/rtsta//atiort - Connecting Optional ice Maker To Water Supply
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the
refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.
To Avoid Property Damage:
- Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line.Water supplytubing made of 1/_,,pJastic is not
recommended since it greatJy increases the potentiaJ for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsibJe for
any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply line.
• DO NOT instaJl water su ppJy tubing in areas where temperatures faJl beJow freezing.
- ChemicaJs from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker, if the ice maker is connected to soft
water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.
iMPORTANT: Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need
* BasicTools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver
* Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and t 00 psi.
* A water supply line made of 1Ainch(6.4 ram) OD, copper tubing. Todetermine the length of copper tubing needed,
you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water
pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).
* A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type
shutoff valve.
* A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
