Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (ICEMAKER & DISPENSERMODELS)

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Recommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2, WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the amount of tubing you need. Approved plastic

water supply lines are GE SmartConnect TM

Refrigerator Tubing (WX08X10002,

WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X10025).

When connecting your refrigerator to a GE Reverse Osmosis Water System, the only approved installation is with a GE RVKit. For

other reverse osmosis water systems, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System

AND the refrigerator also has a water filter, use the refrigerator's filter bypass plug. Using the refrigerator's water filtration cartridge in

conjunction with the RO filter can result in hollow ice cubes and slower water flow from

the water dispenser.

This water line installation is not warranted

by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer.

Follow these instructions carefully to

minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to

refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage

or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the O (off) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas

where temperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a

power drill) during installation, be sure the device is double insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

•Copper or GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. If using copper, be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.

To determine how much tubing you need: measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water

supply pipe. Then add 8' (2.4 m). Be sure

there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8' [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing Kits

are available in the following lengths: 2'(0.6 m) -WX08X10002

6' (1.8 m) -WX08X10006 15'(4.6 m) -WX08X10015 25' (7.6 m) -WX08X10025

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8' (2.4 m) as described above.
