Step 1, Remove Packaging; Step 2, Install Water Line - GE Side by Side Refrigerators Installation Instructions Manual

STEP 1 REMOVE PACKAGING
CAUTION:
Refrigerator is much heavier at the
top than at the bottom – be careful when moving.
When using a hand truck, handle from side only.
PRUDENCE:
Le réfrigérateur est beaucoup
plus lourd en haut qu'en bas. Il faut être prudent lors
des déplacements. Si un diable est utilisé, il faut
soulever le réfrigérateur sur le côté seulement.
• Carefully cut banding at the top and bottom,
remove outer carton.
• Slide out back corner posts (2).
• Slide carton off top of cabinet.
NOTE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LAY CABINET
DOWN IN ORDER TO REMOVE SKID!
• The unit is secured to the skid with 4 slotted
tie-down straps. Remove the four 5/16" bolts
from the base channels in the tie-downs.
STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE
• A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure must be
between 40 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route 1/4" OD copper or GE SmartConnect
plastic tubing between house cold water line and
the water connection location.
• Tubing should be long enough to extend to the
front of the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to
accommodate bend leading into the water line
connection.
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is
supplied in the GE 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.
GE SmartConnect ™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits are
available in the following lengths:
2' (.6 m) WX08X10002
6' (1.8 m) WX08X10006
15' (4.6 m) WX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) WX08X10025
Installation Instructions
™
• Support blocks on the bottom of the refrigeration
case must be removed before the refrigerator is
taken off the skid or damage will occur. Carefully,
tilt refrigerator and slide blocks out from beneath.
• Remove toekick, set aside for final installation.
• Lift the refrigerator off the skid with an appliance
dolly. Handle from the sides.
Copper Tubing
Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the
line of water.
• Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water
valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet.
The shut-off valve should be located where it will
be easily accessible.
• 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.
