WATER SUPPLY TO THE ICEMAKER
(on some models)
If tile reli'igerator has an icemaker, it will have to be
connected to a cold water line. A water sui)i)ly kit

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Recommended copper water supply kits are _'XSX2,

tubing you need. Approved plastic water supply lines
are GE SmartConnect'" Refi'igerator Tubing
(WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X10025).
When c(mnecting your reIi'igerator to a GE Reverse
Osmosis Water S}:stem, the only approved installation
is with a GE RVKJt. For other revel_e osmosis water
systems, fl>llow the manuthcturer's recommendations.
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refi'igerator or icemaker manufiicturer. Follow these
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive
water damage.
_'\_lter hammer (water banging in tile pipes) in house
plumbing can cause damage to reti'igerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. (;all a qualified
phunber to correct water hammer beflwe installing
the water supply line to the refl'igerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook
up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator befl>re connecting the
water line, make sm'e the feeler arm is in the STOP
(up) position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatures ihll 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 mamler to prevent the
hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that
supplied in GE SmaactCmmect _"Refrigerator Tubing
kits. Do not use m_y other plastic water supply line
because the line is under pressure at all times. Certain
types of plastic will crack or rupture with age m_d
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,
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. ,f"_ _ _
• 1/2" or adjustable wrench.
• Straight and Phillips
blade screwdriver.
• Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts mad
2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect
the copper tubing to the shutoff (_:_/__
valxe and the refl'igerator water xalxe. _"'-_
OR
• If vou are using a GE SmartConnect _'' Refl'igerator
Tubing kit, the necessai T 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 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 ti'om GE
SmartConnect ''_ Reti'igerator tubing.
To determine how much tubing you need: measure
the distance ti'om the water valve on the back of the
reti'igerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8'
(2.4 m). Be sure there is sutticient extra tubing
(about 8' [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10"
[25 cm] diameter) to allow the reil"igerator to move
out t]'om the wall atier installation.
• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.
The shutott wdve 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
shutoff wdves are included in many water supply kits.
Befl)re purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local phunbing codes.

Installation instructions
Install the shutoff _al_e on the nearest frequentl) used drinking water line.
[] SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER
SUPPLY AND UNPLUG
REFRIGERATOR
Turn on the nearest fimcet (('omlterch)ckwise) hmg
enough to clear the line of water.
[] DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Choose a location fin" 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 fl'om the water pipe.
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using a
self piercing valve), using a sharp bit. Remove anv
burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.
Take care 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.
[] FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
Fasten the shutoff xalxe to the cold water pipe with
the pipe clamp.
Tighten the clamp screws tmtil the sealing washer
begins to swell.
NOTE: Do not oxertighten or you may crush the
tubing.
[] ROUTE THE TUBING
Route tile tubing between the cold water line and
the refl'igera tin;
Route tile tubing through a hole drilled in the wall
or floor (behind the reli'igerator or a(!iacent base
cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.
NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing
(about 8 feet [244 cm] coiled into 3 tm'ns of about
10" [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refl'igerator to
inove out fl'oln the wall al*er installation.
[] CONNECT THE TUBING
TO THE VALVE
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleexe)
for COl)per tubing onto tile end of the tubing and
connect it to the shutoff xalxe.
Make sm'e the tubing is flfllv inserted into the
valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.
For plastic tubing from a GE Slnart(_onnect'"
Refl'igerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end
of the tubing into the shutoff wflve and tighten
compression nut tmtil it is hand tight, then tighten
one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening

NOTES:
• Before making tile c(mnection to tile refrigerator,
be sm'e tile refrigerator power cord is not l_lugged,,

• We recommend installing a water filter if your water
supply has sand or particles that could clog the
screen of the refl_gerator's water x_dve. Install it ill
the water lille near the refrigerator. If using GE

I_]START THE ICEMAKER
On power switch models, set tile icemaker power
switch to the / (0n) position. On fl_eler arm models,
move tile feeler arm to tile ON (down) position. Tile
icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches
its operating temperature of 15°F (-9°C) or below.
It will then begin operation automatically.
Place tile compression nut and terrule (sleeve)
onto the end of the tubing as shown. On GE
SmartConnect "_ Refrigerator Tubing kit,
the nuts are ah'eady assembled to tile tubing.
Insert tile end of tile tubing into the water _;dve
connecti(m as fhr as possible. While holding tile
robing, tighten tile fitting.
For plastic tubing fi'om a GE SmartConnect "_
Refi'igerator Tubing kit, insert tile molded end
of tile 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.
