ENGLISH

Connecting the Water Line

Before Beginning

This water line installation is not covered by the

refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions

carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water

damage.

If necessary, call a qualied plumber to correct water

hammer before installing the water supply line to

the refrigerator. Water banging in the pipes, or water

hammer in residential plumbing can cause damage

to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or

ooding.

• Turn the icemaker OFF if the refrigerator will be

used before the water line is connected.

• Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where

the ambient temperatures fall below freezing.

WARNING

• Connect to potable water supply only.

CAUTION

• To prevent burns and product damage, only

connect the refrigerator water line to a cold water

supply.

• Wear eye protection during installation to prevent

injury.

Water Pressure

The water pressure must be 20-120 psi or

138-827 kPa or 1.4-8.4 kgf/cm² on models without a

water lter and 40-120 psi or 276-827kPa or 2.8-8.4

kgf/cm² on models with a water lter.

If a reverse osmosis water ltration system is

connected to your cold water supply, this waterline

installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty.

Follow the instructions carefully to minimize the risk

of expensive water damage.

If a reverse osmosis water ltration system is

connected to your cold water supply, the water

pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs

to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276-414 kPa or

2.8-4.2 kgf/cm², less than 2.0-3.0 sec. to ll a cup of 7

oz or 198 cc capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis

system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/ cm

2

(takes more than 4 seconds to ll a cup of 7 oz or

198 cc capacity):

• Check to see if the sediment lter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if

necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis

system to rell after heavy usage.

• If the water pressure remains low, call a licensed,

qualied 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 sufcient 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.

• 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 ared tting

at the end, purchase an adapter (available at

plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line

to the refrigerator OR cut off the ared tting with a

tube cutter and then use a compression tting.

20 INSTALLATION

• 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.

4

Fasten the shutoff valve.

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe

with the pipe clamp.
