CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
1
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(icemaker and dispenser models)
A cold water supply is required for
automatic icemaker and dispenser
operation. If there is not a cold water
supply , you will need to provide one.
See "Installing 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 lter , 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 GE SmartConnect
Tubing Kit, you will need an additional
tube (WX08X10002) to connect the lter.
Do not cut plastic tube to install lter.
A If you are using copper tubing, place a
compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto
the end of the tubing coming from the
house cold water supply.
If you are using the GE Smar tConnect
tubing, the nuts are already assembled to
the tubing.
B If you are using copper tubing, insert
the end of the tubing into the refrigerator
connection, at the back of the refrigerator,
as far as possible. While holding the
tubing, tighten the tting.
If you are using GE SmartConnect
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.
