Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
Plug in the refrigerator.
Arrange the coil of tubing so
that it does not vibrate against
the back of the refrigerator
or against the wall. Push the
refrigerator back to the wall.
CONNECT THE TUBING
TO THE REFRIGERATOR (CONT.)
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
onto the end of the tubing as shown. On GE
SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator Tubing kit, the nuts are
already assembled to the tubing.
Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve
connection as far as possible. While holding the
tubing, tighten the fitting.
For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect
Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end of the
tubing into the refrigerator connection and tighten
compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten
one additional turn with a wrench. Overtightening
may cause leaks.
Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it
in a vertical position. You may need to pry open the
clamp.
Tighten any connections that leak.
Reattach the compressor
compartment access
cover.
