Installation Instructions
191CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE
REFRIGERATOR
NOTES:
• Before making tile connection to tile refrigerator,
be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged
into the wall outlet.
If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, 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 a GE
SlnartConnect
TM
Refrigerator Tubing kit, you
will need an additional ulbe (WX08X10002)
to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube
to install filter.
Some models have tile refrigerator connection at
the end of robing located outside the compressor
COlnparmlent access cover. On other models, the
COlllpressor
conlparmlent access cover must be
renloved in order to access the refrigerator
connection at tile water valve.
On models using tile refrigeration connection at
the water valve, remove the plastic flexible cap.

Place tile compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
onto the end of the robing as shown. On a GE
SlnartConnect Refrigerator Tubing kit, the nuts
are already assembled to the robing.
I-_ CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE
REFRIGERATOR (CONT.)
Insert tile end of tile robing into tile refrigerator
connection as fhr as possible. While holding the
robing, tighten the fitting.
For plastic robing from a GE SmartConnect
Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert tile molded end of
the tubing into the refrigerator connection and
tighten the compression nut until it is hand tight,
then tighten one additional turn with a wrench.
Overtightening may cause leaks.
Fasten tile robing into tile clamp provided as
shown to keep it in position. You may need to PU
open the clamp.
One of the illustrations below will look like the
