IMPORTANT
After connecting the water supply, refer to
“How to Prime the Water Supply System”
for important information about priming an
empty water supply system.
Your refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water
filter, a water valve, and a water tank.
To ensure that your water dispenser
works properly, this system must be
completely filled with water when your
refrigerator is first connected to the
household water supply line.
If you use stainless steel tubing - The
nut and ferrule are already assembled on
the tubing. Slide compression nut onto
valve inlet and finger tighten compression
nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn
with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten.
See Figure 2.
5. With steel clamp and screw, secure
water supply line (copper tubing only) to
rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
6. Coil excess water supply line (copper
tubing only), about 2½ turns, behind
refrigerator as shown and arrange coils
so they do not vibrate or wear against
any other surface.
7. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve
and tighten any connections that leak.
8. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power
source.
9. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal
arm (side mounted) or set the ice
maker’s On/Off power switch to the “I”
position (rear mounted).
10. Test system before use. Check for leaks
again after 24 hours.
