Installation Instructions
ADVANCE PLANNING
CAUTION: Due to excessive
weight, TWO PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED TO
MOVE AND INSTALL THIS ICEMAKER.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
MISE EN GARDE :
A cause de son poids élevé, IL FAUT
DEUX PERSONNES POUR DÉPLACER ET
INSTALLER CETTE MACHINE À GLAÇONS.
Le non-respect de ces instructions peut
causer des blessures au dos ou d'autre
nature.
IMPORTANT: The performance of the icemaker
may be affected when it is connected to a reverse
osmosis system. An RO system may reduce water
pressure and affect the fill cycle, which is dependent
on time and flow. The reduced water pressure (less
than 30 p.s.i.) may cause the reservoir not to fill and
flush properly during the ice making cycle.
• Do not use copper tubing when the icemaker is
connected to a reverse osmosis water system.
Choose the location:
• Not designed for outdoor installation.
• The icemaker must be installed in an area protected
from elements such as wind, rain, water spray or drip.
The area should be ventilated with temperatures
above 55°F (13°C) and below 110°F (43°C). Best results
are obtained between 70°F (21°C) and 90°F (32°C).
• The icemaker may be closed in on the top and
three sides as long as the front is unobstructed for
air circulation and proper operation.
–Installation should be such that the icemaker can
be moved forward for servicing, if necessary.
–The bottom grille on the front must be unobstructed
to provide proper air flow.
ADVANCE PLANNING (cont.)
Before you begin:
1. If a custom panel is to be installed, follow the
instructions shown on pages 9 and 10.
–Order ZIP75 (black or white) panel kit.
–Order the custom panel from the cabinet
manufacturer.
–Secure the custom panel onto the icemaker.
2. Determine a method of drainage. If a floor drain
is to be installed, the drain must be accurately
located. The installation of a custom door panel will
affect the drain location. See page 6 to determine
the exact location of the floor drain, front to back,
with or without a custom door panel.
–A drain pump kit, ZPK1, is available and will not
interfere with placement of the icemaker.
3. The door swing is reversible. If desired, change the
door swing before installation.
4. Slide the icemaker into the installation location.
–Open and close the door to be sure there is no
interference.
–Check to be sure the icemaker can be moved
back into the opening, flush with adjacent
cabinetry. There should be no interference with
the floor drain.

WATER SUPPLY
•A cold water supply is required for icemaker
operation. The water pressure must be between
30 and 120 p.s.i.
•Route GE SmartConnect™Kit or 1/4″O.D. copper
tubing between house cold water line and the water
connection location.
•The water line should be long enough to extend to the
back of the icemaker. Allow enough to accommodate
moving unit forward for service.
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is supplied in
the GE SmartConnect™Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not
use any other plastic water supply line because the line
is under pressure at all times. Other types of plastic may
crack or rupture with age and cause water damage to
your home. GE SmartConnect™Refrigerator Tubing Kits
are available in the following lengths:
2′(0.6 m) WX08X10002 15′(4.6 m) WX08X10015
6′(1.8 m) WX08X10006 25′(7.6 m) WX08X10025
Shut off the main water supply
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the
line of water.
Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water
valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet.
The installation of an easily accessible shut-off valve
in the water line is required.
NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a vertical water
pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal water
pipe, make the connection at the top or side, rather
than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment
from the water pipe.
•Turn on the main water supply and flush debris from the
line. Run about a quart of water through the tubing into
a bucket. Shut off water supply at the shut-off valve.
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in many
water supply kits, but are not recommended for this
application.

CONNECT THE DRAIN
This icemaker is
equipped with a gravity
drain to prevent water
from flowing back into
the storage bin and
overflowing onto the floor.
The ideal installation
has a standpipe with a
2″to 1-1/2″PVC drain
reducer installed directly
below the drain tube:
–A 1″min. physical gap
between the bottom of
the icemaker drain hose
and the top of the house
drain is required. See
illustration.
–7-1/2″to centerline
of the opening.
–Approximately 3-1/2″high.
–22″from the front, or
22-3/4″when installing a 3/4″door panel.
•Drain lines must be at least 5/8″inside diameter.
NOTE: A drain pump is necessary when a floor drain
is not available. Order ZPK1 Drain Pump Kit or contact
your local plumber for a recommended pump available
in your area.
TEST DRAIN HOSE ALIGNMENT: Before sliding the
icemaker into the cabinet opening, check to be sure
the bottom of the drain tube is below the rear cover.
To test, place a pan below the drain hose. Pour a
gallon of water into the ice bin and check to be sure
that water does not wet the rear cover.

WATER SUPPLY (cont.)
•Install optional water filter in the water line near the
icemaker. A water filter is recommended in areas
where water supply contains sand or particles.
Installation instructions are packed with the filter.
IMPORTANT: The performance of the icemaker
may be affected when it is connected to a reverse
osmosis system. An R.O. system may also reduce
water pressure and affect the fill cycle, which is
dependent on time and flow. The reduced water
pressure (less than 30 p.s.i.) may cause the reservoir
not to fill and flush properly during the ice making cycle.
•Do not use copper tubing when the icemaker is
connected to a reverse osmosis water system.
NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing
Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves
are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.
Consult with your licensed plumber.
