Connecting the Water Line

Before You Begin

This water line installation is not covered by the

refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions

carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water

damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in

house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator

parts and can lead to water leakage or flooding.

Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer

before installing the water supply line to the

refrigerator.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting

the water line, make sure the icemaker power

button is turned o.

Water Pressure

The water pressure must be between 20 and

120 psi. If the refrigerator is installed in an area

with low water pressure (below 20 psi), you can

install a booster pump to compensate for the low

pressure.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is

connected to your cold water supply, this water

line 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 filtration 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 2-3 sec. to fill 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/

cm² (takes more than 4 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz or

198 cc capacity):

Check to see if the sediment filter in

y

the reverse osmosis system is blocked.

Replace the filter if necessary.

Allow the storage tank on the reverse

y

osmosis system to refill after heavy

usage.

If the issue concerning water pressure

y

from reverse osmosis remains, call a

licensed, qualified plumber.

All installations must be in accordance

y

with local plumbing code requirements.

What You Will Need

Copper Tubing,

y

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

y

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.

y

½ in. or adjustable

y

wrench.

Flat blade and Phillips

y

head screwdrivers.

Two ¼ in. outer

y

diameter compression

nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)

to connect the

copper tubing to the shutoff valve and

the refrigerator water valve.

CAUTION

Do not install the icemaker tubing in

areas where temperatures fall below

freezing.

CAUTION

To prevent burns and product damage,

only connect the refrigerator water line to

a cold water supply.

INSTALLATION 1

8

ENGLISH

NOTE

A self piercing saddle type water valve

should not be used.

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.

If your existing copper water line has

y

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

y

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.

Water Line Installation Instructions

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.

WARNING

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.

19 INSTALLATION

NOTE

Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing

(about 8 feet coiled into 3 turns of

about 10 in. diameter) to allow the

refrigerator to move out from the wall

after installation.

4

FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water

pipe with the pipe clamp.
