Installation Instructions

9CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR

NOTES:

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

•If your refrigerator does not have a water 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.

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 (refrigerator 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 refrigerator connection and tighten compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.

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

10 TURN THE WATER ON AT THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Tighten any connections that leak.

Reattach the compressor compartment access cover.

11 PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR

Arrange the coil of tubing so that it does not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against the wall. Push the refrigerator back to the wall.

12START THE ICEMAKER

Set the icemaker power switch to the I (on) position. The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of 15°F (-9°C) or below. It will then begin operation automatically if the icemaker power switch is in the I (on) position.

NOTE: In lower water pressure conditions, the water valve may turn on up to 3 times to deliver enough water to the icemaker.
