Installation Instructions
STEP 1 REMOVE PACKAGING
CAUTION:
The refrigerator is much heavier
at the top than at the bottom—be careful when moving.
When using a hand truck, handle from the side only.
• Carefully cut banding at the top and bottom.
Remove the outer carton.
• Slide out the back corner posts (2).
• Slide the carton off the top of the cabinet.
NOTE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LAY THE CABINET DOWN
IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE SKID!
• The unit is secured to the skid with 4 slotted
tie-down straps. Remove the six 7/16" bolts
from the base channels in the tie-downs.
• Remove the six 7/16" bolts securing the straps
to the skid.
CAUTION:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ROLL
UNIT OFF SKID.
STEP 3 INSTALL WATER LINE
• A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker
operation. The water pressure must be between
2.75 bar (275000 pascal) and 8.25 bar (825000 pascal).
• Route the supplied water line kit or GE SmartConnect
™
plastic tubing between the house cold water line and
the water connection location.
• The tubing should be long enough to extend
to the front of the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing
to accommodate the bend leading into the water line
connection.
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 damage to your home.
GE SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator Tubing Kits are
available in the following lengths:
0.6 m WX08X10002
1.8 m WX08X10006
4.6 m WX08X10015
7.6 m WX08X10025

Remove
Tie Downs
Toekick
• The support blocks on the bottom of the refrigeration
case must be removed before the refrigerator is taken
off the skid or damage will occur. Carefully tilt the
refrigerator and slide the blocks out from beneath.
• Remove the toekick and set aside for final installation.
• Lift the refrigerator off the skid with an appliance dolly.
Handle from the sides.
STEP 2 MOVE THE REFRIGERATOR INTO THE HOUSE
• Re use the corner posts from the packaging to protect stainless steel models. Run the appliance dolly straps over
the posts and under the handles.
• Leave the protective film on the refrigerator until installation is complete.
IMPORTANT: Never lift the refrigerator by the handle or push against the grill panel; this could cause damage
or misalignment.
• Avoid laying the unit on its back or side to prevent sealed system restrictions which can damage the product.
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.
• Turn on the main water supply long enough to flush
out the debris thoroughly. In new home construction,
there may be a high level of copper residue in the
supply pipe, which can damage plastic tubing. Make
sure to flush the supply pipe thoroughly before you
install the water line kit. Shut off the water supply at
the shut-off valve. See Step 14 for details of
connecting the water supply.
NOTE: Shut-off valves are included in many water
supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a valve
complies with your local plumbing codes.
