Tubing Kits are available.
One 8' (2.4m) water line
(WX08X10006) is needed for
each unit. The waterline will
be taped to the floor using
masking tape after anti-tip
bracket installation.
Tubing should be long enough to extend to the front
of the unit. Allow enough tubing to accommodate
bend leading into the water line connection. Unit
must be tipped on its side to route waterline
underneath and to the front of the appliance.
NOTE: The only GE Appliances approved plastic
tubing is supplied in the SmartConnect
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.

Mount the anti-tip bracket centered about the mark
and flush to the floor as shown. Mark 3 holes for wall
mounting or 4 holes for floor mounting.
WOOD MOUNTING: Predrill with 3/16" drill bit, 2"
deep, then install lag bolts with a 7/16" driver.

concrete bit, 2" deep, then install tapcon screws with
a 7/16" driver.
STEEL MOUNTING: Predrill with a
1/2" drill bit, insert toggle, then install
bolts with a 7/16" driver.
The bracket must be screwed to
either the FLOOR or REAR WALL.
If the enclosure is deeper than 25
½", the anti-tip bracket should be
secured to the floor 25" from front of the enclosure.
Tape the waterline to the wall and floor approximately
3" to the left of the anti-tip bracket. Apply tape about
every 5" toward the front of the opening (tape will
prevent the unit from
rolling over the waterline
during installation). Do
not tape near the cabinet
front in order to keep tape
hidden under the unit.
