Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed

here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

Flat-blade screwdriver

" and

" Open-end or two

adjustable wrenches

" nut driver

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a

(6.35 mm) 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

(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more

easily.

IMPORTANT:

All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing

only in areas where the household temperatures will remain

above freezing.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and

120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water

dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water

pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a

reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the

refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and

827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your

cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis

system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill

after heavy usage.

If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the

water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse

osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water Filtration

System."

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,

qualified plumber.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is

connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

" Drill bit

Hand drill or electric drill

(properly grounded)

3. Locate a

" (12.70 mm) to 1 " (3.18 cm) vertical cold water

pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the

pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from

the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure

from the connection on the lower rear corner of the refrigerator

to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use

" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure

both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5. Using a grounded drill, drill a

water pipe you have selected.

A. Cold water pipe

B. Pipe clamp

C. Copper tubing

D. Compression nut

6. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be

sure outlet end is solidly in the

water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten

packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly

so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or

you may crush the copper tubing.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the

copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the

outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the compression

nut onto the outlet end with an adjustable wrench. Do not

overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and

turn ON main water supply and flush out the tubing until water

is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the

copper tubing.

Connect to Refrigerator

Style 1

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove and discard the shipping tape and the black nylon

plug from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the

refrigerator.

3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long

enough, a

" x " (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) coupling is needed in

order to connect the water tubing to an existing household

water supply line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling

on the end of the copper tubing.

NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench

two more turns. Do not overtighten.

A. Refrigerator water tubing

B. Nut (provided)

C. Bulb

D. Coupling (provided)

4. Turn shutoff valve ON.

5. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including

connections at the valve) that leak.
