Installation Instructions
STEP 1 (continued)
To move the refrigerator indoors:
• Place a piece of the carton or soft cloth against the
side panel of the refrigerator to pad and protect the
stainless steel finish.
• Place the refrigerator on the handtruck with a side
against the truck only.
• Move the refrigerator indoors.
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 tubing between house cold
water line and the water connection location.
• Measure the distance from the water valve on the
back of the refrigerator to the water supply line. Add
8 foot length to allow the refrigerator to be moved
away from the wall after installation. Bend the tubing
into 3 coils of about 10".
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is supplied in GE SmartConnect™ 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.
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
REINSTALL DOORS
Refer to the illustration on page 5.
• Carefully, route the water line tubing and electrical
through the freezer side bottom hinge. Lower the
door onto bottom hinge.
• Secure top hinge.
• Insert the tubing all the way into the coupler.
• Reconnect the wiring harness.
• Replace top filler strip.
• Replace top cap with original screws.
Follow the same procedure to reinstall the fresh food
door.
Saddle Type
Shutoff Valve
Packing Nut
Outlet Valve
• Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe.
• Fasten the shut-off valve to the pipe with pipe clamp.
• Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell. Do not over tighten.
• Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the
end of the tubing and connect it to the shut-off valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve
and ferrule is tightened.
• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris. Run
about a quart of water through the tubing into a
bucket. Shut off water supply at the shut-off valve.
Compression Nut
Ferrule
(Sleeve)
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.
NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a vertical water
pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal water
pipe, make the connection at the top or side, to avoid
drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in many
water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle
type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing
Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are
illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.
Consult with your licensed plumber.

Step 2A WATER LINE
INSTALLATION WITH A
REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM
Skip this step when not using RO System
IMPORTANT:
When connecting to a GE reverse osmosis water
system to your refrigerator, the GE RVKit must be
used. For other reverse osmosis water systems, follow
the manufacturer’s recommendations.
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 and slower water flow from the water
dispenser.

Installation Instructions
STEP 6 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR
The refrigerator can be leveled by adjusting the
rollers located near the bottom hinges.
Raise
Rollers
Rollers have three purposes:
• The rollers adjust so that the door closes easily
when opened about halfway. (Raise the front about
5/8" [16 mm] from the floor.)
• Rollers adjust so allow the refrigerator to be firmly
positioned on the floor and to prevent rocking
when the doors are opened and closed.
• The rollers allow you to move the refrigerator from
the wall for cleaning.
To level the refrigerator:
• Level the refrigerator by turning the roller adjustment screws clockwise to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower the refrigerator.
• Use a 3/8" hex socket, wrench or adjustable
wrench.
STEP 7 LEVEL THE DOORS
If the doors are not evenly aligned at the top, the
refrigerator door can be adjusted.
• Use a 7/16" hex socket or wrench to turn the door
adjusting screw. Turn the screw to the right to raise
the door, turn left to lower the door.
Doors Should
Align at Top
Raise
NOTE: A nylon plug is imbedded in the threads of
the pin. The plug is designed to prevent the pin from
turning. A wrench must be used to turn the pin.
• Turn the wrench one or two times. Open and close
the refrigerator door to check alignment with the
freezer door at the top. Adjust again if necessary.
Roller Adjusting Screws
Rollers at the rear can also be adjusted.
• Use a 5/16" hex socket to turn the screws for the
rear rollers. Turn the screws clockwise to raise the
refrigerator, turn counterclockwise to lower it.
