Follow these easy steps to get your GE CTX18LYZ Refrigerator up and running in no time.
Carefully remove all packaging materials from the refrigerator. Ensure that all protective coverings, tape, and any labels are removed from both the interior and exterior of the appliance.
Place the refrigerator in a location that allows for proper air circulation. The back of the appliance should have at least 1 inch of clearance from the wall, and the sides should have at least ¾ inch of clearance for optimal efficiency.
Ensure the refrigerator is level by adjusting the leveling legs at the bottom. This will ensure the doors align properly and close securely.
Plug the refrigerator into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Ensure that the voltage and frequency match the specifications listed on the appliance.
Set the temperature control to the recommended setting, which is typically in the mid-range. Allow the refrigerator to cool for several hours before placing food inside.
If equipped, connect the icemaker to a water supply following the instructions provided with the icemaker kit. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
Before loading the refrigerator with food, perform a final inspection to ensure the appliance is operating correctly and there are no unusual noises or leaks.
