THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(icemaker and dispenser models)
A cold water supply is requiredfor automatic icemaker
operation. If there is not a cold water supply, you will
need to provide one. SeeInstolling the Water Line
section.
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be
sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into
the wall outlet.
• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we
recommend installing one if your water supply has
sand or particles that could clog the screen of the
refrigerator's water valve. Install it in the water line
near the refrigerator. If using GESmartConnect_"
Refrigerator Tubing Kit, you will need an additional
tube (WXO8XIO002)to connect the filter. Do not cut
plastic tube to install filter.
