STEP 10 CONNECT WATER SUPPLY
(FREEZER MODELS ONLY)
• Locate and bring the tubing to the front of the cabinet.
• Turn the water on to flush debris from the line. Run
about a quart of water through the tubing into a
bucket, then shut off the water.
Copper Tubing:
• Slip a 1/4” nut and ferrule (provided) over both ends
of the copper tubing. Insert the tube into the union
fitting on the unit and tighten the nut to the union.
• Turn on the water to check for leaks.
GE SmartConnect
™
Tubing:
NOTE: The only GE-approved plastic tubing is supplied
in the GE 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 dam-
age to your home.
• Insert the molded end of the tubing into the appliance
or freezer connection. Tighten the compression nut
until it is just hand-tight.
• Tighten one additional turn with a wrench.
Overtightening can cause leaks!
• Turn on the water to check for leaks.
NOTE: Make sure excess tubing length does not
interfere with the toekick installation.

STEP 12 INSTALL TOEKICK
• Locate Supplied toekicks (shipped taped to the side

kicks. Install the toekick assembly with the 2 screws
provided, adjust to the desired height and tighten the
screws.
IMPORTANT: A custom toekick can be installed to
match or complement the surrounding cabinetry but
can NOT cover the horizontal vent slots of the factory
toe kick.
