Installation Instructions
iNSTALLiNG THE WATER LiNE IoNSOMEMODELS)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Recommended COl)per water supply kits are _,\_XSX2,
_._X8X3 or _._?X8X4, depending on the amom_t of tubing
vou need. Approved plastic water SUl_ply lines are GE
Smarteonnect TM Reli'igerator Tubing (WX08X10002,
_._TX08X10006, _._TX08X10015 and WX08X10025).
When com_ecting yore" refiJgerator to a GE ReveI_e
Osmosis Water System, the only approved installation is
with a GE RVt(it. For other reverse osmosis water systems,
follow the inanttfilcturer's recolmnendations.
If the water sui)ply to the reti'igerator is from a Reverse
Osmosis X,Vater Filtration System AND the refrigerator
also has a water filteI; use the reti'igerator's filter bypass
plug. Using the reli'igerator's water filtration cartridge
in conjm_ction with the RO filter can result in hollow
ice cubes and slower water flow fl'om the water
dispenser.
This water line installation is not warranted bv the
refrigerator or icemaker manufi_cturer. Follow these
instructions carefifllv to minimize the risk of expensive
water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in tile pipes) in house
plmnbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified
plmnber to correct water hammer before installing the
water sui)ply line to the refl'igerator.
To prevent bm'ns and product damage, do not hook
up the water line to the hot water line.
If wm use your refrigerator beii)re connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in
tile 0 (off} position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power
drill) dm'ing installation, be sm'e the device is doul)le
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
i)hunbing code requirelnents.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
J
• Copper or GE SmaJctCommct TM Refrigerator Tubing
kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refl'igerator
to the water sui)i)ly. If using copper, be sure both ends
of the tubing are cut square.
To detemline how much robing you need: measure
the distance ti'om the water valve on the back of the
reti'igerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8'
(2.4 m). Be sm'e there is sufficient extra tubing (about
8' [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cnl]
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out fl'om
the wall after installation.
GE Slnart(_onnect TM Refl'igerator Tubing Kits are
awfilable in the fi)llowing lengths:
2' (.6 m) - WX08X10002
6' (1.8 m) - WX08X10006
15' (4.6 m) - WX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) - WX08X10025
Be sure that the kit wm select allows at least 8' (2.4 in)
as described above.
