INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (Cont.)
CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE

REFRIGERATOR
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the
refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord
is not plugged into the wall outlet .
• We recommend installing a water filter
(GXRLQ, available on gewaterfilters.com
or 877 .959 .8688) if your water supply has
sand or particles that could clog the screen
of the refrigerator's water valve . Install it in
the water line near the refrigerator . If using
SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kit, you
will need an additional tube (WX08X10002)
to connect the filter . Do not cut plastic tube to
install filter .
WARNING
To reduce the risk of death
or electric shock, you must follow these
instructions:
■ Unplug the refrigerator before removing
any panels.
■ Do not damage any wiring while the panel
is removed.
■ Replace all parts and panels before
plugging the refrigerator back in.
• Remove the access
cover .
• Remove the plastic
flexible or screw cap
from the water valve
(refrigerator connection) and
discard .
• Place the compression nut and
ferrule (sleeve) onto the end
of the tubing as shown . On
SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kit, the
nuts are already assembled to the tubing .
• Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve
connection as far as possible . While holding
the tubing, tighten the fitting .
• For plastic tubing from a SmartConnect™
Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded
end of the tubing into the shutoff valve and
tighten compression nut until it is hand tight,
then tighten one additional turn with a wrench .
Overtightening may cause leaks .
• Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold
it in a vertical position . You may need to pry open
the clamp .
