Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION
• Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go below 60°F (16°C) because it
will not run often enough to maintain proper
temperatures.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go above 100°F (37°C) because it
will not perform properly.
• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully
loaded.

CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(icemaker and dispenser models)
A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. If there is not a cold water
supply, you will need to provide one. See
Installing the Water Line section.
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the
refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord
is not plugged into the wall outlet.
• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter,
we recommend installing one if your water
supply has sand or particles that could clog the
screen of the refrigerator’s water valve. Install it
in the water line near the refrigerator. If using
GE SmartConnect
™ Refrigerator Tubing Kit, you
will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to
connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to
install filter.
