INSTALLATION 20

Connecting the Water Line

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 ooding. Call a quali ed plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

CAUTION

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.

CAUTION

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

Water Pressure

You will need a cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi on models without a water lter and between 40 and 120 psi on models with a water lter.

If a reverse osmosis water ltration system is connected to your cold water supply, this water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow the following instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

If a reverse osmosis water ltration 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/cm2 ~ 4.2 kgf/cm2, or less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to ll a cup of 7 oz capacity).

CAUTION

Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 21 psi or 1.5 kgf/cm2 (takes more than 4.0 sec to ll a cup of 7 oz capacity):

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 issue concerning water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, quali ed plumber.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

What You Will Need

	Copper Tubing, ¼ in. outer diameter,
	t o c o n n e c t t h e r e f r i g e r a t o r t o
	t h e w a t e r s u p p l y. B e s u r e b o t h
	ends of the tubing are cut square.
	To determine h ow
	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.
