■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing
only in areas where the household temperatures will remain
above freezing.
■ For models with water lters, the disposable water lter
should be replaced at least every 6 months.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 120
psi (241 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser
and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualied plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of
a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the
refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827
kPa).
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 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
■ Check to see whether 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 rell
after heavy usage.
■ If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce
the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse
osmosis system. Remove the water lter. See “Water Filtration
System.”

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Find a 1/2" to 1¹⁄
4
" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
■ 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.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing 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) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of
copper tubing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" hole in the cold water pipe
you have selected.
6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4" drilled hole
in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly
and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not
overtighten.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten or
you may crush the copper tubing.
8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and
turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is
clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.
Connect to Refrigerator
Depending on your model, the water line may come down from
the top or up from the bottom. Follow the connection instructions
for your model.
Style 1
1. Remove the plastic cap from water supply connection. Place
brass nut and compression sleeve on copper tube end as
shown.
2. Place end of the copper tubing into the plastic water valve
supply line. Slide the brass nut over the sleeve and screw the
nut into supply line.
3. Using an adjustable wrench, hold the nut on the plastic water
line to keep it from moving. Then, with a second wrench turn
the nut on the copper tubing counterclockwise to completely
tighten. Do not overtighten.
4. Check connection by pulling on the copper tubing.

Ice Production Rate
■ Allow 24 hours to produce the rst batch of ice. Discard the
rst three batches of ice produced.
■ The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches
of ice in a 24-hour period.
■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
NOTE: Setting the freezer to a colder temperature may make
some foods, such as ice cream, harder.
Remember
■ The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of
the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice
maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals
(such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead
to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be
avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly
and is well maintained.
■ Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This
can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.
■ Do not store anything in the ice storage bin.
Water and Ice Dispensers
IMPORTANT:
■ After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water lter, ush the water system. Use a sturdy container
to depress and hold the water dispenser pad for 5 seconds,
then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to
ow. Once water begins to ow, continue depressing and
releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off)
until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will ush
air from the lter and water dispensing system, and prepare
the water lter for use. Additional ushing may be required in
some households. As air is cleared from the system, water
may spurt out of the dispenser.
■ Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
water.
■ Allow 24 hours to produce the rst batch of ice. Discard the
rst three batches of ice produced.
■ The dispensing system will not operate when the refrigerator
door is open.
