CONNECT WATER SUPPLY
TUBING TO REFRIGERATOR
Before making connection to the refrigerator, be sure
refrigerator power cord is not plugged into wall outlet.
• Turn water on and flush out the tubing, making
certain that all foreign matter is removed from the line.
• Shut the water off after about 1 quart of water has been
flushed through the tubing.
NOTE: Some localities may have sand or other foreign
matter present in the water supply in such quantities that
they may, in time, collect in the screen of the water valve
attached to the back of the refrigerator and tend to reduce
the water flow to the icemaker. Where such conditions
exist, we recommend that an additional filter or strainer
be installed in the line near the refrigerator. If a screen
type strainer is used, it should be 80 mesh or finer.
• Remove the plastic cap from the water valve and plastic
tube assembly.
• If using copper tubing, cut off the flared end of the
copper tubing and remove the flare nut from the
tubing. Place the 1/4″ compression nut and ferrule
onto the end of the copper tubing as shown on page
12. Insert the end of the water supply tubing into the
water valve as far as possible. While holding the tubing,
tighten the fitting, then pull on the tube to check for a
secure connection. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
• If using plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect™
Refrigerator Tubing Kit, insert the 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.
• Secure the 1/4 inch flexible water supply tubing
with the P-clamp at the back horizontal cover, using
the existing cover screw.

MOVE THE REFRIGERATOR
BACK TO THE WALL
Arrange the coil of copper tubing so that it does not
vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against
the wall. Make sure the water supply tubing does not
get kinked.

NOTE: The first few batches of cubes should be
thrown away, so that remaining impurities in the water
line will be flushed out.
