Water Line Installation Instructions

20INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

WARNING

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is bat- tery powered, double insulated or grounded in

a manner that will prevent the hazard of electric shock.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drink- ing water line.

1SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.

2CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible.

It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid draw- ing off any sediment from the water pipe.

3DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE Drill a ¼ in. hole in the water pipe

using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Be careful not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a

¼in. hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

NOTE

The hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing NDA tubing #49595 or 49599 or Cross Link Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

6ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

NOTE

Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after instal- lation.

7CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.
