_AI If you are using copper tubing, place a
compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the
end of the tubing coming from the house cold
water supply.
If you are using the GE SmartConnect 'Mtubing,
the nuts are already assembled to the tubing.
FB1 If you are using copper tubing, insert the end
of the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at
the back of the refrigerator, as far as possible.
While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
If you are using GE SmartConnect 'Mtubing,
insert the molded end of the tubing into the
refrigerator connection, at the back of the
refrigerator, and tighten the compression nut
until it is hand tight. Then tighten one additional
turn with a wrench. Overtightening may cause
leaks,
r_ Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to
hold it in position. You may need to pry open the
clamp.
One of the illustrations below will look like the
connection on your refrigerator.

when opened about halfway.
To adjust the leveling legs, turn the
legs clockwise to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it.
