Special Installation InstructionsforAustralia and New Zealand.
Installingthe WaterLbe
For Australian and New Zealand installation, read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
::_IMPORTANT" Government legislation and Codes
in most States and Territories of Australia
require installation by a licensed i)lmnber.
The installation must conflmn to Australian
Standard AS 3500.1 _,_ater SUl)pl >
_?_.V_ter hammer (water banging in the pipes)
in house plmnbing can cause damage to the
refl'igerator parts and lead to water leakage or
flooding. Call a qualified plmnber to correct
water hammer befl)re installing the water sui)ply
line to the refl'igerator.
i_' To prevent bm'ns and refl'igerator damage, do
not hook up the water line to the hot water line.
i(;]f you rise Votlr refl'igerator before connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker power switch
is set to the 0 position.
_:; Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
the temperatm'es fall below fl'eezing.
Shut Off the Main Water Supply
For models fitted with an icemake_, a water supplF
kit (containing flexible tubing and fittings) is
SUl)plied with the refl'igerator.
The water pressure must be between ] 38 and
827 kPa on models without a water filter ftted,
and between 275 and 827 kPa on models with
a water filter fitted.
Turn Offthe water and open a low tap to drain
the water from the pipe.
Complying with the plmnbing codes, install
a suitable branch fitting (not supl)lied ) to the
cold water SUl)ply:
Extend the branch to a suitable location a(!jacent
to the refl'igerator when it is located in its operating
position. Terminate the branch with a shutoffwflve
(not sui)plied ) .
IMPORTANT"The shutoff wflve 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 sui)ply pressure is higher than 690 kPa
during the day (if so, it may reach higher levels at
night), install a suitable Pressure limiting wflve (not
sui)plied), alter the shutoff wflve, making sm'e the
"flow arrows" on the body of the device lace the
same direction as the water flow.
If necessary, assemble a suitable fitting (not
sui)plied ) to the upstream end of the shutoffwflve
(or pressm'e limiting wflve) fin" attachment of the
fitting sui)plied with the water sui)ply kit.
NOTE'. PTFE tape should be used for a watertight
seal when assembling all the above fittings.
Do Bet turn the water sui)ply On at this time.
