AVERTISSEMENT
Raccordez l’appareil à une

• A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker
operation. The water pressure must be between 20 and
120 p.s.i. (137-827 kPa).
• The water line can enter the opening through the
floor or back wall. Route 1/4” O.D. copper tubing or
SmartConnect™ kit between the cold water line and
water connection location, long enough to extend to the
front of the refrigerator.
• Install an optional water filter in the water line near the
refrigerator. A water filter is recommended in areas
where the water supply contains sand and particles.
Installation Instructions are packed with the filter.
NOTE:
The only GE approved plastic tubing is supplied
in the SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not
use any other plastic water supply line because the line
is under pressure at all times. Other types of plastic may
crack or rupture with age and cause water damage to
your home.
SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in
the following lengths:

Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line
of water.
• Install a shut-off valve (required) between the icemaker
water valve and cold water pipe in a basement or
cabinet. The shut-off valve should be located where it
will be easily accessible.
• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris. Run
about a quart of water through the tubing into a bucket.
Shut off water supply at the shut-off valve.
NOTE:
Saddle type shut-off valves are included in many
water supply kits, but are not recommended for this
application.
NOTE:
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes
248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and
use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your
licensed plumber.
