GE 18 用户手册

• 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 refrigerator’s water valve. Install 
it in the water line near the refrigerator. If using 
GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing kit, 

you will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) 
to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to 
install filter.

Remove the access cover.

Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water 
valve (refrigerator connection).

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) 
onto the end of the tubing as shown. On GE
SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing kit, 

the nuts are already assembled to the tubing.

Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve
connection as far as possible. While holding the
tubing, tighten the fitting.

For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing kit, insert the molded end 
of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten
compression nut until it is hand tight, then 
tighten one additional turn with a wrench.
Overtightening may cause leaks.

Tighten any connections that leak.

Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to 
hold it in a vertical position. You may need to 
pry open the clamp.

Reattach the access cover.
