BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer or retailer. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the Off (0) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is double- insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock, or is battery-powered.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, this water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer or retailer. Follow next instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

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 to 60 psi (2.8 kgf/cm 2 ~ 4.2 kgf/cm 2, less than 2.0~3.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 21 psi (1.5 kgf/cm _, more than 4.0sec to fill a cup of 7oz capacity):

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 usage.

If the issue about water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

NOTE: Wear eye protection.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

.,_

Copper Tubing, 1/4" outer diameter

to connect the refrigerator to the

//

water supply. Be sure both ends of //"

 

the tubing are cut square.

 

To determine how much tubing you need, measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the

refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10"

[25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 p.s.i, on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 p.s.i, on models with a water filter.

Power drill.

1/2" or adjustable wrench.

Straight- and Phillips- blade screwdriver.

Two 1/4" outer diameter

compression nuts and

2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper tubing

to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve. If your existing copper water

line has a flared fitting at the end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to

connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.

Shutoff valve to connect

to the cold water line.

The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of 5/32" at the point of

connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

NOTE: Self Piercing Saddle Type Water Valve should not be used.
