The installation inust conlolin to Australian
Standard AS 3500.1 _,V_ter SUl)ply.
::__'ater hammer (water banging in the pipes)
in house l)lumbing can cause damage to the
refl'igerator parts and lead to water leakage or
flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct
water hammer before installing the water sui)ply
line to the refl'igerator,
>:To prevent burns and refl'igerator damage, do
not hook up the water line to the hot water line,
i(;]f you use your refl'igerator before connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker power switch
is set to the 0 position.
::7:Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
the temperatm'es tall below fl'eezing.
Shut Off the Main Water Supply
Fox" models fitted with an icemake_; a water supply
kit (containing flexible robing and fitdngs) is
suI_plied with the refrigerator.
The water pressure must be between 138 and
827 kPa on models without a water filter fitted
and between 275 and 827 kPa on models with
a water filter fitted.
Turn Off the water and open a low tap to drain the
water fl'om the pipe.
COral)lying with the plumbing codes, install a
suitable branch fitting (not sui)plied ) to the cold
water suppl>
Extend the branch to a suitable location adjacent
to the refl'igerator when it is located in its operating
position. Terminate the branch with a shutoIt valve
(not SUl)plied ) .
IlV]PORTANT" The shut-off wdve should be accessible
(such as in an ac!jacent cupboard, as close to the
wall as possible) when the refl'igerator is in its
normal operating position.
If wmr water SUl)ply pressm'e is higher than 690 kPa
dm'ing the day (if so, it mav reach higher levels at
night), install a suitable Pressm'e limiting wflve
(not supplied), after the shut-ott valve, inaking sure
the "flow arrows" on the body of the device lace the
same direction as the water flow.
If necessary, assemble a suitable fitting (not
SUl)plied ) to the Ul>stream end of the shutott valve
(or pressm'e limiting wdve) fin" attachment of the
