GE Monogram ZDI15 - Manual (Page 6)

Installation Instructions
WATER SUPPLY
• A cold water supply is required for icemaker
operation. The water pressure must be between
30 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route GE SmartConnect ™ Kit or 1/4 ″ O.D. copper
tubing between house cold water line and the water
connection location.
• The water line should be long enough to extend to the
back of the icemaker. Allow enough to accommodate
moving unit forward for service.
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
′ (0.6 m) WX08X10002
15
′ (4.6 m) WX08X10015
6
′ (1.8 m) WX08X10006
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 installation of an easily accessible shut-off valve
in the water line is required.
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, rather
than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment
from the water pipe.
• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris from the
line. 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, but are not recommended for this
application.

CONNECT THE DRAIN
This icemaker is
equipped with a gravity
drain to prevent water
from flowing back into
the storage bin and
overflowing onto the floor.
The ideal installation
has a standpipe with a
2
″ to 1-1/2″ PVC drain
reducer installed directly
below the drain tube:
–A 1
″ min. physical gap
between the bottom of
the icemaker drain hose
and the top of the house
drain is required. See
illustration.
–7-1/2
″ to centerline
of the opening.
–Approximately 3-1/2
″ high.
–22
″ from the front, or
22-3/4
″ when installing a 3/4″ door panel.
• Drain lines must be at least 5/8
″ inside diameter.
NOTE: A drain pump is necessary when a floor drain
is not available. Order ZPK1 Drain Pump Kit or contact
your local plumber for a recommended pump available
in your area.
TEST DRAIN HOSE ALIGNMENT: Before sliding the
icemaker into the cabinet opening, check to be sure
the bottom of the drain tube is below the rear cover.
To test, place a pan below the drain hose. Pour a
gallon of water into the ice bin and check to be sure
that water does not wet the rear cover.

WATER SUPPLY (cont.)
• Install optional water filter in the water line near the
icemaker. A water filter is recommended in areas
where water supply contains sand or particles.
Installation instructions are packed with the filter.
IMPORTANT: The performance of the icemaker
may be affected when it is connected to a reverse
osmosis system. An R.O. system may also reduce
water pressure and affect the fill cycle, which is
dependent on time and flow. The reduced water
pressure (less than 30 p.s.i.) may cause the reservoir
not to fill and flush properly during the ice making cycle.
• Do not use copper tubing when the icemaker is
connected to a reverse osmosis water system.
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.
