Connecting the Refrigerator

to a Water Source

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn ice maker 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 copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

■It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin producing ice.

Tools required:

■Standard screwdriver

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

■¹⁄₄ in. nut driver

■¹⁄₄ in. drill bit

■Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a

¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing- type or ³⁄₁₆ in. (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Cold water supply

The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer 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 and 120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your utility company.

Connecting to water line:

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

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