through with a wooden spoon.

iJi::Beverages and fi)ods should not be quick-chilled in tile

ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in tile
storage bin may cause tile icemaker or auger to jam.

Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Recommended copper water supply kits are _4UX8X2,
WXSX3 or _X8X4, depending on the amom_t of
tubing you need. Approved plastic water SUl_ply lines are
GE Smart(:onnect _'_Refl_igerator Tubing (_4_X08X10002,

WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and X43X08X10025).
When connecting yore" refl'igerator to a GE Reverse

Osmosis Water System, the only approved installation
is with a GE RVKit. For other reve_e osmosis water

systems, tollow the inanufilcturer's recommendations.
If the water supply to the reti'igerator is ti'om a Reve_e

Osmosis X4'ater 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 ti'om the water dispenser.

This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker manufi_cturer. Follo_' these
instructions carefifllv to minimize the risk of expensive

water damage.
_'ater hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house

plmnbing can cause damage to reflJgerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified
phunber to correct water hammer before installing
the water supply line to the refl_igerator.

To prevent bm'ns and product damage, do not hook

up the water line to the hot water line.

If wm use your, refrigerator betore connecting the water
line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the 0

(Off) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatm'es tall below freezing.

All installations inust be in accordance with local
pltmfl)ing code reqtfirements.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

NOTE: The mtiy GE approved plastic tubing is that
supplied in GE SmaactCmmect TM Refrigerator Tubing

kits. Do not use may 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.

• A GE water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff

valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra

cost fl'om your dealer or fl'om Parts and Accessories,

800.626.2002.

• A cold water supply. The water pressm'e must be

between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.2 bar) on models

without a water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i.

(2.8-8.2 bar) on models with a water filter.

• Power drill.

• 1/2" 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 wove and the refl'igerator water wove.

OR

• If wm are using a GE Smart(:onnect TM Refl'igerator
Tubing kit, the necessary fittings are preassembled to
the tubing.

It WARNING - Connect to potable water

supply only.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper or GE SmartCmmec( _"Refrigerator Tubing
kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refi'igerator

to the water supply. If using copper, be sm'e both
ends of the tubing are cut square.

To determine how much tubing you need: measm'e
the distance ti'om 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 cln]
diameter) to allow the refl'igerator to move out fl'om

the wall after installation.
GE SulartConnect T''Refl'igerator Tubing 14dts are

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

6' (1.8 m) - WX08X10006

15' (4.6 m) - X43X08X10015

25' (7.6 m) - WX08X10025
Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8' (2.4 m)

as described above. '

• If wmr existing coI)per water line has a flared fitting
at the end, you will need an adapter (available at
plmnbing supply stores) to connect the water line to
the refl'igerator OR w)u can cut off the flared fitting

with a tube cutter and then use a compression

fitting. Do not cut tin'reed end from GE
Smart(:onnect TM Refl'igerator tubing.

Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.
The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a

minimmn inside diameter of 5/32" at the point of
connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type
shutoffwflves are included in many water supi)ly kits.
Before pro'chasing, make sm'e a saddle-Vpe wflve
complies with yore" local phunbing codes. Install the
shutoff valve on the nearest ti'equently used drinking

water line.

[] DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

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 tile 'connection

to the top or side, rather than at the bottom,
to aw)id drawing off any sediment fl'om the
water pipe.

Drill a ]/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using a
self=piercing valve) using a sharp bit. Remove any
bur_ resulting fi'om drilling tile hole in tile pipe.

TaJ_e canoe not to allow water to drain into the drill.
Failure to drill a l/4" hole may result in reduced

ice production or smaller cubes.

[] CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE

VALVE

Place tile compression nut and fi_Hule (sleeve) flw

(-opper tubing onto tile end of tile tubing and
connect it to tile shutoff wflve.

Make sure the tubing is flflly inserted into the wflve.
Tighten the compression nut securely.

For plastic tubing from a GE SinartConnect TM
Refl'igerator Tubing kit, insert tile molded end

of tile tubing into tile shutoff valve and tighten
compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten

one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening

NOTE: Be sure there is suflident extra tubing

(about 8_ [2.4 m] (oiled into 3 turns of about 10"
[25 cm] diameter) to allow tile refl'igerator to move

out fl'om the wall after installation.

[] FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

Turn tile main water sui)ply on and flush out tile
tubing until tile water is clear.

[] CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE

REFRIGERATOR

NOTES:

• gefl)re making tile connection to tile refl'igerator,
be sure tile refl'igerator power cord is not
i)lugged into the wall outlet.

• If your refl'igerator does not have a water filter,
we recommend installing one if vour water SUl)ply
has sand or particles that could clog tile screen of
the refrigerator's water wflve. Install it in the
water line near tile refl'igerator. If using a GE
SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing kit, you
will need an additional tube (WX08X10002)
to connect tile filter. Do not cut plastic tube

to install filter.

more features and use newer technology.

Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal

hear a high-i)itched hmn or pulsating sound while

it is operating.

• Sometimes tile refl'igerator runs t0r an extended period,

means that tile Frost GuardT"teatm'e is working to

prevent Ii'eezer burn and improve t0od preservation.

• 54m may hear a whooshing so/md when the (loo_s close.

reflJgerator cools to the correct teli/l)eYattu'e.

• Electronic dampers click open and closed to provide
