WHAT YOU WILL NEED (Cont.)
NOTE: The only GE Appliances, a Haier company,
approved plastic tubing is that supplied in Universal
Water Line 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.

and fittings listed below) is available at extra cost
from your dealer or from cafeappliances.com/

Tubing kit, the necessary fittings are preassembled
to the tubing.
• If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting
at the end, you will need an adapter (available at
plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to
the refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting
with a tube cutter and then use a compression
fitting. Do not cut formed end from Universal Water
Line Refrigerator tubing.

The shutoff valve should have a water inlet
point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE.
Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many
