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 inates with
a standard 3-prong (gromMing) wall outlet to
minimize the possibili_' of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualNed electridan to make sure the outlet is
propedy grotmded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is
yore" personal responsibili_' and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grotmded
3-prong wall outlet.
The refl_igerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best pertimnance and also
I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.
Never tmplug yore" refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Mways grip plug firefly and pull
straight out fl'om the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become fl'ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When moving the refl_igerator away from the
wall, be careflfl not to roll over or damage the
power cord.

Important Facts About Your Dispenser
_: Do not add ice fl'om trm_s or bags to
tile storage drawei: It may not crush or
dispense well.
iJi::Avoid oveitilling glass with ice and use of
narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam tile
chute or cause tile door in tile chute to
ti'eeze shut. If ice is blocking tile chute,
poke it through with a wooden spoon.
iJi::Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage drawer
Cans, bottles or food packages in tile
storage drawer may cause tile icemaker
or a/iger to jaIll.
_: To kee I) dispensed ice fl'om missing
tile glass, put tile glass close to, but not
touching, tile dispenser opening.
_: Some crushed ice may be dispensed even
though you selected CUBED ICE.This
happens occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get directed t() the crushei:
iJi::_Mter crushed ice is dispensed, some
water may dIip fl'om tile chute.
_: Sometimes a small mound of snow will

Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION
• Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go below 60°F (16°C)
because it will not run often enough to
maintain proper temperatures.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go above 100°F (37°C)
because it will not perform properly.
• Install it on a floor strong enough to
support it fully loaded.
CLEARANCES
Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation and
plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides 1/8" (4 mm)
Top 1" (25 mm)
Back 1" (25 mm)

CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(icemaker and dispenser models)
A cold water supply is required for
automatic icemaker and dispenser
operation. If there is not a cold water
supply, you will need to provide one.
See "Installing the Water Line" section.
NOTES:
Before making the connection to the
refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator
power cord is not plugged into the wall
outlet.
• If your refrigerator does not have a
water filter, we recommend installing
one if your water supply has sand or
particles that could clog the screen of
the refrigerator's water valve. Install it
in the water line near the refrigerator.
If using GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator
Tubing Kit, you will need an additional
tube (WXO8XIO002) to connect the filter.
Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.
[]
If you are using copper tubing, place a
compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto
the end of the tubing coming from the
house cold water supply.
If you are using the GE SmartConnect TM
tubing, the nuts are already assembled to
the tubing.
[]
If you are using copper tubing, insert
the end of the tubing into the refrigerator
connection, at the back of the refrigerator,
as far as possible. While holding the
tubing, tighten the fitting.
If you are using GE SmartConnect TM
tubing, insert the molded end of the
tubing into the refrigerator connection,
at the back of the refrigerator, and tighten
the compression nut until it is hand tight.
Then tighten one additional turn with a
wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.

to hold it in position. You may need to pry
open the clamp.

iNSTALLiNG THE WATER LiNE (ICEMAKER&DISPENSERIVIODELS)
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 (WX08Xl0002,
WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and
WX08X 10025).
When connecting your refrigerator 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.
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 RO filter can result in
hollow ice cubes and slower water flow from
the water dispenser.
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, make sure the icemaker power
switch is in the O (off) position.
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 SmartConnect TM Refrigerator
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. 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 cm]
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move
out from the wall after installation.
GE SmartConnect TMRefrigerator Tubing Kits
are available in the following lengths:
2' (0.6 m) - WX08Xl0002
6' (1.8 m) -WX08Xl0006
15' (4.6 m) - WX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) - WX08X10025
Be sure that the kit you select allows at least
8' (2.4 m) as described above.

[] SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER
SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough
to clear the line of water.
[] 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.

and 2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect the
copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the
refrigerator water valve.
OR
If you are using a GE SmartConnect TM
Refrigerator Tubing kit, the necessary
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 TMRefrigerator tubing.
• 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.
[] 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.
