B INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ilecommended coi)per water supply kits are _._TXSX2,
WXSX3 or WXSX4, depending on the amom_t of
tubing you need. Approved plastic water supply lines
are refrigerator tubing kits WX08X10002,
WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X10025.
When connecting your refl'igerator to a reverse
osmosis water system, follow the mamffactm'er's
I'e COIIlIIl en da tions.
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refl'igerator or icemaker mamdhctm'er. Follow these
instructions carefldlv to minimize the risk of expensive
water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house
i_lmnbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified
plmnber to correct water hammer bet)re installing
the water supply line to the refl'igerator.
To prevent bm'ns and product damage, do not hook
up the water line to the hot water line.
If wm use yoHr refrigerator 1)eiore connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is
in the 0(off} position (on power switch models) or the
teeler arm is in the STOP (up) position (on feeler arm
models).
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatures tall below fl'eezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power
drill) during installation, be sure the device is double
insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the
hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered.
All installations must be in accordance with local
i_lmnbing code requirements.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
•Copper or approved plastic refrigerator tubing kit,
1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator
to the water sui)ply. If using COl)per, be sm'e both
ends of the tubing are cut square.
To determine how much tubing you need: measure
the distance ti'om the water wflve on the back of the
refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8'
(2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing
(about 8' [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about l 0"
[25 cm] diameter) to allow the reti'igerator to move
out from the wall atter installation.
Approved plastic refl'igerator tubing kits are available
in the fl}llowing lengths:
2' (0.6 m) - WX08X10002
6' (1.8 m) - X,\TX08X10006
15' (4.6 m) - WX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) - X,\3X08X10025
Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8' (2.4 m)
as described above.
NOTE: The tufty approved plastic tubing is that
supplied in the refrigerator tubing Mts listed above.
Do not use m_y other plastic water supply line because
the line is raider pressure at all thnes. Certain types
of plastic will crack or rupture with age and cause
water damage to your home.
