STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE
• A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure must be
between 40 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route 1/4" OD copper or GE SmartConnect
™
plastic tubing between house cold water line and
the water connection location.
• Tubing should be long enough to extend to the
front of the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to
accommodate bend leading into the water line
connection.
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' (.6 m) WX08X10002
6' (1.8 m) WX08X10006
15' (4.6 m) WX08X10015
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 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.

Toekick
• Support blocks on the bottom of the refrigeration
case must be removed before the refrigerator is
taken off the skid or damage will occur. Carefully,
tilt refrigerator and slide blocks out from beneath.
• Remove toekick. Set aside for final installation.
• Lift the refrigerator off the skid with an appliance
dolly. Handle from the sides.
Floor
Copper Tubing
NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a vertical
water pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal
water pipe, make the connection at the top or
side to avoid drawing off any sediment from the
water pipe.
• Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe.
• Fasten the shut-off valve to the pipe with pipe
clamp.
• Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell. Do not overtighten.
• Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
onto the end of the tubing and connect it to
the shut-off valve. Make sure the tubing is fully
inserted into the valve and ferrule is tightened.
