The water pressure must be between 21 and

121 p,sJ, (1,5~8,5 kgficm =) on models without a water filter and between 43 and 121 ps,i, (3~8.5 kgf/cm _) on models with a water filter.

If water pressure does not reach 21 psi (1,5kgficm 2)or falls below, it is necessary to purchase a separate pre_ure pump for normal automatic icemaker and water dispensing operation,

It is recommended that the total length of the water feed tube does not exceed 26 ft. (8 m).

Install the water supply line where it will not be affected by heat,

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, This water

line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow next instructions

carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (2,8 kgficm 2 --

4.2 kgf/cm% less than 2.0~3.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz capacity),

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 21 psi (1.5 kgf/cm =, more than 4.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz capacity):

Che_ to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

If the issue about water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber,

CONNECTING THE WATER LINES

IMPORTANT: Before connecting the tubing to the water line, unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the power,

Turn off the main water supply and open the nearest faucet to relieve pressure in the line,

Opening an outside faucet may help drain water from the line in the house,

Find a 1/2oin, vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator,

NOTE: A horizontal pipe wili work, but the

following precaution must be taken: drill on the top of the pipe, not the bottom. This wil help

IMPORTANT: Read all directions thoroughly before you begin.

If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn the icemaker to the OFF position to prevent operation without water,

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

Use copper tubing and check for leaks,

Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain a_ve freezing.

It may take up to 24 hours for the icemaker to begin producing ice.

Tools Required

Standard screwdriver

7/1Gin and 1/2-in open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

1/4-in. nut driver

1/44n, drill bit

Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE: Refrigerator dealers offer a kit with a 1!4-in. saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle- type valve complies with local plumbing codes

Do not use a piercing-type or 3/1_in, saddle valve which r_uces water flow and clogs more

NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248CMR shall be adhered to.

Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

Cold water Supply

The icemaker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water pressure regulator.

The icemaker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure between 21 ~121 psi (1.5--8,5 kgflcm 2)on models without a water filter and between 43 and 121 p.s.i. (3--8.5kgf/cm 2) on models with a water filter.

keep water away from the drill and also keep normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from the connection on the lower left rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe, Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for moving the refrigerator for cleaning, Use 1/4-in. O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square

Using a drill, drill a 1!4-in. hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.
