Before You Begin
This water line installation is not covered by the
refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions
carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water
damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house
plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts
and can lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a
qualified plumber to correct water hammer before
installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, only
connect the refrigerator water line to a cold
water supply.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is
in the OFF (O) position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas
where temperatures fall below freezing.
CAUTION
CAUTION
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 (2,8 kgf/cm
2
kgf/cm
oz capacity).
If the water pressure from the
system is less than 21 psi or 1,5 kgf/cm
than 4,0 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity):
, less than 2,0~3,0 seconds to fill a cup of 7
CAUTION
Wear eye protection during installation to
prevent injury.

What you will need
Copper Tubing, 1/4 inch (6,35 mm) 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 sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2,4 m] coiled
into 3 turns of about 10 inch [25 cm] diameter) to
allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall
after installation.
Power drill.
1/2 inch (12,7 mm) or adjustable
wrench.
Flat blade and Phillips head
screwdrivers.
Two 1/4 inch (6,35 mm) outer
diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules
(sleeves) to connect the copper tubing to the
shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.
INSTALLATION
16
If your existing copper water line has a flared
fitting at the end, you will need an adapter
(available at plumbing supply stores) to
connect the water line to the
refrigerator OR you can cut off
the flared fitting with a tube
cutter and then use a compression fitting.
Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water
line. The shutoff valve should have
a water inlet with a minimum
inside diameter of 5/32 inch
(3,46 mm) at the point of
connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddletype shutoff 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
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.
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently
used drinking water line.
1
SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure
on the line.
CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
2
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 off any sediment
from the water pipe.
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.
