CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR
TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(cont.)
If you are using copper tubing,
place a
compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto
the end of the tubing coming from the
house cold water supply.
If you are using the GE SmartConnect
™
tubing,
the nuts are already assembled to
the tubing.
If you are using copper tubing,
insert
the end of the tubing into the refrigerator
connection, at the back of the refrigerator,
as far as possible. While holding the
tubing, tighten the fitting.
If you are using GE SmartConnect
™
tubing,
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.
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.
One of the illustrations below will look like
the connection on your refrigerator.

when the refrigerator is pushed into position.
