Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

Recommended 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™ Refrigerator Tubing

When connecting your refrigerator to a GE Reverse

Osmosis Water System, the only approved installation

is with a GE RVKit. For other reverse osmosis water

systems, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse

Osmosis Water Filtration System AND the refrigerator

also has a water filter, use the refrigerator’s filter bypass

plug. Using the refrigerator’s water filtration cartridge

in conjunction with the RO filter can result in hollow ice

cubes and slower water flow from the water dispenser.

This water line installation is not warranted by the

refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these

water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in

house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator

parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a

qualified plumber to correct water hammer before

installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook

up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting

the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch

is in the 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) during installation, be sure 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

plumbing code requirements.

kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator

to the water supply. If using copper, be sure both

ends of the tubing are cut square.

To determine how much tubing you need: measure

the distance from the water valve on the back of the

refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8 feet

diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from

the wall after installation.

GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits are

available in the following lengths:

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8 feet

(2.4 m) as described above.

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that

supplied in GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing

kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line

because the line is under pressure at all times.

Certain types of plastic will crack or rupture with

age and cause water damage to your home.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

WARNING Connect to potable water

Installation Instructions

SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear

the line of water.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used

drinking water line.

Choose a location for the valve that is easily

accessible. It is best to connect into the side

of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary

to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make

the connection to the top or side, rather than at

the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment

from the water pipe.

CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using

a self-piercing valve) using a sharp bit. Remove

any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the

pipe. Take care not to allow water to drain into

the drill. Failure to drill a 1/4" hole may result

in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

•Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.

The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a

minimum inside diameter of 5/32" at the point of

connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type

shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits.

Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve

complies with your local plumbing codes.

Si vous n’utilisez pas souvent vos glaçons, les

vieux glaçons deviennent opaques, prennent

un mauvais goût et rétrécissent.

Préparation à un départ de longue durée

Mettez le commutateur de marche de la

machine à glaçons en position OFF (arrêt) et

coupez l’alimentation d’eau du réfrigérateur.

Si la températeur risque de s’abaisser en

dessous de la température de congélation,

demandez à un technicien qualifié de purger

votre système d’alimentation d’eau (sur

certains modèles) pour empêcher toute

inondation pouvant occasionner des dégâts

sérieux.

Vous devez mettre le commutateur de marche de la machine à glaçons

en position OFF (arrêt)

] Quand le bac à glaçons est enlevé pendant

plus d’une minute ou deux.

] Quand l’alimentation d’eau est coupée

pendant plusieurs heures.

] Quand vous n’utilisez pas votre réfrigérateur

pendant plusieurs jours.

] Le robinet d’alimentation d’eau de la machine

à glaçons émet un bourdonnement quand

la machine à glaçons se remplit d’eau. Si le

commutateur est en position ON (marche),

un bourdonnement se fait entendre même

si la machine n’a pas encore été branchée

à l’alimentation d’eau. Si vous conservez le

commutateur en position ON (marche) avant

de brancher la machine à l’alimentation

d’eau, vous risquez d’endommager votre

machine. Pour éviter tout dégât, mettez le

commutateur en position OFF (arrêt). Le

bourdonnement s’arrêtera.

] Les glaçons qui tombent dans le bac

et l’eau qui coule dans les tuyaux quand

la machine à glaçons se remplit font

un bruit normal.
