3.Locate a ½ in. to 1¹⁄₄ in. (12.7 mm to 3.18 cm) vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure

must be followed: 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.

4.To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from connection on lower left rear of refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5.Using a grounded drill, drill a ¹⁄₄ in. hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

2.Turn shut-off valve ON. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

6.Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄ in. drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

7.Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

8.Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil copper tubing.

Connecting to refrigerator:

1.Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help prevent damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back against the wall. Move to step 2.

3.The ice maker water valve is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If local water conditions require periodic cleaning or a well is your source of water supply, a second water strainer should be installed in the ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) water line. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer. Install at either tube connection.

4.Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Interior Water Filter Installation

(onsomemodels)

The interior water filter cartridge is located in the upper right- hand corner of the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator. The interior water filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. (See “Replacing the interior water filter cartridge” in the features section of this book.)

Installing the interior water filter cartridge

NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

1.Carefully remove the interior water filter cartridge from its packaging. Remove the red cap from the cartridge.

2.Apply the appropriate month sticker to the cartridge as a reminder to replace the cartridge within six months. Then apply the “Water Filter Replacement Reminder” sticker to your calendar as a reminder to replace the cartridge in six months.

3.Line up the INSTALL mark on the water filter label with the indicator line that is molded into the filter mounting bracket cover. Push the cartridge into the filter mounting bracket.

Twist the cartridge ¹⁄₄ turn to the right to lock it into place. The REMOVE mark should be lined-up with the indicator line located on the front cover.
