Electrical &

water supply

requirements

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20ampere, fused, electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong ground plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong, ground-type outlet, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition* or Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1-1982 and C22.2 No. 01982 (or latest edition)**, and all local codes and ordinances.

Water supply requirements

Use only 1/4" (6 mm) copper tubing for water line.

Do Not install copper tubing in area where temperatures drop below 32°F (0°C).

Before attaching copper tubing to refrigerator, flush at least 2 quarts (1.9 L) of water through the copper tubing and into a bucket to get rid of any particles in the water line.

Do Not overtighten clamp or sleeve. This will crush copper tubing.

Check for leaks around saddle valve.

3. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

4. Vertical cold water line: Use grounded electric drill or hand drill to drill 3/16" (4.5 mm) hole in an easily accessible location in water line.

Horizontal cold water line: Use grounded electric drill or hand drill to drill 3/16" (4.5 mm) hole in the top of the water line. This will keep sediment from collecting in valve.

5. Position washer over hole in water line. Turn saddle valve handle clockwise to expose piercing lance a maximum of 3/16" (4.5 mm). Align piercing lance over hole in water line. Place both halves of saddle valve bracket against water line. Turn saddle valve handle clockwise until piercing lance enters hole in water line and is firmly seated. The saddle valve is not in the closed position. Tighten packing nut. Evenly and firmly tighten bracket screws so washer will make a water-tight connection. Do Not overtighten

screws; copper tubing could be crushed.

6. Check that both ends of copper tubing are cut square. Slide compression nut and sleeve onto copper tubing. Insert end of copper tubing completely into valve outlet. Tighten compression nut to outlet with adjustable wrench. Do Not overtighten.

7. Turn on main water supply. Check for leaks. Turn saddle valve handle counterclockwise and run water through copper tubing and into a bucket. Turn saddle valve handle clockwise to shut off water to copper tubing.

8. Route copper tubing to refrigerator area.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Do not ground to gas pipe. Check with a qualified electrician if

you are not sure the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

It is the customer’s responsibility: To contact a qualified electrical

installer. To assure that the electrical

installation is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition* or Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1-1982 and C22.2 No. 01982 (or latest edition)**, and all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these

instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Water line to refrigerator must provide 15-100 psi (103-690 kPa) water pressure.

To calculate length of 1/4" (6 mm) O.D. copper tubing needed:

1. Locate a vertical 1/2" (1.2 cm) to 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) COLD water line near refrigerator area. A horizontal COLD water line can be used if directions in Step 4 are carefully followed.

2. Measure distance from cold water line to refrigerator area. Add 24" (61 cm) to this measurement.

To rough in water line:
