2. Using hand, rotate the brake feet. Turn them counterclockwise

until the rollers are off the oor and both brake feet are snug against the oor. This keeps refrigerator from rolling forward when opening the doors.

Water Supply Requirements

A cold water supply with water pressure between 20 psi and 145 psi (138 kPa and 1000 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied plumber.

NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the ow of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out

of a reverse osmosis system and supplying the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 20 psi and 145 psi (138 kPa and 1000 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water ltration system is connected to your home cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

■ Check to see whether the sediment lter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.

■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell

after heavy use. The tank capacity could be too small to keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Faucet-mounted reverse osmosis systems are not recommended.

■ If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce

the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water lter. See the “Water Filtration System” section.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied plumber.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ Connect to potable water supply only.

A. Brake feet

IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments

involving brake feet, you must turn both brake feet same amount to keep the refrigerator level.

3. Use a level to make sure refrigerator is level from side to side and front to back.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

■ Plumbing must be installed in accordance with the

International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

■ Copper and PEX tubing connections from the household

water line to the refrigerator are acceptable and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice or water. Check for leaks.

If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the following: 7 ft (2.14 m) jacketed PEX, 5 ft (1.52 m) PEX, or 25 ft (7.62 m) PEX.

■ Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain

above freezing.

Tools Needed:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

■ 7/16" and 1/2" open-end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches

■ 1/4" nut driver

NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve, which reduces water ow and clogs easier.

Connect to Water Line

Connect to Refrigerator

IMPORTANT: If you have turned the refrigerator on before the

water was connected, turn off the ice maker.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long

enough to reduce water pressure in the water line.

3. Use a 3/4-14" shut-off valve or equivalent. The refrigerator is provided with a household supply line with the installation kit that connects to the shut-off valve and to the refrigerator.

NOTE: Appliance is equipped with a water installation kit. To assure proper connection to your water supply, use proper sealing material in the connection. Check if connection is sealed properly after some hours of operation.

Follow the connection instructions specic to your model.

1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the

copper tubing to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Conrm copper tubing is secure by pulling on copper tubing.

2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks

when coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp.

4. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing to the shut-off valve. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) soft copper tubing to connect the shut-off valve and the refrigerator.

■ Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job.

Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.

■ Slip compression sleeve and compression nut onto 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.

C. Copper tubing

5. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink and turn on main water supply to ush out tubing until water is clear. Turn off shut-off valve on the water pipe.

NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the nal connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid possible water valve malfunction.

6. Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet, located on the back of the refrigerator cabinet as shown. Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the refrigerator to be pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.

A. Copper tubing B. “P” clamp

C. Compression nut D. Compression sleeve

3. Turn on water supply to refrigerator and check for leaks.

Correct any leaks.

4. If ice is desired, turn on the ice maker. Note: Allow 24 hours to produce the rst batch of ice. Discard

the rst three batches of ice produced. Allow three days to completely ll the ice storage bin.
