DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPERDISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Childentrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous...evenif they will sit for 'just a few
days."If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,
pleasefollow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigerator or Freezer:
_,Take offthe doors.
Leavethe shelvesin place sothat children may not
easily climb inside.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old
refrigeration product, check with the company
handling the disposal about what to do.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord.
However,if you must use an extension cord, it isabsolutely necessarythat it be a UL-listed (inthe United States)
or a CSAcertified (inCanada),3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug
2
and outlet andthat the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120volts.
GEAppliances.com
WARNING!
HOW TOCONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstonces, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personol sofetg, this opplionce must be properly grounded.
Thepower cord ofthis appliance isequipped
with a 3-prong (grounding)plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding)wall outlet
to minimizethe possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make surethe outlet is properly
grounded.
Where astandard 2-prong wall outlet isencountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.
Therefrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which hasa voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
Thisprovides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause
a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling
on the power cord.Always grip plug firmly
and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repairor replace immediately oil power cords that
hove become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
useo cord that shows crocks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall,
be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
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 (WXO8XIO006,
WXO8X10015 and WXO8X10025).
When connecting your refrigerator to a GEReverse
Osmosis Water System, the only approved installation
iswith 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 IviWF filter can result
in hollow ice cubes.
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, disable the icemaker by turning the Ice
Off feature ON. See About the Automotic Icemoker
for more information.
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
J
• Copper or GE SmertConnect'" Refrigerutor
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. Be sure
there is sufficient extra tubing to allow the
refrigerator to move out from the wall after
installation.
GE SmartConnect T"Refrigerator Tubing Kits are
available in the following lengths:
6' (1.8 m) - WXO8XIO006
15' (4.6 m) - WXO8X10015
25' (7.6 m) - WXO8X10025
24
Installation Instructions
WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing
is that supplied in GE SmartConnect T"
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.
• AGE water supply kit (containing tubing,
shutoff valve and fittings listed below)is available
at extra cost from your dealer or from Parts
and Accessories, 800.626.2002 (in Canada
1.800.661.1616).
• A cold water supplg. The water pressure must be
between 20 and 120 p.s.i.(1.4-8.1 bar).
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently
used drinking water line.
SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough
to clear the line of water.
I_1 CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for the valve that is easily
accessible. It is best to connect into the side
of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to
connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the
connection to the top or side, rather than at the
bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from
the water pipe.
• Power drill.
• 112" or adjustable wrench.
• Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.
• Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts
and 2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect the copper
tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator
water valve.
OR
• If gou are using a GE SmartConnecf"
Refrigerator Tubing kit, the necessarg fittings
are preassembled to the tubing.
• If your existing copper water line has a flared
fitting at the end, you will need an adapter
(available at plumbing supply stores) to connect
the water line to the refrigerator OR you can cut
off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then
use a compression fitting. Do not cut formed end
from GE SmartConnect T"Refrigerator tubing.
[] DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using
a self-piercing valve), using a sharp bit. Remove
any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the
pipe.
Take care not to allow water to drain into
the drill.
Failure to drill a 1/4" hole may result in reduced
ice production or smaller cubes.
• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.
The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a
minimum inside diameter of 5/32" at the point of
connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type
shutoff valves are included in many water supply
kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type
valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

ROUTE THE TUBING
Route the tubing between the cold water line
and the refrigerator.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the
wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent
base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.
FLUSH OUT THE TUBING
Turn the main water supply on and flush out
the tubing until the water is clear.
Shut the water off at the water valve after about
one quart (1 liter) of water has been flushed
through the tubing.
To complete the installation of the refrigerator,
go back to Step 1 in Installing the Refrigerator.
