PRUDENCE: IL NE

FAUT PAS ESSAYER DE FAIRE ROULER LE RÉFRIGÉRATEUR POUR L'ENLEVER DE LAY PALETTE.

STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE

• A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 p.s.i.

• Route 1/4" OD copper or GE SmartConnect

™

plastic tubing between house cold water line and the water connection location.

• Tubing should be long enough to extend to the front of the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to accommodate bend leading into the water line connection.

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is supplied in the GE SmartConnect™Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line because the line is under pressure at all times. Other types of plastic may crack or rupture with age and cause water damage to your home.

GE SmartConnect™Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in the following lengths: 2' (.6 m) WX08X10002 6' (1.8 m) WX08X10006 15' (4.6 m) WX08X10015 25' (7.6 m) WX08X10025

Shut off the main water supply.

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.

• Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet. The shut-off valve should be located where it will be easily accessible.

WATER LINE INSTALLATION

WITH A REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM

Skip this step when not using an RO System

If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse Osmosis Water System use the refrigerator’s filter bypass plug. Using the refrigerator’s water filtration cartridge with the RO filter can result in hollow ice cubes.

STEP 3

INSTALL SIDE PANELS

Skip this step when not using side panels

If you are using 1/4" side panels, they should be inserted into the case trim. Fasten the panels to the refrigerator with stick-on hook and loop fastener strips before setting refrigerator in place.

STEP 4

INSTALL ANTI-TIP BRACKETS

WARNING: ANTI-TIP PRECAUTIONS

The refrigerator is top-heavy and must be secured to prevent the possibility of tipping forward.

ATTENTION: PRECAUTIONS CONTRE LES

BASCULEMENTS

Le réfrigérateur est beaucoup plus lourd en haut et il faut le maintenir en place pour éviter la possibilité de son basculement vers l'avant.

• Cut a 2" x 4" x 35" block and secure the block to the mounting brackets provided using #12 or #14 wood screws.

• Secure the bracket with wood block to the back wall so that it is 84" (or your installation height) from the finished floor. Use #12 or #14 wood screws. See illustration.

• Screws must penetrate at least one inch into vertical wall studs.

• Before pushing the refrigerator into the opening, plug the power cord into the receptacle. Open the grille panel and reach into the opening at the back to grasp the power cord. Pull the power cord into the opening as you push the refrigerator back.

• Gently push refrigerator into the opening with hands against front corners.

CAUTION:

The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1". If the installation requires more than 84-1/2" height, the installer should elevate the refrigerator on a sheet of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could also be added across the top of the opening to shorten the opening. If you attempt to raise the refrigerator

more than 1", you will damage the front leveling legs and the rear leveling wheels.

PRUDENCE

Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur a une hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po), l’installateur doit élever le réfrigérateur sur une feuille de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est également possible d’ajouter des baguettes de finition des placards sur le haut de l’ouverture afin de la réduire. Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25 mm (1 po) endommage les pattes de nivellement avant et les roues de nivellement arrière.
