Installation Instructions 9 CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR 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 a GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kit, you will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to install filter. Some models have the refrigerator connection at the end of tubing located outside the compressor compartment access cover. On other models, the compressor compartment access cover must be removed in order to access the refrigerator connection at the water valve. On models using the refrigeration connection at the water valve, remove the plastic flexible cap. 9 CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR (CONT.) Insert the end of the tubing into the refrigerator 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 the 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 as shown to keep it in position. You may need to pry open the clamp. One of the illustrations below will look like the connection on your refrigerator.
