Installingthe WaterLbe
For Australian and New Zealand #Tstallation, read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
IMPORTANT" Government legislation and Codes
in most States and Territories of Australia
require installation bv a licensed plmnber.
The installation illtlSt conlk)illl [0 Australian
Standard AS 3500.1 Water supply.
_'ater hammer (water banging in the pipes)
in house i)lmnbing can cause damage to the
refl'igerator parts and lead to water leakage or
flooding. Call a qualified plmnber to correct
water hammer before installing the water sui)ply
line to the refl'igerator.
To prevent bm'ns and refl'igerator damage, do
not hook up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use wmr refl'igerator before connecting the
water line, make sm'e 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 supply
kit (containing flexible robing and fittings) 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 ftted.
Turn Off the water and open a low tap to drain the
water fl'om the pipe.
Complying with the plmnbing codes, install a
suitable branch fitting (not SUl)plied ) to the cold
water SUl)l)ly.
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 shutoff valve
(not SUl)plied ).
IMPORTANT" 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 pressure 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-off valve, inaking sure
the "fow 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 shutoff valve
(or pressm'e limiting valve) fin" attachment of the
fitting SUl)plied with the water SUl)ply kit.
NOTE: PTFE tape should be used fi)r a water tight
seal when assembling all the above fittings.
Do Bet turn the water sui)ply Ou at this time.
