[, DANGER! RISK OFCHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffbcation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refJigeramrs are still dangerous.., even if they
will sit for "just a few dws." If you are getting
rid of your old refl-igeramt; please follow tile
instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You ThrowAway Your Old
Refrigerator or Freezer:
_ke offthe doors.
I,eave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refiigerants,
which under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an
old refiigeration product, check with the
company handling the disposal about what
to do.
USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
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 is absolutely necessat T that it be a UIAisted (in the United
States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding
type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

WATER SUPPLY TO THE ICEMAKER
(on some models)
If the refligerator has an icemaker, it will have to be
connected to a cold water line. A water supply kit
(containing copper tubing, shutoff vane, fittings and
instructions) is available at extra cost flom your dealm;
by visiting our Website at ge.com (in Canada at

Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE WATER LINE IONSOMEMODELS)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Recommended copper water supply kits are X_K8X2,
_qX8X3 or _X8X4, depending on the amount of
ulbing you need. Approved plastic water supply lines
are GE SmartConnect'" Refligerator Tubing
(X_gK.08X10006,X_qK08X10015 and X_qK08X10025).
When connecting your refligerator to a GE Reverse
Osmosis Water System, the only approved installation
is with a GE RVKit. For other reverse osmosis water
systems, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refligerator or icemaker manuthcmrer. 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 refiigerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified
plumber to correct water hammer before installing
the water supply line to the refiigeratoL
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook
up tim water line to tim hot water line.
If you use your refligerator before commcting the
water line, make sure the feeler arm is in the STOP
(up) posiOon.
Do not install tim icemaker robing 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 maturer to prevent the
hazard of electric shock, or is battm y powered.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Copper or GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing
kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator
to tim water supply: If using copper, be sure both
ends of tim tubing are cut square.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)
GE SmartConnect"* Refrigerator Tubing Kits are
available in the following lengths:
6' (1.8 m) -_qK08X10006
15' (4.6 m) - X4qK08X10015
25' (7.6 m) - _qK08X10025
Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8' (2.4 m)
as described above.
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that
supplied in GE SmartConnect TM 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.
• A GE water supply kit (containing robing, stmtoff
valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra
cost flom your dealer or flom Parts and Accessories,
1.800.661.1616.
• A cold water supply. The water pressure must be
between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.1 bar).
• 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 stmtoff ___
valve and tim refligerator water val_._'-_'-___"--Q
OR
• If you are using a GE SmartConnect"* Refligerator
Tubing kit, the necessary fit6ngs 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 refligerator OR you can cut off the flared fit6ng
with a tube cutter and then use a compression
fit6ng. Do not cut formed end flom GE
SmartConnect '' Refligerator robing.
To determine how much robing you need: measure
the distance flom the water valve on tim back of tim
refligerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8'
(2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient exua robing
(about 8' [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10"
[25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move
out flom the wall after insmllaOon.
• 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
connec6on to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type
shutoff vanes are included in many water supply kits.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes.

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 flom the water pipe.
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using a
self-piercing valve), using a sharp bit. Remove any
burrs resulting fiom 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.
I_ ROUTE THE TUBING
Route the tubing between the cold water line and
the refligerator.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall
or floor (behind the refligerator or adjacent base
cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.
NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra robing
(about 8 feet [244 cm] coiled into 3 turns of about
10" [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refligerator to
move out flom the wall after installation.
1-51CONNECT THE TUBING
TO THE VALVE
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
for copper robing onto the end of the tubing and
connect it to the shutoff valve.
Make sure the robing is fully inserted into the
valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.
For plastic robing flom a GE SmartGonnect"*
Refligerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end
of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten
compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten
one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening
may cause leaks.
