To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury,disconnect the refrigerator
from electrical power before connecting awater supply line to the refrigerator.
To Avoid Property Damage:
•Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼" plastic is not
recommended since it greatly increases the potential for water leaks. 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 softener can damage the ice maker, if the ice maker isconnected to soft
water, ensu re that the softener is maintained and working properly.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that your water suppry line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 100 psi.
• A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed,
you will need to 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 the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
