Installation Instructions

1CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE (cont.)

AIf 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.

BIf 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.

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

One of the illustrations below will look like the connection on your refrigerator.

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

3PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR

On models with an icemaker, 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.4PUT THE REFRIGERATOR IN PLACE

Move the refrigerator to its final location. Make sure the back side of the refrigerator engages the anti-tip bracket properly. The anti-tip floor bracket should line up with the cutout in the back bottom of the refrigerator, and fit through the cutout when the refrigerator is pushed into position. (Refer to page 18, Step 2A for more information.)

5LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR

Turn the front roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use a 3/8″ hex wrench with extension, or an

adjustable wrench.
