BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ilecommended copper water supply kits are _4UXSX2,
WXSX3 or WXSX4, depending on the amount of
tubing you need. Approved plastic water sui)ply lines
are refrigerator tubing kits _X08X10002,
WX08X10006, WX08X10015 and WX08X10025.
When connecting yore" refl'igerator to a reverse
osmosis water system, follow the mamlthcturer's
recoi_lHleilda tioils.
This water line installation is not warranted bv the
refl'igerator or icemaker manufi_cturer. Follow these
instructions careflfllv to minimize the risk of expensive
water damage.
_4'ater 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
i)lmnber to correct water hammer before installing
the water supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent bm'ns and product damage, do not hook
up the water line to the hot water line,
If w)u use your refl'igerator heft)re connecting the
water line, make sm'e 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
temperatm'es tall below fl'eezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Copper or approved plastic refrigerator tubing Mt,
1/4" outer diameter to connect the refl'igerator
to the water supply: 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 fl'om the water wflve on the back of the
refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8'
(2.4 m). Be sm'e there is sufficient extra tubing
(about 8' [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10"
[25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move
out from the wall alter installation.
Approved plastic refl'igerator tubing kits are available
in the ti)llowing lengths:
2' (0.6 m) - _X08X10002
6' (1.8 m) - X,\3X08X10006
15' (4.6 m) - _4UX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) - X,\3X08X10025
Be sure that the kit w)u select allows at least 8' (2.4 m)
as described above.
NOTE: The tufty approved plastic tubing is that
supplied in the refrigerator tubing kits listed above.
Do not use m_y other plastic water supply line because
the line is under pressure at all thnes. Certain types
of plastic will crack or rupture with age and cause
water damage to your home.
