INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (icemaker & dispenser models)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
If the water supply to the refrigerator is from
a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System
AND the refrigerator also has a water filter, use
the refrigerator's filter bypass plug . Using the
refrigerator's water filtration cartridge in conjunction
with the RO filter can result in hollow ice cubes and
slower water flow from the water dispenser .
This water line installation is not warranted by
the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer . 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 lead to water leakage or flooding . Call a
qualified plumber to correct water hammer before
installing the water supply line to the refrigerator .
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook
up the water line to the hot water line .
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is
in the OFF position .
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing .
When using any electrical device (such as a power
drill) during installation, be sure the device is double
insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the
hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered .
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements .

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

kit, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator
to the water supply . If using copper, 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 . Be sure there
is sufficient extra tubing to allow the refrigerator to
move out from the wall after installation .
SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits are
available in the following lengths:
6' (1 .8 m) – WX08X10006
15' (4 .6 m) – WX08X10015
25' (7 .6 m) – WX08X10025
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only .
A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation . The water pressure must be
between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals) .
