Water Supply Requirements
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.
TOOLS NEEDED:
•
•7/16" and 1/2"
•1/4" Nut driver
•1/4" Drill bit
•Cordless drill
IMPORTANT:
•All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
•DO NOT use a
3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
•Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.
Connect the Water Supply
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
Connect to Water Line
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 1/2" to
IMPORTANT:
•Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
•Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4.Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the rear of the 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.
5.Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.
