filter, we recommend installing one 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.

If you are using copper tubing, place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing coming from the house cold water supply.

If you are using the GE SmartConnect™ tubing, the nuts are already assembled to the tubing.

If you are using copper tubing, insert the end of the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at the back of the refrigerator, as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

If you are using GE SmartConnect™ tubing, insert the molded end of the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at the back of the refrigerator, and tighten the compression nut until it is hand tight. Then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.

2TURN ON THE WATER SUPPLY

Turn the water on at the shutoff valve (house water supply) and check for any leaks.

3PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR

Before plugging in the refrigerator, make sure the icemaker power switch is set to the O (off) position.

See the grounding information attached to the power cord.
