Installing the Water Line

For Australian and New Zealand installation, read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before You Begin

■IMPORTANT: Government legislation and Codes in most States and Territories of Australia require installation by a licensed plumber. The installation must conform to Australian Standard AS 3500.1 Water supply.

■Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to the 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 refrigerator 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 set to the O position.

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

Shut Off the Main Water Supply

For models fitted with an icemaker, a water supply kit (containing flexible tubing and fittings) is supplied with the refrigerator.

The water pressure must be between 138 and 827 kPa on models without a water filter fitted and between 275 and 827 kPa on models with a water filter fitted.

Turn Off the water and open a low tap to drain the water from the pipe.

Complying with the plumbing codes, install a suitable branch fitting (not supplied) to the cold water supply.

Extend the branch to a suitable location adjacent to the refrigerator when it is located in its operating position. Terminate the branch with a shutoff valve (not supplied).

IMPORTANT: The shut-off valve should be accessible (such as in an adjacent cupboard, as close to the wall as possible) when the refrigerator is in its normal operating position.

If your water supply pressure is higher than 690 kPa during the day (if so, it may reach higher levels at night), install a suitable Pressure limiting valve (not supplied), after the shut-off valve, making sure the “flow arrows” on the body of the device face the same direction as the water flow.

If necessary, assemble a suitable fitting (not supplied) to the up-stream end of the shutoff valve (or pressure limiting valve) for attachment of the fitting supplied with the water supply kit.

NOTE: PTFE tape should be used for a water tight seal when assembling all the above fittings.

Do not turn the water supply On at this time.
