4A ALTERNATE ANTI-TIP
PRECAUTIONS
SKIP THIS STEP WHEN USING ANTI-TIP BRACKETS
All GE Profile
™
built-in refrigerators are Top-Heavy.
They must be secured to prevent the possibility
of tipping forward. Use this alternative method to
secure the refrigerator whenever steel wall studs
are encountered.
• Adjust height of refrigerator to match
installation cutout opening 83-1/2” to 84-1/2”.
The refrigerator must be level and plumb with
cabinets. The top case trim at the front is 2-1/8”
higher than the rear and will overlap upper
cabinets or cabinet trim.
• Open grille panel to access the top case trim.
• Use a 3/16” bit to drill 4 evenly spaced clearance
holes through the metal top case trim.
• Use a 1/16” bit to drill pilot holes through the
metal clearance holes and into wood soffit. The
holes should be centered in the soffit or a 3/4”
minimum 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.
2A WATER LINE INSTALLATION WITH
A REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM
SKIP THIS STEP WHEN NOT USING AN RO SYSTEM
NOTE: If the water supply to the refrigerator
is from a Reverse Osmosis Water System, use
the refrigerator’s filter bypass plug. Using the
refrigerator’s water filtration cartridge with
the RO filter can result in hollow ice cubes.
• Open the top grille to view the filtration cartridge.
Rotate the filtration cartridge counterclockwise
until removed.
• Insert filter bypass plug. Rotate the filter bypass
plug clockwise until tightly secured in place.
