Connecting the Water Line

This section is applied only to models with plumbed
water or ice dispenser.
Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure between
138 kPa and 827 kPa (1.4-8.4 kgf/cm²) is required to
operate the water dispenser. If the refrigerator is
installed in an area with low water pressure (below
138 kPa), 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, the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to
be a minimum of 138 kPa to 827 kPa (1.4-8.4 kgf/
cm²)
WARNING
• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
work on connecting the water line. Failure to do
so may cause electric shock.
• Only connect the water line to a cold water
supply. Failure to do so may cause the water
filter to malfunction. Water hammer (water
banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can
cause damage to appliance parts and can lead to
water leakage or flooding.
• Connect to potable water supply only.
• Connecting the water line must only be installed
by a qualified plumber and in accordance with
local legislation and regulations governing
water quality.
NOTE
• This water line installation is not covered by the
appliance warranty.

Unscrew the metal threaded collar nut at the
back of the appliance and place it over one end
of the water tube.
Firmly push the water tube onto the water inlet
valve and tighten up the collar nut.
Turn on the water supply and switch on the
appliance. Carefully check all fittings for
possible leaks due to poorly fitted hoses.
Press and hold the Water Filter button for
three seconds. The new water filter has been
activated.
Place a cup under the water dispenser to verify
that water is flowing through the appliance.
Check the connecting tube and joints for leaks
once again.
