Attaching the
automatic ice maker
to a water supply
(Optional on some models)
(Ice maker can be purchased
separately as a kit.)
Read all directions carefully before you
begin.
IMPORTANT:
•
Use only copper tubing (soft tubing is recommended)
and check for leaks.
•
Install ice maker tubing in areas where temperatures
are above freezing.
Tools required:
•
Flat-blade screwdriver
•
1/2" open-end wrench or adjustable wrench
•
1/4" and 5/16" drill bit
•
Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)
•
Hammer
•
Center punch
•
Bucket
•
Towel
•
Gloves
NOTE: Your dealer has a kit available with a 1/4" saddle-
type shutoff 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" saddle valve which reduces water flow and
clogs more easily.
Cold water supply
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 of 20-120 psi (140-827
call your utility company or a licensed plumber.
IMPORTANT:
•
It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin
producing ice.
•
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
•
If operating the refrigerator before installing the water
connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position (arm up)
to prevent operation without water.
Installation is not warranted by refrigerator or ice
maker manufacturer.
Connecting to water line
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet
long enough to clear the line of water.
3. Find a 1/2" (1.3 cm) to 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) vertical COLD
water pipe near the refrigerator.
NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but you must drill on the
top or side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help
keep water away from the drill and keep normal sediment
from collecting in the valve.
4. Measure from connection on rear of refrigerator to
water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1 m) to allow for moving
refrigerator for cleaning. This is the length of 1/4-inch
O.D. copper tubing you will need for the job (length
from connection to water pipe PLUS 7 feet [2.1 m]).
Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
5. Use a hammer and center punch to mark drilling
location on water pipe. Using a properly grounded
electric drill (see drill instructions), drill a 1/4-inch (6.4
mm) hole in the cold water pipe.
NOTE: Use caution when center-punching and drilling
hole into water pipe. Too much pressure against pipe that
is not adequately supported can cause leaks in the pipe
