Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

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

Connect to Water Line

Parts Needed:

■Minimum 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible, codes approved water supply line

5.Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

Style 1 - Shutoff Valve Connection

NOTE: If your water line connection does not look like Style 1, see “Style 2 - Copper Line Connection.”

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power supply.

IMPORTANT: Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flush the main water supply line to remove particles and air in the water line. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing the water line may help avoid filters and/or water valves from becoming clogged.

2.Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to the water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto the shutoff valve as shown.

NOTE: The shutoff valve shown is in the side cabinet as recommended.

6.Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.

IMPORTANT: Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flush the main water supply line to remove particles and air in the water line. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing the water line may help avoid filters and/or water valves from becoming clogged.

7.Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten the clamp or the sleeve. This will crush the copper tubing.

8.Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.

9.Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to the water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto the shutoff valve.

10.Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff valve ON.

connections at the valve) that leak.
Style 2 - Copper Line Connection
NOTE: If there is a water supply line that meets the specifications
in “Water Supply Requirements,” proceed to “Connecting to
Refrigerator.” If not, use the following instructions to connect to
the household cold water supply.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.			1"
		7"	(2.54 cm)
■ Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
		(17.78 cm)
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and keep normal sediment from collecting in the

valve.

4.Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
