IMPORTANT
After connecting the water supply, refer to
“How to Prime the Water Supply System” for
important information about priming an empty
water supply system.
Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes
several tubing lines, a water filter, a water
valve, and a water tank. To ensure that your
water dispenser works properly, this system
must be completely filled with water when your
refrigerator is first connected to the household
water supply line.

1 Disconnect refrigerator from electric power
source.
2 Place end of water supply line into sink or
bucket. Turn ON water supply and flush
supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water
supply at shutoff valve.
3 Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and
discard cap.
4 If you use copper tubing - Slide brass
compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto
water supply line. Push water supply line
into water valve inlet as far as it will go
(¼ inch/6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into
valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut
onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a
wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 1.
If you use stainless steel tubing - The nut and
ferrule are already assembled on the tubing.
Slide compression nut onto valve inlet and
finger tighten compression nut onto valve.
Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO
NOT over tighten. See Figure 1.
5 With steel clamp and screw, secure water
supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel
of refrigerator as shown.
6 Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing
only), about 2½ turns, behind refrigerator
as shown and arrange coils so they do not
vibrate or wear against any other surface. Do
not kink tubing.
7 Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and
tighten any connections that leak.
8 Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power
source.
9 To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm
(freezer ice maker) or set the ice maker’s On/
Off power switch to the “On” position (fresh
food ice maker).
