CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• We recommend copper or stainless
Steel braided tubing for the water
supply line. We do not recommend
using water supply tubing made of
¼" plastic. Plastic tubing greatly
increases the potential for water
leaks, and the manufacturer will not
be responsible for any damage if you
use plastic tubing for the supply line.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing
in areas where temperatures fall
below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning
water softener can damage the ice
maker. If a water softening system
is present, ensure the softener is
maintained and working properly.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
IMPORTANT
Ensure the water supply line connections
comply with all local plumbing codes.
To install the water supply line, you will
need the following:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,
flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips
TM
screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water
line with water pressure between 30
and 100psi.
• A water supply line made of ¼"
(6.4mm) OD, copper or braided
stainless steel tubing. To determine
the length of tubing needed,
measure the distance from the main
water inlet valve at the back of the
refrigerator to the cold water pipe.
Then add approximately 6' (1.8 m.),
so the refrigerator can be moved out
for cleaning.
• A shuto valve to connect the water
supply line to the household water
system. DO NOT use a self-piercing
type shuto valve.
• Do not reuse compression fitting or
use thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule
(sleeve) for connecting a copper
water supply line to the main water
inlet valve.
IMPORTANT
The refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water fil-
ter, and a water valve. To ensure the wa-
ter dispenser works properly, you must
completely fill this system with water
when the refrigerator is first connected
to the household water supply line.
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can
cause death or severe personal injury,
disconnect the refrigerator from
electrical power before connecting a
water supply line to the refrigerator.
NOTE
Check with local building authority for
recommendations on water lines and
associated materials prior to install-
ing refrigerator. Depending on local/
state building codes, we recommend
for homes with existing valves its Smart
