Water connection instruction guide

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

Connecting

the refrigerator

to a water source

Connect to potable water supply only.

Warning

If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn the icemaker
to the OFF position to prevent operation without water.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

Use copper tubing and check for leaks.

Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

It may take up to 24 hours for your icemaker to begin producing ice.

IMPORTANT

The icemaker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water
pressure regulator.

The icemaker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure

Tools required

Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4-inch saddle-type shut-off valve,
a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16-inch
saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
