14Connecting the Water Supply

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.

CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage:

•Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼ inch plastic is not recommended to be used. Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.

•DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

•Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT

Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.

Before installing the water supply line, you will need:

1.Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver

2.Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.

3.A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper or stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of

the refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).

4.A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.

5.Do NOT reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.

6.A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

To connect water supply line to ice maker inlet valve:

1.Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.

2.Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.

3.Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.

4.If you use copper tubing - Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch / 6.4 mm).

Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 1.

If you use stainless steel tubing - The nut and ferrule are already assembled on the tubing. Slide compression nut onto valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 2.

5.With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.

6.Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 2½ turns, behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.

7.Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.

8.Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.

9.To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (freezer ice maker) or set the ice maker’s On/Off power switch to the On position (fresh food ice maker).
