STEP 1 REMOVE PACKAGING

CAUTION:

Refrigerator is much heavier at the

top than at the bottom—be careful when moving. When

using a hand truck, handle from side only.

PRUDENCE:

plus lourd en haut qu’en bas. Il faut être prudent lors

des déplacements. Si un diable est utilisé, il faut soulever

le réfrigérateur sur le côté seulement.

remove outer carton.

• Slide out back corner posts (2).

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 ft (.6 m) WX08X10002

6 ft (1.8 m) WX08X10006

15 ft (4.6 m) WX08X10015

25 ft (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.
