CARING FOR YOUR STAINLESS STEEL
• Before installation or first use, we strongly advise that
you polish the stainless steel exterior and handle with
a commercially available stainless steel cleaner such as
Stainless Steel Magic.
™ To preserve and protect the fine
finish, we also strongly advise that you apply stainless
steel cleaner monthly.
STAINING WOOD DRAWER FRONTS
The drawer fronts are unfinished cherry wood. During use,
oil from hands may accumulate and stain the wood.
• The drawer fronts may be stained and sealed to match
adjacent cabinetry.
• Apply the stain and sealer according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. To avoid unpleasant odor, keep the door open
to ventilate and allow the stain/sealer to dry completely
before using the product.

TOOLS/HARDWARE REQUIRED
• Adjustable wrench
• Carpenter’s glue (ZIFI240 and ZIBI240 models only)
• Screwdriver (ZIFI240 and ZIBI240 models only)
• A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker
operation. The water pressure must be between 20 and
120 p.s.i.
• The water line can enter the opening through
the floor or back wall. Route 1/4" O.D. copper tubing or GE
SmartConnect
™ kit between the cold water line and water
connection location, long enough to extend to the front of
the refrigerator.
• Install an optional water filter in the water line near the
refrigerator. A water filter is recommended in areas where
the water supply contains sand and particles. Installation
Instructions are packed with the filter.
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
′ (0.6 m) WX08X10002 15 ′ (4.6 m) WX08X10015
6 ′ (1.8 m) WX08X10006 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 (required) 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.
• 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.
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in many water
supply kits, but are not recommended for this application.
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.
