REFRIGERATOR
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
onto the end of the tubing as shown. On GE
SmartConnect ™ Refrigerator Tubing kit,
the nuts are already assembled to the tubing.
Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve
connection as far as possible. While holding the
tubing, tighten the fitting.
For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect
Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end
of the tubing into the refrigerator connection
and tighten compression nut until it is hand tight,
then tighten one additional turn with a wrench.
Overtightening may cause leaks.
Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold
it in a vertical position. You may need to pry open

position. The icemaker will not begin to operate
until it reaches its operating temperature of 15°F
(–9°C) or below. It will then begin operation
automatically if the icemaker power switch is
in the I (on) position.
NOTE: In lower water pressure conditions, the
water valve may turn on up to 3 times to deliver
enough water to the icemaker.
