THE TUBING
TO THE
REFRIGERATOR
NOTES:
Befi)re making the connection
to the refligerator,
be sure the refligerator
power
cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
If your refligerator
does not have a water fiher,
we recommend
installing
one. If your water
supply has sand or particles
that could clog the
screen of the refligerator's
water valve. Install it in
the water line near the refligerator.
If using GE
SmartConnect
Refligerator
Tubing kit, you will
need an additional
tube (WX08X10002)
to
connect the fiher. Do not cut plastic tube to
install fiher.
Some models have the refligerator
connection
at
the end of robing located outside the compressor
compartment
access cover. On other models the
compressor
compartment
access cover must be
removed
in order to access the refligerator
connection
at the water valve.
On mr)dels using the refligeratirm
crmnectirm
at
the water valve, remove the plastic flexible cap.
