iNSTALLiNG THE WATER LiNE (ICEMAKER &DISPENSERMODELS)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Recommended copper water supplg kits (]re WX8X2,
WX8X] or WX8X4, depending on the (]mount of tubing
gou need. Approved pl(]stic w(]ter supplg lines (]re GE
Sm(]rtConnect TMRefriger(]tor Tubing (W×08×10006,
W×08×10015 (]nd W×08×10025).
When connecting gour refriger(]tor to (] GE Reverse
Osmosis W(]ter Sgstem, the onlg (]pproved inst(]ll(]tion
is with (] GE RVKit. For other reverse osmosis w(]ter
sgstems, follow
the m(]nuf(]cturer's recommend(]tions.
If the w(]ter supplg to the refriger(]tor is from (]
Reverse Osmosis W(]ter Filtr(]tion Sgstem AND the
refriger(]tor (]lso h(]s (] w(]ter filter, use the
refriger(]tor's filter bgp(]ss plug. Using the
refriger(]tor's w(]ter filtr(]tion c(]rtridge in
conjunction with the ROfilter c(]n result in hollow
ice cubes (]nd slower w(]ter flow from the w(]ter
dispenser.
This w(]ter line inst(]ll(]tion is not w(]rr(]nted bg the
refriger(]tor or icem(]ker m(]nuf(]cturer. Follow these
instructions c(]refullg to minimize the risk of
expensive w(]ter d(]m(]ge.
W(]ter h(]mmer (w(]ter b(]nging in the pipes}
in house plumbing c(]n c(]use d(]m(]ge to
refriger(]tor p(]rts (]nd le(]d to w(]ter le(]k(]ge
or flooding. C(]II (] qu(]lified plumber to correct
w(]ter h(]mmer before inst(]lling the w(]ter supplg
line to the refriger(]tor.
To prevent burns (]nd product d(]m(]ge, do not hook
up the w(]ter line to the hot w(]ter line.
If gou use gour refriger(]tor before connecting the
w(]ter line, m(]ke sure the icem(]ker power switch is
in the OFF position.
Do not inst(]ll the icem(]ker tubing in (]re(]s where
temper(]tures f(]ll below freezing.
When using (]ng electric(]l device (such (]s (] power
drill) during inst(]ll(]tion, be sure the device is double
insul(]ted or grounded in (] m(]nner to prevent the
h(]z(]rd of electric shock, or is b(]tterg powered.
All inst(]ll(]tions must be in (]ccord(]nce with Ioc(]l
plumbing code requirements.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
J
. Copper or GE Sm(]rtConnect TMRefriger(]tor Tubing
kit, 1/4" outer di(]meter to connect the
refriger(]tor to the w(]ter supplg. If using copper,
be sure both ends of the tubing (]re cut squ(]re.
To determine how much tubing gou need: me(]sure
the dist(]nce from the w(]ter v(]lve
on the b(]ck of the refriger(]tor to the w(]ter supplg
pipe. Be sure there is sufficient extr(] tubing to (]llow
the refriger(]tor to move out from the w(]ll (]fter
inst(]ll(]tion.
GE Sm(]rtConnect TMRefriger(]tor Tubing Kits (]re
(]v(]il(]ble in the following lengths:
