GE Café series Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature
will go below 60°F (16°C) because it will not run often
enough to maintain proper temperatures.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature
will go above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform
properly.
• Do not install the refrigerator in a location exposed to
water (rain, etc.) or direct sunlight.
• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully
loaded.
CLEARANCES
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper
air circulation and plumbing and electrical connections.
Sides 1/8” (3 mm)
Top 1” (25 mm) Cabinet/Hinge Cover
Back 2” (50 mm)
REMOVING THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS

/4”
for CYE models). Doors and passageways leading to the
installation location must be at least 36
1
/4” wide in order to
leave the doors and handles attached to the refrigerator
while transporting it into the installation location. If
passageways are less than 36
1

handles can easily be scratched and damaged. The top cap
and doors can be removed to allow the refrigerator to be
safely moved indoors. If passageways are less than 31

• If it is not necessary to remove doors, skip to Step 11. Leave
tape and all packaging on doors until the refrigerator is in the

Place the refrigerator on the hand truck with a side against
the truck. We strongly recommend that TWO PEOPLE move
