Important Facts About Your Dispensers

• Do not add ice from trays or bags to the door icemaker bucket. It may not crush or dispense.
• Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute remove the ice bucket. poke it through with a wooden spoon.
• Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the door icemaker bin. Cans. bottles or food packages in the storage drawer may cause the icemaker or auger. to jam
• To keep dispensed ice from missing the glass. put the glass close to. but not touching. the dispenser opening.
• Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though you selected CUBED ICE. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher.
• After crushed ice is dispensed. some water may drip from the chute.
• Sometimes a small mound of frost will form on the door in the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice repeatedly.

Water Filter - MWF

Appliance Dimensions

Installing the Water Line

CONNECTING TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE (icemaker models only)

A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. If there is not a cold water supply. you will need to provide one. See Installing the Water Line section.

NOTES:

• Before making the connection to the refrigerator. be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter. we recommend installing one if your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the refrigerator's water valve. Install it in the water line near the refrigerator. If using SmartConnect
• Refrigerator Tubing Kit. you will need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to connect the filter. Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.
• Before connecting the water line to the house. purge the house line for at least 2 minutes.

A. If you are using copper tubin, place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing coming from the house cold water supply.

If you are using the SmartConnect tubing. the nuts are already assembled to the tubing.

B. If you are using copper tubing, insert the end of the tubing into the refrigerator connection. at the back of the refrigerator. as far as possible. While holding the tubing. tighten the fitting
If you are using SmartConnect tubing. insert the molded end of the tubing into the refrigerator connection. at the back of the refrigerator. and tighten the compression nut until it is hand tight.
Then tighten one additional turn with a wrench.
Over tightening may cause leaks.

C. Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in position. You may need to pry open the clamp.

One of the illustrations below will look like the connection on your refrigerator.

Connect to potable water supply only.

A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals).

TURN ON THE WATER SUPPLY (icemaker models only)

Turn the water on at the shutoff valve (house water supply) and check for any leaks

PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR

On models with an icemaker. before plugging in the = refrigerator. make sure the icemaker power switch is set to the 0 (off) position. See the grounding information attached to the power cord.

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATERSUPPLY
   Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.
2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
   Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe. make the connection to the top or side. rather than at the bottom. to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.
   
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
   • Drill a 1/4” hole in the water pipe (even if using a self-piercing valve). using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.
   • Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill.
   • Failure to drill a 1/4” hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.
     

FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.

TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.
NOTE: Do not over tighten or you may crush the tubing.

ROUTE THE TUBING
Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.
For plastic tubing from a SmartConnect
Refrigerator Tubing kit. insert the molded end of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten compression nut until it is hand tight. then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. Over tightening may cause leaks.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

FLUSH OUT THE TUBING
Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.
Shut the water off at the water valve after about one quart (1 liter), or 2 minutes. of water has been flushed through the tubing.
