CARING FOR YOUR STAINLESS STEEL

•  Before installation or first use, we strongly advise that  

you polish the stainless steel exterior and handle with  

a commercially available stainless steel cleaner such as 

Stainless Steel Magic.

™

 To preserve and protect the fine 

finish, we also strongly advise that you apply stainless  

steel cleaner monthly.

STAINING WOOD DRAWER FRONTS

The drawer fronts are unfinished cherry wood. During use, 

oil from hands may accumulate and stain the wood.
• The drawer fronts may be stained and sealed to match 

adjacent cabinetry.

• Apply the stain and sealer according to the manufacturer’s 

instructions. To avoid unpleasant odor, keep the door open 

to ventil ate and allow the stain/sealer to dry completely 

before using the product.

TOOLS/HARDWARE REQUIRED

• Adjustable wrench

• Carpenter’s glue (ZIFI240 and ZIBI240 models only)

• Screwdriver (ZIFI240 and ZIBI240 models only)

• A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker 

operation. The water pressure must be between 20 and  

120 p.s.i.

• The water line can enter the opening through the 

floor or back wall. Route 1/4” O.D. copper tubing or 

GE SmartConnect

™

 kit between the cold water line and water 

connection location, long enough to extend to the front of the 

refrigerator. 

• Install an optional water filter in the water line near the 

refrigerator. A water filter is recommended in areas where 

the water supply contains sand and particles. Installation 

Instructions are packed with the filter.

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.

Shut off the main water supply.

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of 

water.
• Install a shut-off valve (required) 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.

• 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.

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. Consult with your licensed 

plumber.
