Installation Instructions
[] CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE
REFRIGERATOR
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to tile refrigeratol,
be sure tile refrigerator power cord is not
plugged into the wall outlet.
• If your refrigerator does not have a ,a-ater filtm,
we recommend installing one 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 refrigeramn If using a GE
SmartConnect '_ Refrigerator Tubing kit, you
will need an additional tube (WX08X10002)
to connect the filmn Do not cut plastic tube
to install filtm:
Some models have the refrigerator connection at
the end of tubing located outside the compressor
compartment access coven On other models, the
compressor compamnent access cover must be
removed in order to access the refrigerator
connection at the water valve.
On models using the refrigeration connection at
the water valve, remove the plastic flexible cap.
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
Ohm the end of the tubing as shown. On a GE
SmartConnect Refrigerator Tubing kit, tile nuts
are already assembled to the tubing.

CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE
REFRIGERATOR (CONT.)
Insert the end of tile tubing into the refrigerator
connection as far as possible. While holding the
tubing, tighten the fitting.
For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect
Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of
the tubing into the refrigerator connection and
tighten the 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 as
shown to keep it in position. You may need to pry
