THE INSTALLATION SPACE
Water And Electrical Locations
The opening must be prepared with the electrical
and the cold water supply located as shown.
The Cutout Depth Must Be 24”
The refrigerator will project forward, slightly beyond
adjacent cabinetry for standard installation.
Additional Specifications
• A 115 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 the rear wall as shown.
NOTE: GFI (ground fault interrupter) is not recommended.
• The water line can enter the opening through the floor
or back wall. The water line should be 1/4” O.D. copper
tubing or GE SmartConnect
™
kit between the cold
water line and water connection location, long enough
to extend to the front of the refrigerator. Installation of
an easily accessible shut-off valve in the water line is
required.

Allow minimum clearances for the freezer door (Dimension
A) and fresh food door (Dimension B) for a full 130° door
swing and to allow for pan removal.
For a 90° door swing, allow 4” min. clearance to a wall, for
framed and stainless steel models. Allow 5” min. clearance
for professional series models. If the 90° door stop position
is used, pan access is maintained, but pan removal is
restricted.
See the illustrations on pages 41 and 42 to determine door
swing interaction with adjacent cabinets or countertops.
