GROUNDING THE REFRIGERATOR
IMPORTANT - (Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MLIST
BE PROPERI_Y GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong (grotmding) plug which mates with a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
fl'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
FLOORING
For proper installation, this refl'igerator must be placed
on a level surlhce of hard material that is at the same
height as the rest of the flooring. This sm'fi_ce should be
strong enough to support a tully loaded refi'igerator.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Protect the finish of the flooring.
Cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place
under the refrigerator where you are working.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CI P.CUMSTANCES, CUT
OR REMOVE THE THIRD
(GROUND) PRONG
FROM THE POWER CORD.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTEP. PLUG TO CONNECT
THE I_EFRIGEIL_TOR TO A 2-PRONG ()UTLET.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS
APPI JANCE.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grotmded 3-prong
wall outlet.

Retbr to the illustration on page 5 or 6.
To move the refrigerator indoors:
* Place a piece ot the carton or sott cloth against the
side panel of the refligerator to pad and protect the
stainless steel finish.
* Place the refrigerator on the handtruck with a side
against the truck only.
* Move the refi_igerator indoors.
[STEP 2] iNSTALL WATER LiNE
,bCarehfll> route the water line tubing and electrical
through the fl'eezer side bottom hinge. Lower the door
onto bottom hinge.
* Secm'e top hinge.
* Insert the tubing all the way into the coupler.
* Reconnect the wiring harness.
* P.eplace top filler strip (on model ZFSB26).
* Replace top cap with original screws and springs
(where present).
HINT: Llse tape or Perma Gum to prevent the spring
fl'om sliding off the screw (on model ZFSB26).
Follow the same procedure to reinstall the fi'esh food door.
* A cold water supply is required fl)r automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressm'e must be
between 40 and 120 p.s.i.
* Route l/4" OD copper tubing between house cold
water line and the water connection location.
* Measure the distance ti'om the water x;dve on the
back of the reti'igerator to the water supply line.
Add 8 fl_ot length to allow the refligerator to be
moved away fl'om the wall after installation. Bend
the robing 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 Sma*_Comlect _"Refiigerator Tubing Kits are
a_ailable in the fl_llowing lengths:
2' (.6 m) - WX08X10002
6' (1.8 m) - WX08X10006

* 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 comlect it to the shut-off _dve.
Make sine the tubing is fully insel_ed into the valve and
ferrule is tightened.
* Turn on the main water supply and flush debris.
Run about a quart of water through the robing into a
bucket. Shut oil water supply at the shut-oil x;dve.

Shut off the matin water supply.
Turn on the nearest flmcet long enough to clear the
line of water.
* Install a shut-off vah'e between the icemaker water
x:dve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet.
The shut-off x:dve should be located where it will be
easily a ccessible.
NOTE: It is best to install the x:dve into a vertical water
pipe. If you install the _alve into a horizontal water
pipe, make the com, ection at the top or side to aw)id
drawing off any sediment fi'om the water pipe.
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in many
water supply kits. geflwe purchasing, make sure a saddle
Vpe _;dve complies with your local plumbing codes.
NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing

Rollers
Rollers have three purposes:
* Tile rollers ac!iust so that the door closes easily when
opened about halfwa> (Raise the fl'ont about 5/8"
[l 6 mm] fl'om tile floor.)
* Rollers at!just to allow the refl'igerator to be firmly
positioned on the floor and to prevent rocking
when tile doors are opened and closed.
* Tile rollers allow you to move the refl'igemtor fi'om
the wall for cleaning.
To Adjust the Rollers:
[STEP 7] LEVEL THE DOORS
If tile doors are not evenly aligned at the top, the
refl'igerator door can be a(!justed.
• Use a 7/16" hex socket or wrench to turn the door
