Feed water tube installation

Before

Installation

Warning • Connect to potable water supply only.

• Automatic icemaker operation needs water pressure of 21.3-1 21psi(Ib/inch2)(That

is, a 7oz. papercup will befilled within 3 sec.).

• Ifwater pressure does not reach the rated 21.3psi(Ib/inch2)or below, it is necessary

to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icemaking and cool
water feed.

• Keep the total length of the water feed tube within 40 feet and be careful not to

bend or kink the tube. If the tube is longer than 40 feet, the icemaker and water
dispenser will not operate properly.

• Installthe water feed tube at a placefree from heat.

• Refer to instructions with water filter kit for installation.

Water Connection Instruction Guide

Connecting

the Refrigerator

to a Water Source

Warning

Tools Required

Readall directions carefully before you begin.

Connect to potable water supply only.

• Standard screwdriver

• 7/16-inch and 1/2-inch open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

• 1/4-inch nut driver

• 1/4-inch drill bit

• Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

Cold Water Supply

The icemaker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water

pressure regulator.

The icemaker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure
30o-120psi(Ib/inch2)

Connect

the Tubing to

Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure
on the line. It may help to open an outside faucet to allow the water to drain from
the line in the house.

3. Find a 1/2dnch to 1-1/4-inch vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.

4. To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from the
connection on the lower left rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7
feet (2.1m) to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use 1/4dnch O.D.
(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing arecut
square.

5. Using a drill, drill a 1/4dnch hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is
solidly in the 1/4dnch drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is
under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws
carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or
you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is
used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown.

Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely asfar as it will go. Screw

compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not over tighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn ON main
water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shutoff valve
on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below.

1/4" ssion _,

the water line near the
refrigerator.

1. Remove the plastic flexible

Ferrule

cap from the water valve.

2. Place the compression nut and

ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of RefrigeratorConnection
the tubing as shown.

3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the connection as far as possible. While
holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

Tighten any connections that leak.

• Plug In the Refrigerator

Arrange the coil of copper tubing behind the refrigerator so it does not vibrate
against the back of the refrigerator or against the wall. Push the refrigerator

back to the wall.

• Start the Icemaker
Set the icemaking stop switch to the ON position The icemaker will not begin

to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of 15 °F (-9 °C). It will then

begin operation automatically if the icemaking stop switch is in the ON
position.
