CONNECTING WATER
SUPPLY
Ŷ Locate and bring the tubing to the front of the
cabinet.
Ŷ Turn the water on to flush debris from the line. Run
about a quart of water through the tubing into a
bucket, then shut off the water.
Ŷ Remove strain relief screw to allow for enough slack
to make a proper water connection. (Screw must be
replaced in the next step.)
Copper Tubing:
Ŷ Slip a 1/4” nut and ferrule (provided) over both ends
of the copper tubing. Insert the tube into the union
fitting on the unit and tighten the nut to the union.
Ŷ Turn on the water to check for leaks.

Tubing:
NOTE: The only GE Appliances-approved plastic
tubing is supplied in the 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.
Ŷ Insert the molded end of the tubing into the
refrigerator or freezer connection. Tighten the
compression nut until it is just hand-tight.
Ŷ Tighten one additional turn with a wrench.
Overtightening can cause leaks!
Ŷ Turn on the water to check for leaks.

STEP 7 INSERTING/SECURING
INTO CABINET SURROUND
Ŷ Plug both units into the outlet in the wall.
Ŷ Find the installation string that is attached to the door
of the unit; this is to be used as you are pushing the
unit back into the opening. The string is attached to
the power cord; as you walk the unit back into the
opening you should pull the string tight to make sure
the power cord is routed underneath the unit.
Ŷ Slowly walk both units into opening making sure not
to touch the cabinetry on the sides and top to prevent
damage. Both door faces should be 7/8” behind
the front face of surrounding cabinets on either a
stainless or custom panel installation.
Ŷ Place power cord on its edge and pull under product
between rollers and away from the anti-tip bracket to
ensure cord is not damaged during installation.
Ŷ As you walk the unit back into the opening, you
should pull the string tight to make sure the power
cord is routed underneath the unit.
