supply, you will need to provide one. SeeInstalling 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 GESmartConnect _" Refrigerator Tubing Kit, you will need an additional

tube (WX08X10002)to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.

Installation Instructions

[] CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR TO

THE HOUSE WATER LINE

(cont.)

[] If gou are using copper tubing, place a

compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing coming from the house cold water supplg.

If gou are using the GE SmartConnect" 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, us far us possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

If gou are using GE SmartConnect T"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.

[] Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to

hold it in position. You ma9 need to pry open the clamp.

One of the illustrations below will look like the connection on gour refrigerator.

[] TURN ON THE WATER SUPPLY

(icemoker and dispenser models)

Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (ICEMAKER MODELS)

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 T'

Refrigerator Tubing (WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X10025).

When connecting your refrigerator to a GEReverse

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.

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 loft} 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

• Copper or GE SmartConnect" 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.

Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing to allow

the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

GE SmartConnect T'Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in the following lengths:

6' (1.8 m) - WX08X10006

15' (4.6 m) - WXO8XIO015

25'(7.6 m) -WX08X10025

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

NOTE: The onlg GE approved plastic tubing

is that supplied in GE SmartConnect"

Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use ang other plastic water supplg line because the line is under pressure at all times. Certain tgpes of plastic will crack or rupture with age and cause

water damage to gour home.

° A GE water supplg kit (containing tubing,

shutoff valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra cost from your dealer or from Parts and

Accessories, 800.626.2002 (in Canada

1.888.261.3055).

• A cold water supplg. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.1 bar).

used drinking water line.

[] CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

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

Choose a location for the valve that is easilg 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.

• 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 shutoff valve and the refrigerator

water valve.

° If you are using a GE SmartConnect T"

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 SmartConnecf" Refrigerator tubing.

[] 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.

° 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

supplg kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
