GROUNDING THE REFRIGERATOR  
IMPORTANT – (Please read carefully)  
DO NOT, UNDER ANY  
CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT  
OR REMOVE THE THIRD  
(GROUND) PRONG  
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE  
PROPERLY GROUNDED.  
FROM THE POWER CORD.  
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with  
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a  
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to  
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard  
from this appliance.  
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT  
THE REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.  
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH  
THIS APPLIANCE.  
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a  
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is  
properly grounded.  
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,  
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to  
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong  
wall outlet.

STEP 9 REPLACE FRESH FOOD DOORS  
STEP 10 INSTALL WATER LINE  
• A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker  
operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and  
120 p.s.i.  
• Route GE SmartConnect Refrigerator Tubing or 1/4" OD  
copper tubing between house cold water line and the  
water connection location.  
A. Lower the refrigerator door onto the center hinge  
pin. Ensure that the plastic hinge pin thimble is on  
the center hinge pin or inside door hinge pin hole  
located in the bottom of the door.  
• Measure the distance from the water valve on the back  
of the refrigerator to the water supply line. Add 8 foot  
length to allow the refrigerator to be moved away from  
the wall after installation. Bend the tubing into 3 coils  
of about 10".  
Hinge Pin  
B. Securely tape the door shut with masking tape  
or have a second person support the door.  
C. Insert the top hinge pin into the hinge hole on  
top of the refrigerator door. Make sure the door is  
aligned with the cabinet and opposite door. Attach  
the hinge to the top of the cabinet loosely with  
the bolts.  
D. Make sure the gasket on the door is flush against  
the cabinet and is not folded. Make sure the door  
is straight and the gap between the doors is even  
across the front. While holding the aligned door  
in place, tighten the top hinge bolts.  
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is supplied  
in GE SmartConnectRefrigerator 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 SmartConnectRefrigerator Tubing Kits are  
available in the following lengths:  
2' (0.6 m)  
6' (1.8 m)  
15' (4.6 m)  
25' (7.6 m)

– WX08X10006  
– WX08X10015  
– WX08X10025  
Gasket Flush and Not Folded  
Tighten Top  
Hinge Bolts  
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 shut-off valve should be located where it will be  
easily accessible.  
E. Follow the same procedure on the opposite door.  
F. Reinstall the top cap using the 4 screws removed  
earlier.  
• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris.  
Run about a quart of water through the tubing into  
a bucket. Shut off water supply at the shut-off valve.  
Top Cap Screws  
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included  
in many water supply kits, but are not recommended  
for this application.  
NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing  
Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves  
are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.

SYSTEM  
1/4" Tubing  
Tubing Clamp  
Skip this step when not using RO System.

If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse  
Osmosis Water System, use the refrigerator’s filter  
bypass plug.  
Compression Nut  
Ferrule  
(sleeve)  
You must also use the filter bypass plug when  
a replacement filter cartridge is not available.  
The icemaker will not operate without the filter  
or filter bypass plug.  
Refrigerator Connection  
SmartConnect™ Tubing  
If you are using copper tubing:  
Replacement Filters:  
• Place compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto  
the end of the tubing coming from the house water  
supply.  
To order additional filter cartridges in the United  
States, visit our Website, ge.com, or call GE Parts  
and Accessories, 800.626.2002.  
• Insert the end of the copper tubing into  
the refrigerator connection at the back  
of the refrigerator, as far as possible.  
Hold the tubing in place and tighten the fitting.  
If you are using GE SmartConnecttubing:  
• Insert the molded end of the tubing into  
the refrigerator connection, at the back of  
the refrigerator, and tighten the compression  
nut until it is hand tight.  
Filter Model GSWF  
Customers in Canada should consult the yellow pages  
for the nearest Mabe Service Center.  
• Then tighten one additional turn with a wrench.  
Overtightening may cause leaks.  
• Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it  
in position. You may need to pry open the clamp.  
• Turn on the water at the shut-off valve to check  
for leaks.  
STEP 12 CONNECT POWER  
• Connect refrigerator power cord plug to a properly  
grounded receptacle.  
• Check to make sure power to refrigerator is on by  
opening refrigerator door to see if interior lights  
are on.  
STEP 13 MOVE REFRIGERATOR  
INTO POSITION  
• Remove outside protective wrapping.  
• Move the refrigerator into final installation position.  
• Remove door spacer, if not removed earlier,  
and all inside packaging.

Installation Instructions  
STEP 14 LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR  
STEP 15 LEVEL THE DOORS  
If the doors are not evenly aligned at the top,  
the refrigerator door can be adjusted.  
• Use a 7/16" hex socket or wrench to turn the door  
adjusting screw. Turn the screw to the right to raise  
the door, turn left to lower the door.  
Adjust the Rollers  
The refrigerator can be leveled by adjusting the rollers,  
front and rear.  
Rollers have three purposes:  
• The rollers adjust so that the door closes easily when  
opened about halfway. (Raise the front about 5/8"  
[16 mm] from the floor.)  
• Rollers adjust to allow the refrigerator 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 refrigerator from  
the wall for cleaning.  
Doors Should  
Align at Top  
To Adjust the Rollers:  
• Use a 3/8" hex socket or wrench to turn  
the adjustment screws. Turn the screws clockwise  
to raise the refrigerator, turn counterclockwise  
to lower it.  
• Use a 5/16" hex socket to turn the screws for  
the rear rollers. Turn the screws clockwise to raise  
the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.  
Raise  
NOTE: A nylon plug is imbedded in the threads of  
the pin. The plug is designed to prevent the pin from  
turning. A wrench must be used to turn the pin.  
• Turn the wrench one or two times. Open and  
close the refrigerator door to check alignment with  
the freezer door at the top. Adjust again if necessary.

Adjust the Leveling Legs  
The leveling legs have two purposes:  
• Leveling legs adjust so the refrigerator is firmly  
positioned on the floor and does not wobble.  
• Leveling legs serve as a stabilizing brake to hold  
the refrigerator securely in position during operation  
and cleaning. The leveling legs also prevent  
the refrigerator from tipping.  
Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise the refrigerator,  
counterclockwise to lower it.  
wCAUTION:  
To avoid possible personal  
injury or property damage, the leveling legs must be  
firmly touching the floor.

STEP 16 INSTALL TOEKICK  
STEP 18 TEMPERATURE CONTROLS  
• Press toekick into position and reinstall one screw on  
each side.  
• The temperature controls are preset at 37°F  
for the refrigerator and 0°F for the freezer.  
• Allow 24 hours to stabilize before making adjustments.  
Toekick Screw  
IMPORTANT:  
The vented toekick must  
remain unobstructed for proper air circulation.  
STEP 17 REMOVE PACKAGING  
START ICEMAKER  
Power Switch  
A. Remove all tape, foam and protective packing from  
shelves and drawers.  
B. Remove the tie downs from the freezer baskets.  
Set the icemaker power switch to the I (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 automatically. It will take 2–3 days  
to fill the ice bin.  
NOTE: In lower water pressure conditions, the water  
valve may turn on up to 3 times to deliver enough water  
to the icemaker.
