CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR

NOTES:

• Before making the connection to the refrigerator,

be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged

9CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR (CONT.)

Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in a vertical position. You may need to pry open the clamp.

into the wall outlet.

• We recommend installing a water filter if your

water supply has sand or particles that could clog

the screen of the refrigerator’s water valve. Install

it in the water line near the refrigerator. If using

GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kit,

you will need an additional tube (WX08X10002)

to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to

install filter.

Remove the access cover.

Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve (refrigerator connection).

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown. On GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kit,

the nuts are already assembled to the tubing.

Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.

Reattach the access cover.

10TURN THE WATER ON AT THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Tighten any connections that leak.
