IT] 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 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
GE SmartConnect _M Refrigerator Tubing kit,
you will need an additional tube (wxoaxIo002)
to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to
install filter.
Remove the access cover.
Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water
valve (refrigerator connection).

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
onto the end of the tubing as shown. On GE
SmartConnect 'M 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 GE SmartConnect 'M
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.
