[, DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffbcation are not

problems of the past. Junked or abandoned

refJigeramrs are still dangerous.., even if they

will sit for "just a few dws." If you are getting

rid of your old refl-igeramt; please follow tile

instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You ThrowAway Your Old

Refrigerator or Freezer:

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain refiigerants,

which under federal law must be removed prior

to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an

old refiigeration product, check with the

company handling the disposal about what

to do.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an extension cord.

However; if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessat T that it be a UIAisted (in the United

States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding

type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE IONSOMEMODELS)

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Recommended copper water supply kits are X_K8X2,

_qX8X3 or _X8X4, depending on the amount of

ulbing you need. Approved plastic water supply lines

are GE SmartConnect'" Refligerator Tubing

(X_gK.08X10006,X_qK08X10015 and X_qK08X10025).

When connecting your refligerator to a GE Reverse

Osmosis Water System, the only approved installation

is with a GE RVKit. For other reverse osmosis water

systems, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

This water line installation is not warranted by the

refligerator or icemaker manuthcmrer. Follow these

instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive

water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house

plumbing can cause damage to refiigerator parts and

lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified

plumber to correct water hammer before installing

the water supply line to the refiigeratoL

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook

up tim water line to tim hot water line.

If you use your refligerator before commcting the

water line, make sure the feeler arm is in the STOP

(up) posiOon.

Do not install tim icemaker robing in areas where

temperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power

drill) during installation, be sure the device is double

insulated or grounded in a maturer to prevent the

hazard of electric shock, or is battm y powered.

All installations must be in accordance with local

plumbing code requirements.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

•Copper or GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing

kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator

to tim water supply: If using copper, be sure both

ends of tim tubing are cut square.

To determine how much robing you need: measure

the distance flom the water valve on tim back of tim

refligerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8'

(2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient exua robing

(about 8' [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10"

[25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move

out flom the wall after insmllaOon.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8' (2.4 m)

as described above.

NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is that

supplied in GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing

kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line

because the line is under pressure at all times. Certain

types of plastic will crack or rupture with age and

cause water damage to your home.

SUPPLY AND UNPLUG

REFRIGERATOR

Turn on the nearest faucet (counterclockwise) long

enough to clear the line ofwatm.

I_ DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Ghoose a location for the vaNe that is easily

accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a

vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect

into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection

to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to

avoid drawing off any sediment flom the water pipe.

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using a

self-piercing valve), using a sharp bit. Remove any

burrs resulting fiom drilling the hole in the pipe.

Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill.

Failure to drill a 1/4" hole may result in reduced

ice production or smaller cubes.

I_ FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff vaNe to the cold water pipe with

the pipe clamp.

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer

begins to swell.

NOTE: Do not overtighten or you may crush the

tubing.

I_ ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and

the refligerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall

or floor (behind the refligerator or adjacent base

cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra robing

(about 8 feet [244 cm] coiled into 3 turns of about

10" [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refligerator to

move out flom the wall after installation.

1-51CONNECT THE TUBING

TO THE VALVE

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)

for copper robing onto the end of the tubing and

connect it to the shutoff valve.

Make sure the robing is fully inserted into the

valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.

For plastic robing flom a GE SmartGonnect"*

Refligerator 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.
