Water and Electrical Locations
Electrical and water supply should be located in shaded area only as shown.
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only.
PREPARING 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. (275-827 kPa).
• Route 1/4” OD copper or SmartConnect
™
plastic tubing between the
house cold water line and the water connection location.
• Tubing should be long enough to extend to the front of the encloasure.
• Water line can enter an opening through the floor or back wall.
• Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water valve and cold water
supply in the home.
NOTE:
• It is recommended that the water shut-off valve be placed in a location
that is easily accessible. We do not advise placing it behind the unit
because of access difficulties. If it is necessary to install the valve behind
the unit, it must be located in the shaded area.
• Saddle type shut-off valves are included in many water supply kits, but
are not recommended for this application.
• The only GEA-approved plastic tubing is supplied in the 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. SmartConnect
™
Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in the following lengths:
6’ (1.8 m) WX08X10006, 15’ (4.6 m) WX08X10015 & 25’ (7.6 m) WX08X10025
• 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.
Electrical Specifications
• A 115-volt, 60-Hz., 15- or 20-amp power supply is required. An individual properly grounded branch circuit or circuit
breaker is recommended.
• Install a properly grounded 3-prong electrical receptacle recessed into the back wall. Electrical must be located on
rear wall as shown.
