Gather therequired tools andparts before s tarting i nstallation.

Read a ndfollow theinstructions provided with anytools listed

here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

•

Flat-blade screwdriver

•

1/4"Drill bit

•

7/16"and 1/2"Open-end or two

adjustable wrenches

•

Hand drill or electric drill

(properly grounded)

•

1/4"nut driver

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4"

(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 ¾e"

(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.

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.

Locate a 1/2" (12.70 mm) to 11¼ '' (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.

Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure

from the connection on the lower rear corner of refrigerator to

the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4"

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

ends of copper tubing are cut square.

Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the cold

water pipe you have selected.

B. Pipe clamp

F. Shutoff valve

C. Copper tubing

G.Packing nut

D. Compression nut

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4"(6.35 mm)

drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the

pipe clamp. Tighten the 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 outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not

overtighten.

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

ON the main water supply. Flush 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. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression

nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not

overtighten.

3. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure

the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help prevent

damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back

against the wall.

4. Turn shutoff valve ON.

5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections

(including

connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
