BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Instructions to your plumber: Install 1/2 inch stop cock (tap), located in the cabinetry or adjacent to, or if possible above
fridge cavity. Not to be located in the fridge cavity.
The water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these recommendations
carefully to minimise the risk of expensive water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water
leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the
refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the O (off) position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insulated or wired in a
manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. Installation of the icemaker must be done
by a qualified service technician.
! WARNING! Connect to potable water supply only.

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.
• We recommend installing a water filter if your water supply has sand or particles that could
clog the screen of the refrigerators water valve. Install it in the water line near the refrigerator.
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.
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as
shown.
Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve connection as far as
possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in a vertical position.
You may need to pry open the clamp.
One of the illustrations adjacent will look like the connection on your
icemaker.
Reattach the access cover.
TURN THE WATER ON AND 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. Adjustable
ROLLERS are fitted with all GE refrigerators, these enable the fridge doors to be
aligned and ensure the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor, also allowing
the fridge to be moved away from the wall for cleaning. Final adjustments of your
fridge will be completed by your qualified Kleenmaid Installer.
START THE ICEMAKER
Set the icemaker power switch to the l position. The icemaker will not begin to
operate until it reaches its operating temperature of -9°C or below. It will then
begin operation automatically if the icemaker power switch is in the / position.
NOTE: In lower water pressure conditions, the water valve may turn on up to 3
times to deliver enough water to the icemaker.
