WATER HOOKUP

READ ALL DIRECTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE YOU BEGIN.

IMPORTANT:

In order to prevent possible leakage resulting in property damage, be sure:

1.If you are operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn the ice maker to the OFF position to prevent operation without water.

2.Use copper tubing.

3.Install tubing only in areas where tempera- tures will remain above freezing.

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

5.See the “Installation Guide” for further information.

•If your refrigerator has a water filter car- tridge, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge.

CONNECTING TO THE

REFRIGERATOR

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Remove the shipping tape from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the re- frigerator.

Style 1

1.Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the end of the copper tubing.

COLD WATER SUPPLY

The ice maker water valve contains a flow wash- er which is used as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure between 30-120 psi. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER SUPPLY

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water sup- ply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30-120 psi. 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 - 60 psi. If the water system to the reverse osmosis water system is less than

40 - 60 psi:

•Check 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 us- age.

Style 2

1.Thread the provided nut onto the water valve, as shown. First tighten the nut by hand, then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.

FINAL CHECKS

1.Turn water supply valve ON and check for leaks. Tighten any connections or nuts that leak (including connections at the valve).

2.Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power. NOTE: It may take up to 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice.
