Water฀Pressure
A฀cold฀water฀supply฀with฀water฀pressure฀of฀between฀30฀and฀
120psi฀(207and฀827kPa)฀is฀required฀to฀operate฀the฀water฀
dispenser฀and฀ice฀maker.฀If฀you฀have฀questions฀about฀your฀water฀
pressure,฀call฀a฀licensed,฀qualified฀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฀120psi฀(207and฀
827kPa).
If฀a฀reverse฀osmosis฀water฀filtration฀system฀is฀connected฀to฀your฀
cold฀water฀supply,฀the฀water฀pressure฀to฀the฀reverse฀osmosis฀
system฀needs฀to฀be฀a฀minimum฀of฀40฀to฀60psi฀(276to฀414kPa).
If฀the฀water฀pressure฀to฀the฀reverse฀osmosis฀system฀is฀less฀than฀
40to฀60psi฀(276
to฀414kPa):
Check฀to฀see฀whether฀the฀sediment฀filter฀in฀the฀reverse฀
osmosis฀system฀is฀blocked.฀Replace฀the฀filter฀if฀necessary.
Allow฀the฀storage฀tank฀on฀the฀reverse฀osmosis฀system฀to฀refill฀
after฀heavy฀usage.
If฀you฀have฀questions฀about฀your฀water฀pressure,฀call฀a฀licensed,฀
qualified฀plumber.
Connect the Water Supply
Read฀all฀directions฀before฀you฀begin.
IMPORTANT:฀If฀you฀turn฀the฀refrigerator฀on฀before฀the฀water฀line฀is฀
connected,฀turn฀the฀ice฀maker฀off.
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฀½"฀to฀1¹⁄₄"฀(1.25฀cm฀to฀3.18฀cm)฀vertical฀cold฀water
pipe฀near฀the฀refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
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"
(6.35฀mm)฀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.฀
6.Fasten฀the฀shut-off฀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฀shut-off฀valve฀on฀the฀water฀pipe.฀Coil฀the฀copper฀tubing.
Connect฀to฀Refrigerator
1.Unplug฀refrigerator฀or฀disconnect฀power.
2.Attach฀the฀copper฀tubing฀to฀the฀valve฀inlet฀using฀a
compression฀nut฀and฀sleeve฀as฀shown.฀Tighten฀the
compression฀nut.฀Do฀not฀overtighten.
3.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.
4.Turn฀shut-off฀valve฀on.
5.Check฀for฀leaks.฀Tighten฀any฀connections฀(including
connections฀at฀the฀valve)฀or฀nuts฀that฀leak.
6.The฀ice฀maker฀is฀equipped฀with฀a฀built-in฀water฀strainer.฀If฀your
water฀conditions฀require฀a฀second฀water฀strainer,฀install฀it฀in
the฀¹⁄₄"
฀(6.35mm)฀water฀line฀at฀either฀t
ube฀connection.฀Obtain
a฀water฀strainer฀from฀your฀nearest฀appliance฀dealer.
Complete฀the฀Installation
1.Plug฀into฀a฀grounded฀3฀prong฀outlet.
NOTE:฀Allow฀24฀hours฀to฀produce฀the฀first฀batch฀of฀ice.฀Discard฀
the฀first฀three฀batches฀of฀ice฀produced.฀Allow฀3days฀to฀completely฀
fill฀ice฀container.
