Installation Instructions - Single Integrated Installation
STEP 1 REMOVE PACKAGING
Ŷ Remove outer carton and external packing from units.
Ŷ Inspect for damage.
Ŷ If installation will require the door swing to be
reversed, follow the instructions in Reversing the
Door Swing section to reverse the door swing
BEFORE the unit is removed from the shipping skid.
Ŷ Ensure the flooring that the units are set is clean/
free of debris that could be collected on to, or
pinched in front of the wheels and damaging the
floor. Additionally, it is recommended that the floor
be protected with a plastic covering through out the
installation process.
Ŷ Remove hardware kit from top drawer.
Ŷ If installation requires a 90° door opening, the hinge
limiter pin must be installed in the top hinge BEFORE
the unit is removed from the shipping skid. Pin is
located in the hardware kit.
- Open the door approximately
45°, but no wider than 90°, to
expose the hole in the back
hinge bracket and install the
limiting pin. Pin must be fully
seated in the bracket or the
door will not close properly.
Ŷ Remove front access cover
from unit by removing two 1/4”
hex head screws (some models have access cover in
a box on the left side of the cabinet). Place the cover
and screws to the side for future installation.
Ŷ Remove three 3/8” drive screws and two 7/16” drive
screws from each side of the unit to release it from
the shipping skid. Tip the unit from the side enough
to remove the shipping material from under the unit,
but above the shipping skid (both sides)
Ŷ CAREFULLY roll the unit off the back side of the
shipping skid.
Ŷ Handle from side only with a hand truck.
STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE
Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the
line of water.
ŶInstall a shut-off valve between the water valve and
cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet. The shut-
off valve should be located where it will be easily
accessible.
ŶTurn 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.
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.
Ŷ Route 1/4” OD copper or SmartConnect
™
(WX08X10006) plastic tubing between house cold
water line and the water connection location at the
front of the unit.
SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator
Tubing Kits are available. One 8’
(2.4m) water line (WX08X10006)
is needed for each unit. The
waterline will be taped to the
floor using masking tape after
anti-tip bracket installation.
Ŷ 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. Unit
must be tipped on its side to route waterline
underneath and to the front of the appliance.
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.
