Installation Instructions

[] CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR

TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE

(icemaker and dispenser models)

A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker and dispenser operation. If there is not a cold water supply, you will need to provide one.

See "Installing the Water Line" section.

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 TM 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 TM

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 TM

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.

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