INSTALLING THE WATER LINE ClCE M AKER & DISPENSER
MODELS)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Recommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2,
WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the amount of tubing
you need. Approved plastic water supply lines are GE
SmartConnect T_Refrigerator
Tubing (WX08X10006,
WX08X10015
and WX08X10025).
When connecting your refrigerator 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.
If the water supply to the refrigerator
is from
a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration
System
AND the refrigerator
also has a water filter,
use the refrigerator's
filter bypass plug. Using
the refrigerator's
water filtration
cartridge
in
conjunction
with the RO filter can result in hollow
ice cubes and slower water flow from the water
dispenser.
This water line installation
is not warranted
by the
refrigerator
or ice maker manufacturer.
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 refrigerator
parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a
qualified plumber
to correct water hammer before
installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook
up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator
before connecting
the
water line, make sure the ice maker power switch is
in the 0 (off] position.
Do not install the ice maker tubing 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 manner to prevent the
hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered.
All installations
must be in accordance
with local
plumbing
code requirements.
