WATER LINE REQUIREMENTS

A water dispenser is one of the helpful features on your

new Kenmore Elite™ Side-By-Side Refrigerator. To help
promote better health, the water filter removes unwanted
particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize or

destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a
water purifying system to do that.

In order for the icemaker to operate properly, a water

pressure of 20~125 psi (pounds per square inch) is
required.

Under normal conditions, a 170-cc (5.75-oz.) cup can be

filled in 10 seconds.

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.

Make sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is
properly filled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever
until the water runs from the water outlet.

NOTE: Water line installation kits are available at extra

cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water

supply kit that contains copper tubing.

CONNECTING TO THE WATER
SUPPLY LINE

1. Shut off the main water supply line and make sure the

icemaker is turned off.

2. Locate the nearest cold water line (1).

NOTE: Only connect to a drinkable cold water source.

3. Install pipe clamp (2) on cold water line (1).

4. Cover threads of shut-off valve (4) with pipe thread

tape or compound; then thread into pipe clamp (2)

and cold water line (1).

5. Connect water line installation kit (3) to shut-off valve (4).
