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.
