STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE
Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the
line of water.
ŶInstall a shut-off valve between the water valve and
cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet. The shut-
off valve should be located where it will be easily
accessible.
ŶTurn on the main water supply and flush debris.
Run about a quart of water through the tubing into a
bucket. Shut off water supply at the shut-off valve.
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in
many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure
a saddle type valve complies with your local plumbing
codes.
NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing
Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle
valves are illegal and use is not permitted in
Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.
Ŷ Route 1/4” OD copper or SmartConnect
™
(WX08X10006) plastic tubing between house cold
water line and the water connection location at the
front of the unit.
SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator Tubing Kits are
available. One 8’ (2.4m) water line (WX08X10006) is
needed for each unit. The waterline(s) will be taped
to the floor using masking tape after anti-tip bracket
installation.
Ŷ Tubing should be long enough to extend to the front
of the unit. Allow enough tubing to accommodate
bend leading into the water line connection. Unit
must be tipped on its side to route waterline
underneath and to the front of the appliance.
NOTE: The only GE Appliances approved plastic
tubing is supplied in the SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator
Tubing kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply
line because the line is under pressure at all times.
Other types of plastic may crack or rupture with age
and cause water damage to your home.
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply
only. A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure must be
between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals).
