In order for the ice maker to operate properly. a water line is required.
You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that.
The water connection must be made by a qualified plumber.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 30psi/207KPa). you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
- the maximum inlet water pressure is 101.5psi/700kPa;
- the minimum inlet water pressure is 30psi/207kPa.
Important: Operation outside the water pressure range may cause malfunction and severe. amaging water leaks.
Note :!f the water pressure is less than what is required, ice cubes could be hollow or irregularly shaped.
(1)Connect Water Line to Household Water
Following are two methods of connecting to your household water supply. Use the instructions specific to your installation.
IMPORTANT: Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.
You will need the following tools(not supplied).
Phillips screwdriver
Flat-blade screwdriver
1/2" or adjustable wrench
Drill and 1/4" drill bit
Quarter-turn shutoff valve 1 PCS
1/4" shutoff valve with saddle clamp 1 PCS
Ferrule (sleeve) 2 PCS
1/4" compression nut 2 PCS
1/4" waterline 1 PCS
Method 1: Quarter-turn Shutoff Valve
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
1. Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the equivalent served by a household supply line.
NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator. a minimum 1/2" household supply line is recommended.
2. Using the ferrule (sleeve) and 1/4" compression nut. connect the 1/4" water line to the quarter-turn shutoff valve.
NOTE: Do not overtighten.
3. Place the free end of the 1/4" water line into an empty container or sink.
4. Turn on main water supply and open quarter-turn shutoff valve to flush the 1/4" water line of any contaminants. Run water until it is clear.
Method 2: Shutoff Valve With Saddle clamp
NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs easier.
1. Find a 1/2" to 11/4" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical water inlet near the refrigerator
IMPORTANT:
- Make sure it is a cold household supply line.
- Horizontal pipe will work. but the following procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe. not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
2. Determine the length of 1/4" water line you need. Measure from the connection on the rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m)to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) water line
3. Using acordless drill. drill a 1/4" hole in the household supply line you have selected.
4. Fasten the 1/4"shutoff valve to the household supply line with the saddle clamp.Be sure the outlet solidly in the end is 1/4" drilled hole in the household supply line and that the washer is under the saddle clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the saddle clamp screws slowly and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.
5. Slip the ferrule(sleeve) and 1/4" compression nut on the 1/4" water line as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw 1/4" compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overrighten or you may crush the 1/4" waterline.
6. Place the free end of the 1/4" water line into an empty container or sink.
7. Turn on main water supply and open shutoff valve to flush the 1/4" water line of any contaminants. Run water until it is clear.
(2) Connect Water Line to Refrigerator
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water is connected. turn off the ice maker.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Close shutoff valve.
3. Thread a 1/4" compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the free end of the 1/4" water line.
4. Insert the free end of the 1/4" water line into the brass fitting attached to the water inlet on the back of the refrigerator.
5. Slide the 1/4" compression nut over the ferrule (sleeve) and screw the 1/4" compression nut onto the brass ftting.
6. Confrm 1/4" water line is secure by gently pulling on it.
7. Turn on water supply and check for leaks. Correct any leaks.
