Attaching the ice maker to a water supply

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

NOTE: Your appliance dealer has a kit available with a X-inch saddle type shut-off valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use piercing type or %-inch saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical supply to refrigerator before installing.

Electrical drill must be grounded before drilling holes in water line.

Failure to do so could result in death, electrical shock, or serious injury.

IMPORTANT:

. Use copper tubing only and check for leaks.

l Install ice maker tubing in areas where temperatures are above freezing.

Cold water supply

The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure limitations of 20-120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your utility company.

IMPORTANT:

lIt may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin producing ice.

l If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to prevent operation without water.

l All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

Tools required:

l Standard screwdriver

l %s-inch and %-inch open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

l X-inch nut driver l %-inch drill bit

l Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

Connecting to water line

1.Find a M-inch to 1X-inch vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following

precaution must be taken: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

2.Measure from connection on rear of refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. This is the length of %-inch O.D. copper tubing you will need for the job (length from connection to water pipe PLUS 7 feet [2.1 ml). Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

3.Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

4.Using a grounded drill, drill a %-inch hole on the cold water pipe you have selected.
