To avoid property damage, protect soft vinyl or other
flooring with cardboard, rugs, or other protective
materials when moving refrigerator. Make sure
stabilizing leg is raised before moving refrigerator.
Raise stabilizing leg by turning counterclockwise.
Observe the following to avoid property damage:
• Confirm water pressure to water valve is between
1.37and 6.89 bar.
• Copper supply tubing must be routed where the
temperature is 55°F (13°C) or higher to prevent
freeze-ups.
• Start adaptor fitting and nuts by hand to avoid cross
threading. Tighten adaptor fitting and nuts with
pliers and wrenches. Do not overtighten.
• Check for water leaks and correct if necessary
before returning refrigerator to normal location, and
24 hours after connecting.
Important
• Before connecting water supply, contact a plumber to
connect copper tubing to household plumbing in
compliance with local codes and ordinances.
• DO NOT use self-piercing type saddle valves! Both
reduce water flow, develop sediment build-up more
rapidly, and may cause leaks if repair is attempted.
The correct type of shut-off valve requires a hole to be
drilled on top or side (not bottom of horizontal pipe) of
water supply pipe prior to valve attachment.
Materials Required
1
/ " O.D. (6 mm) flexible copper tubing. Length of copper
4
tubing must reach from water supply connection to water
valve inlet port on back of refrigerator plus an additional
8 ft. (2 m) of tubing for a service loop. A service loop will
allow refrigerator to be pulled away from the wall without
disconnecting tubing.
