Water supply installation

Before

installation

Warning

Disposal of the

old appliance

• Automatic icemaker operation needs water pressure of 21N121 psi (1.5N8.5

kgf/cm2)(That is, an instant paper cup (6 oz. or 180 cc)will be fully filled within
3 seconds.)

• If water pressure is less than 21 psi (1.5 kgf/cm2).It is necessary to purchase a

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

• Keepthe total length of the feed water pipe tube within 26' (8 m). Be careful for the

tube to avoid being kinked. If the tube is longer than 26' (8 m), the pressure may
drop to an unacceptable level.

• Install the water supply line where it will not be affected by heat.

• Connect to potable water supply only.

This appliancecontains fluids (refrigerant and lubricant) and is made of parts and

materials which are reusable and/or recyclable.
All the important materials should be sent to the collection center of waste material
and can be reused after rework (recycling).For recycling, please contact the local

agency.

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-inchand 1/2-inchopen-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

• 1/4-inchnut driver

• 1/4-inchdrill 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
21 psi (Ib/inch2)

Connect

the tubing to

water line

1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Turn OFF the 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 1/2-inchvertical 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 1/4-inchO.D.
(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut

square.

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

6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet
end is solidly in the 1/4"drilled hole in the water pipe and the washer is under

the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws
carefully and evenly so the 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 the compression sleeve and the compression nut onto the copper tubing
as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it

will go. Tighten the compression nut onto the outlet end with a wrench. A flare
nut wrench works best, but an open end wrench will suffice. Do not

overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn on the main
water supply. Flush out the tubing until the water is clear. Turn off the shutoff

valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below.

Connect the tubing to

the refrigerator

Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator
power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we recommend installing

one. If your water supply has sand or particles, that could clog the screen of
the refrigerator's water valve. Install the filter in the water line near the

refrigerator.

Refrigerator Connection

1. Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve.

2. Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of 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.

Turn the water on at

the shutoff valve

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 icemaker 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.
