Water Connection
Please read the first three points of the safety
instructions and warnings before connecting the
appliance to the main water supply.
• The water pressure must be between 21.8-87.0
psi (1.5-6 bar).
• Use a 1/4 inch OD copper line to connect the
water supply to the solenoid valve. This is not
supplied with the refrigerator (Figure 9).
• A shut-off valve, such as the saddle valve
illustration here, must be installed between the
hose line and the main water supply so the
water supply can be stopped if necessary.
Do not install the shut-off valve behind the
refrigeration unit.
Figure 9
• If you have hard water, we recommend you install
a water softener. Also, a filter must be installed if
the water contains solids such as sand.
• All equipment and devices used to supply the
water to the appliance must comply with the
current regulations for your geographical area.
Connection to the Water Supply
1. Install the shut-off valve, water filter and
automatic shut-off device as required.
Note
The solenoid valve is located at the rear of
your unit.
2. The 1/4 inch copper
tubing between the
shut-off valve and
solenoid valve has a
3/4 inch male
connector
(Figure
10). Make sure there
is approximately 27
inches (68.6 cm) of
excess tubing behind
the unit for easy
connection.
Note
A 3/4 inch to a 1/4
inch adapter is
supplied with the
icemaker.
3. Open the shut-off
valve for the water
supply and check the
entire water system for
leaks. Before the appliance is used for the first
time a licensed plumber should bleed air from
the system.
4. Insert the electrical plug for the combined
refrigerator/freezer into the electrical outlet
(Figure 11).
5. Move the combined refrigerator-freezer into final
position in the room.
