WARNING
Toavoidelectricshock, which can causedeath or severe
personal injury,disconnect the refrigeratorfrom electrical
power beforeconnecting awater supply lineto the refrigerator.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
* Copper or stainless steel braided tubing is recommended
for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of
1Ainch plastic is not recommended to be used. Plastic
tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and
the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage
if plastic tubing is used for supply line.
,DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
* Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener
can damage the ice maker, if your home has awater
soften ing system, ensure the softener is maintained
and working properly.
iMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all
local plumbing codes.
Before installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:
*BasicTools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver,
and PhillipsTM screwdriver.
* Access to a household cold water line with water
pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
* A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6 mm) OD, copper or
stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing
needed, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet
valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water
pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the
refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).
* A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your
household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing
type shutoff valve.
A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a
copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
