STEP 1 ALL MODELS (continued)
To move the refrigerator indoors:
• Place a piece of the carton or soft cloth against the
side panel of the refrigerator to pad and protect the
stainless steel finish.
• Place the refrigerator on the handtruck
with a side
against the truck only
.
• Move the refrigerator indoors.
REINSTALL DOORS
Refer to the illustration on page 5 or 6.
• Carefully, route the water line tubing and electrical
through the freezer side bottom hinge. Lower the door
onto bottom hinge.
• Secure top hinge.
• Insert the tubing all the way into the coupler.
• Reconnect the wiring harness.
• Replace top filler strip (on model ZFSB26).
• Replace top cap with original screws and springs
(where present).
HINT:
Use tape or Perma Gum to prevent the spring
from sliding off the screw (on model ZFSB26).
Follow the same procedure to reinstall the fresh food door.
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.
STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE
• A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure must be
between 40 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route 1/4" OD copper tubing between house cold
water line and the water connection location.
• Measure the distance from the water valve on the
back of the refrigerator to the water supply line.
Add 8 foot length to allow the refrigerator to be
moved away from the wall after installation. Bend
the tubing into 3 coils of about 10".
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is
supplied in GE SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator Tubing
kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line
because the line is under pressure at all times. Certain
types of plastic will crack or rupture with age and cause
water damage to your home.
GE SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator Tubing Kits are
available in the following lengths:
2' (.6 m)
– WX08X10002
6' (1.8 m)
– WX08X10006
15' (4.6 m)
– WX08X10015
25' (7.6 m)
– WX08X10025
Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the
line of water.
• Install a shut-off valve 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.
NOTE:
It is best to install the valve into a vertical water
pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal water
pipe, make the connection at the top or side to avoid
drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.
• Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe.
• Fasten the shut-off valve to the pipe with pipe clamp.
• Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell. Do not over tighten.
• Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the
end of the tubing and connect it to the shut-off valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve and
ferrule is tightened.
• 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. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle
type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
