•The unit is secured to the skid with 4 slotted tie-down straps. Remove the four 5/16" bolts from the base channels in the tie-downs.

STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE

•A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 p.s.i.

•Route 1/4" OD copper or GE SmartConnect™ plastic tubing between house cold water line and the water connection location.

•Tubing should be long enough to extend to the front of the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to accommodate bend leading into the water line connection.

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

GE SmartConnect™ 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

•Support blocks on the bottom of the refrigeration case must be removed before the refrigerator is taken off the skid or damage will occur. Carefully, tilt refrigerator and slide blocks out from beneath.

•Remove toekick, set aside for final installation.

•Lift the refrigerator off the skid with an appliance dolly. Handle from the sides.

Copper Tubing

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.

•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.
