Water Supply Requirements

(Refrigerator/Freezer Drawers only)
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.

IMPORTANT:

If you turn ON the refrigerator before the water line is
connected, turn OFF the ice maker.
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.
Tools needed:
Flat-blade screwdriver, 7/16" and 1/2" open-end wrenches or
two adjustable wrenches, 1/4" nut driver and drill bit, cordless
drill.
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 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
Water pressure:
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate ice maker.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a
licensed, qualifi ed 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 fi ltration 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).
Check to see whether the sediment fi lter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the fi lter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refi ll
after heavy usage.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a
licensed, qualifi ed plumber.

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
water pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Connect to potable water supply only.
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 left rear of refrigerator to
the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning.
Use 1/4" (0.63 cm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing.
Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" hole in the cold water
pipe you have selected.
A- Cold water pipe
B- Pipe clamp
C- Copper tubing
D- Compression nut
E- Compression sleeve
F- Shutoff valve
G- Packing 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"
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
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 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:
1. Attach the copper tubing to the valve inlet using a
compression nut and sleeve as shown.
Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten.
Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to
secure the tubing to the refrigerator, as shown.
This will help avoid damage to the tubing when the
refrigerator is pushed back against the wall.
In some European factories the letter "W" of the part code mentioned herein will be automatically
replaced by the number "4000" (e.g. "W12345678" becomes "400012345678")
