Installation Instructions  
REINSTALL DOORS  
Refer to the illustration on page 5 or 6.  
STEP 1 ALL MODELS (continued)  
• Carefully, route the water line tubing and electrical  
through the freezer side bottom hinge. Lower the door  
onto bottom hinge.  
• Secure top hinge.  
• Insert the tubing all the way into the coupler.  
• Reconnect the wiring harness.  
To move the refrigerator indoors:  
• Place a piece of the carton or soft cloth against the  
side panel of the refrigerator to pad and protect the  
stainless steel finish.  
• Place the refrigerator on the handtruck with a side  
against the truck only.  
• Replace top filler strip (on model ZFSB26).  
• Replace top cap with original screws and springs  
(where present).  
• Move the refrigerator indoors.  
HINT: Use tape or Perma Gum to prevent the spring  
from sliding off the screw (on model ZFSB26).  
Follow the same procedure to reinstall the fresh food door.  
STEP 2 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.  
Compression Nut  
Saddle Type  
Shutoff Valve  
• Route 1/4" OD copper tubing between house cold  
water line and the water connection location.  
• 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".  
Packing Nut  
Outlet Valve  
Ferrule  
(Sleeve)  
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is  
supplied in GE SmartConnect Refrigerator 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.  
• Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe.  
• Fasten the shut-off valve to the pipe with pipe clamp.  
• Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer  
begins to swell. Do not over tighten.  
• Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the  
end of the tubing and connect it to the shut-off valve.  
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve and  
ferrule is tightened.  
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.  
GE SmartConnect Refrigerator Tubing Kits are  
available in the following lengths:  
2' (.6 m)  
– WX08X10002  
– WX08X10006  
– WX08X10015  
– WX08X10025  
6' (1.8 m)  
15' (4.6 m)  
25' (7.6 m)  
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in many  
water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle  
type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.  
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.  
NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a vertical water  
pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal water  
pipe, make the connection at the top or side to avoid  
drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.  
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.

Refrigerator Connection  
SmartConnect™ Tubing  
If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse  
Osmosis Water System, use the refrigerator’s filter  
bypass plug. Using the refrigerator’s water filtration  
cartridge with the RO filter can result in hollow ice  
cubes and slower water flow from the water dispenser.  
If you are using copper tubing:  
• Place compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)  
onto the end of the tubing coming from the  
house water supply.  
• 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 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.  
Turn on the water at the shut-off valve to check  
for leaks.

Rollers  
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.  
To Adjust the Rollers:  
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.  
Roller Adjusting Screw  
• 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.
