Connect Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

■Use copper tubing or Whirlpool supply line, Part Number 8212547RP, and check for leaks.

■Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

TOOLS NEEDED:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

■Flat-blade screwdriver

■⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

■¹⁄₄" nut driver

Connect to Water Line

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

3.Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the equivalent, served by a ¹⁄₂" copper household supply line.

NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a minimum ¹⁄₂" size copper household supply line is recommended.

5.Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn on main water supply to flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.

NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final connection to the inlet of the water valve, to avoid possible water valve malfunction.

6.Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet, which is located on the back of the refrigerator cabinet as shown. Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the refrigerator to be pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.
