For front leveling, use a 1-1/4" open-end wrench.  
• Adjust height of refrigerator to match installation  
cutout opening 83-1/2" to 84-1/2". The refrigerator  
should be level and plumb with cabinetry.  
The refrigerator must be secured to prevent tipping.  
The anti-tip brackets cannot be used on metal wall  
studs. Use this Alternate Procedure to secure the  
refrigerator against tip-over whenever metal wall studs  
are encountered and there is no soffit.

or 3/4" Min. Wood Brace  
• Raise the grille panel to access case trim.  
• Use a 3/16" bit to drill four evenly spaced clearance  
holes through the metal top case trim.  
• Use a 1/16" bit to drill to pilot holes through the  
metal clearance holes and into the wood soffit. The  
holes should be centered in the soffit or a 3/4" min.  
wood brace. The brace spanning the enclosure must  
be securely fastened to cabinets on both sides.  
• Install four, 1-1/2" drywall screws into the pilot holes.  
CAUTION:  
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are  
limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1". If the  
installation requires more than 84-1/2" height, the  
installer should elevate the refrigerator on a sheet  
of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could also be  
added across the top of the opening to shorten the  
opening. If you attempt to raise the refrigerator  
more than 1", you will damage the front leveling  
legs and the rear leveling wheels.  
PRUDENCE  
Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de  
nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal  
de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur  
a une hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po),  
l’installateur doit élever le réfrigérateur sur une  
feuille de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est  
également possible d’ajouter des baguettes de  
finition des placards sur le haut de l’ouverture afin  
de la réduire. Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de  
25 mm (1 po) endommage les pattes de nivellement  
avant et les roues de nivellement arrière.

Custom Handles  
• Carefully place the aluminum cover trim into top  
end cap so that the recess is aligned with the cap.  
Use the top to bottom grooves along the handle side  
to align the cover trim accurately. Pull tape a few  
inches at a time while pressing the trim against the  
door. Press and hold approximately 10 seconds  
before continuing along the length of the door.  
• Install another end cap at the bottom of the door  
to secure the cover trim. Use a stubby Phillips head  
screwdriver and 2 screws provided.  
• If you are using custom handles, the handle must be  
properly secured to the overlay panel before sliding  
the panel into the trim.  
• The cabinet manufacturer will supply the custom  
handle and hardware.  
• Discard the supplied handle.  
NOTE: Make sure there are no gaps in the installation.  
• Follow the same procedure on the opposite door.  
Reinstall all original screws.  
• Reinstall the handle side trim using all 12 supplied  
flat-head screws, plus the 12 flat-head screws  
originally installed in the handle trim.  
• Install a supplied end cap onto the top of the door  
using a Phillips head screwdriver and 2 screws  
provided. Hand-tighten screws into end caps. Do not  
overtighten; damage will occur.  
• Clean the aluminum trim with rubbing alcohol –  
do not use alcohols with oil or lanolin that will  
prevent adhesion of double-sided tape.  
• Slip aluminum cover trim behind the top end cap to  
check fit. The aluminum cover trim has a recess on  
each end which fits the end cap.

• Locate and bring tubing to the front of the cabinet.  
• Turn the water on to flush debris from line. Run  
about a quart of water through tubing into a bucket,  
then shut-off water.  
Compare the dispenser trims. Note that the inside  
depth of the frames are different. Choose the trim  
with less depth for framed panels, choose the  
deeper one for overlay panels.  
Copper Tubing:  
• Slip a 1/4" nut and ferrule (provided) over both  
ends of the copper tubing. Insert tube into the  
union fitting on the unit and tighten nut to union.  
• Turn on the water to check for leaks.  
Dispenser trim fit over the custom panel depends on  
correct panel thickness. See pages 7 and 8 for panel  
construction information.  
GE SmartConnectTubing:  
• Insert the molded end of the tubing into the  
refrigerator connection. Tighten the compression  
nut until it is just hand tight.  
• Tighten one additional turn with a wrench.  
Overtightening can cause leaks!  
• Turn on the water to check for leaks.  
NOTE: Make sure excess tubing length does not  
interfere with toekick installation.  
• Press and snap the dispenser trim into the  
dispenser recess on the refrigerator door.  
If an excessive gap exists around the dispenser trim  
or if the panel fits loosely in the door frame, foam  
tape may be applied to help improve the fit. Remove  
the trim and panel and apply foam tape to the door  
around the dispenser and in the corners.
