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.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN

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.

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

Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes.

Vous entendrez un bourdonnement chaque fois
que la machine à glaçons se remplit d’eau.
Jetez les premiers lots de glaçons pour
permettre à la conduite d’eau de se purger.
Assurez-vous que rien ne gène la course du
bras palpeur.
Quand le bac se remplit jusqu’au niveau du
bras palpeur, la machine à glaçons s’arrête
de produire des glaçons.
Il est normal de trouver des glaçons qui
soient soudés ensemble.
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.
