Important!

Read the instructions before connection, and do not attempt if instructions are not understood or are beyond personal skill level.

It is recommended that an authorized plumber in your state or town is used to install the water connection, to ensure all local codes and ordinances are followed. Consult a plumber to connect ¼” (6.35 mm) OD copper tubing to household plumbing to assure compliance with local codes and compliance.

Installation precautions/warnings

CONFIRM water pressure to water valve is between 35 and 100 pounds per square inch, 20 pounds per square inch without filter.

WAIT two to three hours before placing refrigerator in final position to check and correct any water leaks. Recheck for leaks after 24 hours. Water damage to an improper water connection may cause mold/ mildew growth. Clean up spills or leakage immediately.

DO NOT use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

DO NOT use a self piercing or 3⁄16” (4.7 mm) saddle valve. Both reduce the water flow, can become clogged over time, and may cause leaks if repair is attempted.

DO NOT service ice maker unless specifically recommended in User Guide or published user- repair instructions.

CHECK the copper tubing under the sleeve is smooth and free from defects. Do not reuse an old sleeve.

Tools needed:

1⁄4” (6.35 mm) outer diameter flexible copper tubing.

Shut-off valve (requires a 1⁄4” (6.35 mm) hole to be drilled into water supply line before valve attachment).

Adjustable wrench (2).

1⁄4” (6.35 mm) hex nut driver.

Note:

Use copper tubing only for installation. Plastic is less durable and can cause damage.

Add 8’ (2440 mm) to tubing length needed to reach water supply for creation of service loop.
