INSTALLATION

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 flooding. Call a qualified 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

button is turned o.

CAUTION

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

Water Pressure

The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20 psi), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

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

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 (276-414 kPa or

2.8-4.2 kgf/cm², less than 2.0-3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity).

CAUTION

Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.

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 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity):

Check to see if the sediment filter in

the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

Allow the storage tank on the reverse

osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

If the issue concerning water pressure

from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

All installations must be in accordance

with local plumbing code requirements.

What You Will Need

Copper Tubing,

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 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
