Before Beginning

This water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions

carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water

damage.

If necessary, call a qualied plumber to correct

water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator. Water banging in the pipes, or water hammer in residential plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to

water leakage or ooding.

• Turn the icemaker OFF if the refrigerator will be

used before the water line is connected.

• Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas

where the ambient temperatures fall below freezing.

WARNING

• Connect to potable water supply only.

CAUTION

• To prevent burns and product damage, only

connect the refrigerator water line to a cold water supply.

• Wear eye protection during installation to

prevent injury.

• Check to see if 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 usage.

• If the water pressure remains low, call a licensed, qualied plumber.

• All installations must be in accordance with local

plumbing code requirements.

Supplies Needed

• Copper or PEX Tubing, ¼ in. outer diameter, to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square. To determine how much tubing you need, measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then,

add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure there is sucient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow

the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

• Power drill.

• ½ in. or adjustable wrench.

• Flat-blade and Phillips-head screwdrivers.

• Two ¼ in. outer diameter compression nuts

and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper

tubing to the shuto valve and the refrigerator

water valve.

Water Pressure

You will need a cold water supply.

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/

cm2 (takes more than 4 seconds to ll a cup of 7 oz

or 198 cc capacity):

20 - 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa)

40 - 60 psi minimum to reverse osmosis system (2.8 kgf/cm2 - 4.2 kgf/ cm2, or

less than 2 - 3 seconds to ll

a cup of 7 oz capacity)

• If your existing copper water line has a ared tting at the end, purchase an adapter (available

at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water

line to the refrigerator OR cut o the ared tting with a tube cutter and then use a compression tting.

19INSTALLATION

• Shuto valve to connect to the cold water line. The shuto valve should have a water inlet with

a minimum inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE.

Saddle-type shuto valves are included in many

water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

NOTE

• A self-piercing saddle type water valve should

not be used.

Water Line Installation Instructions

Install the shuto valve on the nearest frequently

used drinking water line.

WARNING

• When using any electrical device (such as a

power drill) during installation, be sure the device is battery-powered, double-insulated or grounded in a manner that will prevent the hazard of electric shock.

Shut o the main water supply.

• Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the

pressure on the line.

Drill the hole for the valve.

• Drill a ¼ in. hole in the water pipe using a

sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Be careful not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a ¼ in. hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

NOTE

• The hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing.

Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing (NDA tubing #49595 or #49599) or Cross Link Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

Fasten the shuto valve.

• Fasten the shuto valve to the cold water

pipe with the pipe clamp.

NOTE

• Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing

Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

ENGLISH

Choose the valve location.

• Choose a location for the valve that is easily

accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing

o any sediment from the water pipe.
