Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed

here. TOOLS NEEDED:

• Flat-blade screwdriver • W' Nut driver

• _s" and 1,_,,Open-end or two • W' Drill bit adjustable wrenches • Cordless drill

IMPORTANT:

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Do not use a piercing-type or _48"(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing

only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water

dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

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

reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your 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).

Ifthe water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is lessthan 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter inthe reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill

after heavy usage. If your refrigerator has awater filter, it may further reduce the

water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water Filtration

System."

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumbe_

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the _,_"drilled hole in

the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.

Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not

overtightan or you may crush the copper tubing.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end ofthe tubing into the

outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtightan.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water isclear.

TurnOFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.

Connect to Refrigerator

Depending on your model, the water line may come down from

the top or up from the bottom. Follow the connection instructions

for your model.

Style 1

1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nat and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Confirm copper tubing issecure by pullingon

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.

Connect the Water Supply

2. TurnOFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

3. Find a 1_,,to 1V_"(12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

• Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side ofthe pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Meseure from the connection on the rear of the refrigeratorto the water

pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use V4"(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of

copper tubing are cut square.
