11CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE

A cold water supply is required for automaticicemaker operation. If there is not a cold water supply,you will need to provide one. See Installing the WaterLine section.

NOTES:

Before making the connection to the refrigerator,be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the walloutlet.

If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we recommend installingone 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 GESmartConnectRefrigerator Tubing Kit, you will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.

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

If you are using the GE SmartConnecttubing, 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. Whileholding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

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