Water connection
1
Ensure that the refrigerator is NOT plugged into a power supply.
2
Locate a cold water supply/feed only suitable for a water connection.
Tee & tap fittings are not supplied. If you can’t find the connection
faucet, contact an authorized plumber in your state or town to fit your
water connection.
3
Create a service loop with copper tubing (minimum 24” (610 mm)
diameter). Avoid kinks in the copper tubing when bending the service
loop. Do not use plastic tubing from the water supply connection.
(Refer to Step 3 diagram).
4
Remove plastic cap from the water valve inlet port. (Refer to Step 4
diagram).
5
Place brass nut (
a ) and sleeve/olive ( b ) on copper tube end as
illustrated. REMINDER: Do not use an old sleeve. The nut and sleeve
are provided in the Use & Care packet (refer to Step 5 diagram).
6
Bend to shape tubing slightly – do not kink – so that the tubing feeds
straight into the inlet port. Place end of copper tubing into water
valve inlet port.
7
Slide brass nut (
a ) over sleeve/olive ( b ) and screw nut into inlet port.
Place adjustable wrench on nut ( 1 ) attached to plastic waterline and
maintain position. Using a second adjustable wrench, turn the lower
nut (
2 ) counter clockwise and fully tighten while holding the upper
nut in place (refer to Step 7a/7b diagram).
Important!
Do not over-tighten. Take care not to cross thread.
8 Pull on tubing to confirm connection is secure. Connect tubing to
frame with water tubing clamp ( c ) and turn on water supply. Check
for leaks and correct if necessary prior to moving the refrigerator to its
permanent location (refer to Step 8 diagram).
9 Monitor water connection for 24 hours. Correct leaks if necessary.
