Water connection instruction guide

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

Connecting

the refrigerator

to a water source

Connect to potable water supply only.

Warning

•

If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn ice maker
to the OFF position to prevent operation without water.

•

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

•

Use copper tubing and check for leaks.

•

Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

•

It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin producing ice.

IMPORTANT

The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water
pressure regulator.

The ice maker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure
207 ~ 827 kPa (30 ~ 120 psi).

If a problem occurs, call your utility company.

Cold water supply

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)

Tools required

•

Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4 - inch saddle-type shut - off valve,
a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16 - inch
saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
