INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (ON SOME MODELS)Recommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2,WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the amount of tubingyou need. Approved plastic water supply lines are GESmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing (WX08X10002,WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X10025).When connecting your refrigerator to a GE ReverseOsmosis Water System, the only approved installation iswith a GE RVKit. For other reverse osmosis water systems,follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a ReverseOsmosis Water Filtration System AND the refrigeratoralso has a water filter, use the refrigerator’s filter bypassplug. Using the refrigerator’s water filtration cartridgein conjunction with the RO filter can result in hollowice cubes and slower water flow from the waterdispenser.This water line installation is not warranted by therefrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow theseinstructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensivewater damage.Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in houseplumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts andlead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualifiedplumber to correct water hammer before installing thewater supply line to the refrigerator.To prevent burns and product damage, do not hookup the water line to the hot water line.If you use your refrigerator before connecting thewater line, make sure the icemaker power switch is intheO (off) position.Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas wheretemperatures fall below freezing.When using any electrical device (such as a powerdrill) during installation, be sure the device is doubleinsulated or grounded in a manner to prevent thehazard of electric shock, or is battery powered.All installations must be in accordance with localplumbing code requirements.BEFORE YOU BEGINInstallation InstructionsWHAT YOU WILL NEED• Copper or GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubingkit, 1/4″ outer diameter to connect the refrigeratorto the water supply. If using copper, be sure bothends of the tubing are cut square.To determine how much tubing you need: measurethe distance from the water valve on the back of therefrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8′(2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about8′ [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10″ [25 cm]diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out fromthe wall after installation.GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits areavailable in the following lengths:2′ (.6 m) – WX08X100026′ (1.8 m) – WX08X1000615′ (4.6 m) – WX08X1001525′ (7.6 m) – WX08X10025Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8′ (2.4 m)as described above.26
