Connecting the Refrigerator

to a Water Source

Read all directions carefully before you begin.
IMPORTANT:

If operating the refrigerator before installing 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.

Use copper tubing and check for leaks.

Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will
remain above freezing.

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

Tools required:

Standard screwdriver

⁷⁄₁₆ in. and ¹⁄₂ in. open-end wrenches or two adjustable
wrenches

¹⁄₄ in. nut driver

¹⁄₄ in. drill bit

Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a

¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) 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 in. (4.76 mm) 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 between 30
and 120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your utility company.

Connecting 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.
