Installation Instructions

STEP 1 (continued)

To move the refrigerator indoors:

¥Place a piece of the carton or soft cloth against the side panel of the refrigerator to pad and protect the stainless steel finish.

¥Place the refrigerator on the handtruck with a side against the truck only.

¥Move the refrigerator indoors.

REINSTALL DOORS

Refer to the illustration on page 5.

¥Carefully, route the water line tubing and electrical through the freezer side bottom hinge. Lower the door onto bottom hinge.

¥Secure top hinge.

¥Insert the tubing all the way into the coupler.

¥Reconnect the wiring harness.

¥Replace top filler strip.

¥Replace top cap with original screws.

Follow the same procedure to reinstall the fresh food door.

STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE

¥A cold water supply is required for automatic ice- maker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 p.s.i.

¥Route 1/4" OD copper tubing between house cold water line and the water connection location.

¥Measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply line. Add 8 foot length to allow the refrigerator to be moved away from the wall after installation. Bend the tubing into 3 coils of about 10".

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is sup- plied in GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line because the line is under pressure at all times. Certain types of plastic will crack or rupture with age and cause water damage to your home.

GE SmartConnectª Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in the following lengths:

2'	(.6 m)	-WX08X10002
6'	(1.8 m)	-WX08X10006
15' (4.6 m)		-WX08X10015
25' (7.6 m)		-WX08X10025

Shut off the main water supply.

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.

¥Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet. The shut-off valve should be located where it will be easily accessible.

NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a vertical water pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection at the top or side, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

Compression Nut

Saddle Type

Shutoff Valve

Packing Nut

Outlet Valve

Ferrule (Sleeve)

¥Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe.

¥Fasten the shut-off valve to the pipe with pipe clamp.

¥Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell. Do not over tighten.

¥Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shut-off valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve and ferrule is tightened.

¥Turn on the main water supply and flush debris. Run about a quart of water through the tubing into a bucket. Shut off water supply at the shut-off valve.

NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.
