WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safe_ this appfiance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a

standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibili F of electric shock hazard

fl'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electridan to make sure the outlet is
propedy grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is _mr
personal responsibili F and obligation to have it

replaced with a propedy grounded %prong wall
outlet.

The refl_igerator, should ahvavs, beI)lugged,, into its
own indixidual electrical outlet which has a xoltage
rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best perlimnance and also
I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard from oxerheated wires.

Never unplug )'our refl_igerator by pulling on the
power cord. Mways grip plug firefly and pull

straight out fl'oln the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become ti'ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.

\4]_en moving the refi_igerator away from the
wall, be careflfl not to roll over or damage the
power cord.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser

iJi::Do not ::1(1(1ice ti'om trm:s or bags to

the storage bin. It may not crush or
dispense well.

iJi::Avoid ove_tilling glass with ice and use ()I

narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam tile
chute or catlse tile door in tile chute to

ti'eeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute,
poke it through with a wooden spoon.

iJi::Beverages and fi)ods should not be

quick-chilled in the ice storage bin.
Cans, bottles or fi)od packages in tile

storage bin may cause tile icemaker

or auger to jam.

iJi::To kee I) dispensed ice fl'om missing

the glass, put the glass close to, but not
touching, the dispenser opening.

iJi::Some crushed ice may be dispensed even

though you selected CUBEDICE.This
hapl)ens occasionally when a low cubes

have been left in tile crusher.

iJi::_Mter crushed ice is dispensed, some

water may drip fl'om tile chute.

iJi::Sometimes a small mo/md (ffsnow will

t0m_ on tile door in tile ice chum. This
condition is nomml and usually occm_

when w)u have dispensed crushed ice

repeatedly. Tile snow will eventually
evaporate.

_: Tile fi_t glass ot water dispensed may be

w;mner than the tollowing ones. This is

noii/lal.

_: Dispensed water is not ice cold. For

colder water; simply add crushed ice or

iNSTALLiNG THE WATER LiNE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

P.ecommended copper water supply kits are WXSX2,

WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the amount of

tubing you need. Approved plastic water supply lines

are GE SmartConnect'" Refl'igerator Tubing

(WX08X10002, WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and

WX08X10025).
When connecting yore" refl'igerator to a GE Reverse

()smosis _'_ater S}_stem, the only approved installation

is with a GE RV/Zit. For other revelse osmosis water
systems, follow the manufilcturer's recmmnendations.

If the water sui)i)ly to the iefl'igerator is ti'om a Reverse

()smosis _'LJter Filtration System AND the reii'igerator
also has a water filtei, use the refl'igerator's filter bypass
plug. Using the refl'igerator's water filtration cartridge
ill col_junction with the RO filter can result in hollow

ice cubes and slower water flow fl'om the water

dispenser.
This water lisle installation is not warranted by the

refl'igerator or icemaker mansffhcturer. Follow these
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive

water damage.

_'Laer lmmmer (water banging in the pipes) ill house
plmnbing can cause damage to refl'igerator parts and

lead to water leakage or flooding. (;all a qualified
plmnber to correct water lmmmer beflwe installing

the water supply lisle to the refi'igerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do slot hook

up the water line to the hot water lisle.

If you use votlr refl'igerator befl/re connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in

the 0 (off) position.

Do not install tile icemaker tubing in areas where

temperatures fhll below fl'eezing.
When using ally electrical device (such as a power

drill) dm'ing installation, be sure the device is double
insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the

hazard of electric shock, or is battes T powered.
All installations must be in accordance with local

phm/bing code requirements.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

//

• Copper or GE SmartConnect" Refrigerator Tubing
kit, l/4" outer dialneter to connect the reli'igerator
to the water supply, If using copper, be sure both ends
of the tubing are cut square.

To detei_nline how much tubing you need: nleasure
the distance ti'oln the water wflve on the back of the

reli'igerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8'

(2.4 I/l). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about

8' [2.4 Ill] coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cm]
diameter) to allow the reli'igerator to move o/lt ti'oill

the wall atier installation.
GE SnmrtConnect'" Refl'igerator Tubing lZdts are

awfilable in the fi_llowing lengths:
2' (0.6 Ill) -- _'_X08X10002
6' (1.8 Ill) -- WX08X10006

15' (4.6 Ill) -- WX08X10015

25' (7.6 I/l) - WX08X10025
Be sure that the kit vou select allows at least 8' (2.4 I/l)

as described above.

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that

supplied in GE SmartCmmect'" 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 mid cause
water damage to your home.

Installation instructions

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used
drinking water line.

• A GE water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff
wflve and fittings listed below) is awfilable at extra

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

800.626.2002.

• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be
between 20 and 190 p.s.i. (1.4-8.2 bar) on models
without a water filter and between 40 and 190 p.s.i.

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

• Power drill.

• 1/2" or adjustable wrench.

• Straight mad Phillips blade screwdriver.

• Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts and

2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect the COl)per tubing
to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator

water walve.

OR

• If wm are using a GE SmartConnect _'_Refl'igerator
Tubing kit, the necessa_ y fittings are preassembled to

the robing.

• If wmr existing COl)per 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 refl'igerator 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 SnlartConnect'"
Refl'igerator tubing.

[] SHUT OFF THE MAiN WATER

SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest taucet long enouoh_ to clear
the line of water.

[] CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location fl_r 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 awfid drawing off anv sediment from the

water pipe.

[] DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using a
sell:piercing valve) using a shaq) bit. Remove any
burI_ resulting fl'oin drilling the hole in the pipe.

Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill,
Faihu'e 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 wflve 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

shutoffvalves are included in many water supply kits.

Betore imrchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with vom" local plumbing codes.
