Installation instructions
iNSTALLiNG THE WATER LiNE (ONSOMEMODELS)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
I),e{ommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2,
WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the amount of
tubing you need. Approved plastic water supply lines
are GE SmartConnect'" Refl'igerator Tubing
(WX08X10002, WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and
WX08X10025).
When omnecting your refl'igerator to a GE Reverse
Osmosis _,Liter System, the only approved installation
is with a GE RVKit. For other reverse osmosis water
systems, fl)llow the manufimturer's recommendations.
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refl'igerator or icemaker manufiicturer. Follow these
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive
water damage.
_%_ter hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house
plmnbing can cause damage to refl'igerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified
plumber to correct water hammer beflwe installing the
water supply line to the refl'igerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook
up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refi'igerator befl_re connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in
the 0 (off) position (on power switch models) or the
feeler arm is in the STOP (up) position (on _beler arm
models).
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatm'es _hll below fl'eezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power
drill) during installation, be sm'e the device is double
insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the
hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plmnbing code requirements.
