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 unit. 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

• The unit is secured to the skid with 4 slotted

tie-down straps. Remove the four 5/16" bolts
from the base channels in the tie-downs.

• Remove toekick, custom handle trim, and wall

bracket. Set aside for final installation.

• Lift the unit off the skid with an appliance dolly.

Handle from the sides.

brackets to the skid.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing
Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are
illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.
Consult with your licensed plumber.

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.

• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris.

Run about a quart of water through the tubing into
a bucket. Shut off water supply at the shut-off valve.

NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in many
water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle
type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

Fasten the panels to the unit with stick-on hook and
loop fastener strips before setting unit in place.

DO NOT lay this unit on its back.
