Connecting the Water Line

This feature is only available on some models.
Water Supply Requirements
Connect the appliance to a cold water supply with a
maximum inlet water pressure not exceeding 1.0
MPa. A water pressure between 138kPa and
827kPa is recommended for the optimal operation
of 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.
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
