INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR (Cont.)
CONNECTING TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
(Icemaker models only)
A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker
operation. If there is not a cold water supply, you will
need to provide one. See Installing the Water Line
section.
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be
sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into
the wall outlet.
• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we
recommend installing one if your water supply has
sand or particles that could clog the screen of the
refrigerator’s water valve. Install it in the water line
near the refrigerator. If using Universal Water Line
Refrigerator Tubing Kit, you will need an additional
tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter. Do not cut
plastic tube to install filter.
• Before connecting the water line to the house, purge
the house line for at least 2 minutes.
A. 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
supply.
If you are using the Universal tubing, the nuts
are already assembled to the tubing.
B. 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.
If you are using Universal tubing, insert the
molded end of the tubing into the refrigerator
connection, at the back of the refrigerator, and
tighten the compression nut until it is hand tight.
Then tighten one additional turn with a wrench.
Over tightening may cause leaks.
C. Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it
in position. You may need to pry open the clamp.
One of the illustrations below will look like the
connection on your refrigerator.
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).
WARNING
