IMPORTANT:
• If operating the refrigerator before installing the water
connection, turn ice maker 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 ice maker to begin
producing ice.
Tools required:
• Standard screwdriver
• 7A6in. and 1/2in. open-end wrenches or two adjustable
wrenches
• ¼in. nut driver
• ¼in. drill bit
• Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a
¼ in. (6.35 mm) 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 3A6in. (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow
and clogs more easily.
Cold water supply
The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is used
as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to be
connected to a cold water line with water pressure between 30
and 120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your utility company.
Connecting to water line:
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
