licensed, qualified plumber.

• All installations must be in accordance with local

plumbing code requirements.

Supplies Needed

• Copper or PEX Tubing, ¼ in. outer diameter, to

connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be

sure both ends of the tubing are cut square. To

determine how much tubing you need, measure

the distance from the water valve on the back of

the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then,

add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient

extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3

turns of about 10 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow

the refrigerator to move out from the wall after

installation.

• Power drill.

• ½ in. or adjustable wrench.

• Flat-blade and Phillips-head screwdrivers.

ENGLISH

13

INSTALLATION

• Two ¼ in. outer diameter compression nuts

and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper

tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator

water valve.

• If your existing copper water line has a flared

fitting at the end, purchase an adapter (available

at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water

line to the refrigerator OR cut off the flared fitting

with a tube cutter and then use a compression

fitting.

• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.

The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with

a minimum inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the

point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE.

Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many

water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure

a saddle-type valve complies with your local

plumbing codes.

NOTE

• A self-piercing saddle type water valve should

not be used.

Water Line Installation Instructions

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard:

• When using any electrical device (such as

a power drill) during installation, be sure the

device is battery-powered, double-insulated

or grounded in a manner that will prevent the

hazard of electric shock.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently

used drinking water line.

1

Shut off the main water supply.

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the

pressure on the line.

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 ¼ in. hole in the water pipe using a

sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from

drilling the hole in the pipe. Be careful not to

allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to

drill a ¼ in. hole may result in reduced ice

production or smaller cubes.

NOTE

• The hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing.

Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing

(NDA tubing #49595 or #49599) or Cross Link

Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

• Do not keep the power turned on to the

icemaker if the water line is not connected.

Doing so can damage the icemaker.

Preparing for Vacation

Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and

shut off the water supply to the appliance.

If the ambient temperature will drop below

freezing, have a qualified technician drain the

water supply system to prevent serious property

damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water

lines or connections.

NOTE

• The ice bin should be emptied any time the

power switch is turned to the OFF (O) position.

Storing Food

CAUTION

• Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into

door bins. Doing so may cause damage

to the bin or personal injury if items are

removed with excessive force.

• Do not store glass containers in the freezer.

Contents may expand when frozen, break

the container and cause injury.

NOTE

• If you are leaving home for a short period, like a

short vacation, the refrigerator should be left on.

Refrigerated foods that are able to be frozen will

stay preserved longer if stored in the freezer.

• If you are leaving the refrigerator turned off for

an extended period, remove all food and unplug

the power cord. Clean the interior, and leave the

doors open to prevent fungi from growing in the

refrigerator.

• Do not store food with high moisture content

towards the top of the refrigerator. The moisture

could come in direct contact with the cold air

and freeze.

• Wash food before storing it in the refrigerator.

Vegetables should be washed, and food

packaging should be wiped down to prevent

adjacent foods from being contaminated.

• If the refrigerator is kept in a hot and humid

place, frequent opening of the door or storing a

lot of vegetables in the refrigerator may cause

condensation to form. Wipe off the condensation

with a clean cloth or a paper towel.

• If the refrigerator doors are opened or closed too

often, warm air may penetrate the refrigerator

and raise its temperature. This can increase the

running costs of the unit.
