INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR (cont.)
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only.
A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure must be
between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals).
CONNECTING TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(icemaker and dispenser models)
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be
sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into
the wall outlet.
• Before connecting the water line to the house, purge
the house line for at least 2 minutes.
• Some models have the refrigerator connection at
the water valve (Configuration 1). Other models
have the refrigerator connection at the end of
tubing located outside the compressor compartment
access cover (Configuration 2).
• On Configuration 1 Models, the
refrigeration connection is at the
water valve, remove the plastic
flexible cap, as shown here.
Water supply connection.
If you are using copper tubing, place a
compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end
of the tubing coming from the house cold water

If you are using Universal water line tubing, the
nuts are already assembled to the tubing.
Refrigerator Connection.
If you are using copper tubing, insert the end of
the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at the
back of the refrigerator, as far as possible. While
holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
TURN ON THE WATER SUPPLY

Turn the water on at the
shutoff valve (house water

is hand tight. Then tighten one additional turn with
a wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.
