10 Connecting The Water Supply

About your refrigerator’s water supply

The automatic ice & water dispenser on your refrigerator requires a permanent water supply to function correctly. During installation, you (or a service professional) establish this water supply by connecting a copper tube from your household water system to a valve at the rear of the refrigerator.

You may have already followed the directions in the Installation Instructions to connect the water supply. This information is repeated here for future reference if you need to relocate your refrigerator.

CAUTION

To avoid property damage:

•Use copper tubing for the water supply line (plastic tubing is more likely to leak). Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply line.

•Ensure water supply and installation comply with state and local laws and regulations.

•For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.

What you will need:

•Access to a cold water line with pressure of

30-100 psi. (System supplied with cold water only.)

•Copper tubing with ¼ inch (6.4mm) Outside

Diameter (OD). Length for this tubing is the distance from the rear of the refrigerator to your household water supply line plus seven feet (2.1 meters).

•A shut-off valve for the connection between your household water line and the refrigerator supply line.

Do not use a self-piercing shut-off valve.

•A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for the water supply connection at the rear of your refrigerator.

NOTE

A kit is available from your dealer that provides all materials for a water supply installation, including 25 feet of copper tubing and full instructions.

3Unscrew the plastic cap from the water valve inlet at the rear of your refrigerator. Discard the cap.

4Slide the brass compression nut, then the ferrule (sleeve) onto copper tube.

5Push the copper tube into water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch).

6Slide the ferrule (sleeve) into valve and finger-tighten the compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench. Do not over-tighten.
