HINT: Use tape or Perlna (;Uln to i)revent tile spring
fl'oln sliding off tile screw.
Follow tile salne procedure to reinstall tile fl'esh fl)od door,
ISTEP2] INSTALL WATER LINE
• A cold water supply is required fl)r automatic
icelnaker oi)eration. Tile water i)ressure in list be
between 40 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route l/4" OD COl)per tubing between house cold
water line and tile water connection location.
• Measure tile distance fl'om tile water wllve on tile
back of tile refl'igerator to tile water supply line.
Add 8 toot length to allow the refi'igerator to be
moved away fi'om the wall alter installation, Bend
the tubing into 3 coils of about 10",
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is
supplied in GE SmartCmmec( '_Refrigerator Tubing
kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line
because the line is under pressure at all times. Certain
types of plastic will crack or rupture with age and
cause water damage to your home.
GE SmartConnect _ Refrigerator Tubing FAts are
awlilable in the fi_llowing lengths:
2' (.6 m) - _XOSXlO002
6' (1.8 m) - WXO8XIO006

Installation Instructions
[STEP 6] LEVEL REFRIGERATOR
The refl'igerator can be leveled by a_!justing the
rollers located near the bottom hin_es.
Raise
Rollers
Rollers have three purposes:
• The rollers a(!just so that the door closes easily
when opened about hall\ray. (Raise the fl'ont about
5/8" l16 mm ] fl'om the floor.)
• Rollers at!just so allow the refl'igerator to be firmly
positioned on the floor and to prevent rocking
when the doors are opened and closed.
• The rollers allow you to move the refl'igerator fl'om
the wall for cleaning.
To level the refrigerator:
• I,evel the refl'igerator by turning the roller
a(!justlnent screws clockwise to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower the refrigerator.
• Use a 3/8" hex socket, wrench or ac!justable wrench.
Roller Adjusting Screws
Rollers at the rear can also be adjusted.
• Use a 5/16" hex socket to tm'n the screws tor the
rear rollers. Tm'n the screws clockwise to raise the
refrigeratm; ttlrn cotu_terclockwise to lower it.
[STEP 7] LEVEL THE DOORS
If the doors are not evenly aligned at the top, the
refrigerator door can be a(!justed.
• Use a 7/16" hex socket or wrench to turn the door
ac!justing screw. Turn the screw to the right to raise
the dora; ttlrn left to lower the door.
Should
Align at Top
NOTE: A nyhm plug is imbedded in the threads of
the pin. The plug is designed to prevent the pin fl'om
tm'ning. A wrench must be used to turn the pin.

[STEP 8] START ICEMAKER
• Flip the switch to l (ON) position. The icemaker
will not begin to operate until it reaches its
operating temperature of 15°F (-9°C)or below.
It will then begin operation automaticallv. It will
take 2 to 3 days to fill the ice bin.
• Be sure nothing interteres with the sweep of the
