Installation Instructions

1INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Recommended copper water supply kits are WX8X2, WX8X3 or WX8X4, depending on the amount of tubing you need. Approved plastic water supply lines are refrigerator tubing kits WX08X10002, WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X10025.

When connecting your refrigerator to a reverse osmosis water system, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the O (off) position (on power switch models) or the feeler arm is in the STOP (up) position (on feeler arm models).

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is double insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

•Copper or approved plastic refrigerator tubing kit, 1/4″ outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. If using copper, be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.

To determine how much tubing you need: measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8′ (2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8′ [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10″ [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

Approved plastic refrigerator tubing kits are available in the following lengths:

2′

(0.6

m)

– WX08X10002

6′

(1.8

m)

– WX08X10006

15′ (4.6

m)

– WX08X10015

25′ (7.6

m)

– WX08X10025

Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8′ (2.4 m) as described above.

NOTE: The only approved plastic tubing is that supplied in the refrigerator tubing kits listed above. 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.
