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
7/16" a nd 1/2"Open-end or two
adjustable wrenches
1/4"nut driver
1/4"Drill bit
Hand drill or electric drill
(properly grounded)
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 3/16"
(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 - 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 - 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 - 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 - 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.
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
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.

6. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be
sure outlet end is solidly in the 1/4"(6.35 mm) drilled hole 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 1/4"x 1/4"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.
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.
3. Locate a 1/2"(12.70 mm) to 11/4 '' (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.
