Attaching the optional ice maker to a water supply

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

wWARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Unplug the refrigerator before installing ice maker.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

NOTE: Your appliance dealer has a kit available with a 1⁄4-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 a piercing-type or 3⁄16-inch saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

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:

•Use copper tubing only and check for leaks.

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

Tools required:

•Standard screwdriver

•7⁄16-inch and 1⁄2-inch open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

•1⁄4-inch nut driver

•1⁄4-inch drill bit

•Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

IMPORTANT:

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

•If operating the refrigerator before install- ing the water connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to prevent operation without water.

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

Installation is not warranted by
