Gather therequired tools andparts before s tarting i nstallation.
Read a ndfollow theinstructions provided with anytools listed
here.
TOOLS NEEDED:
•
Flat-blade screwdriver
•
¼" Nut driver
•
7/le" and 1/2"Open-end or two
•
¼" Drill bit
adjustable wrenches
•
Cordless drill
IM PORTANT:
•
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
•
Do not use a piercing-type
or ¾e" (4.76 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
•
Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing
only in areas where the household temperatures will remain
above freezing.
•
For models with water filters, the disposable water filter
should be replaced at least every 6 months.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and
120 psi (241 and 827 kPa)is required to operate the water
dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water
pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Reverse
Osmosis
Water Supply
IMPORTANT:
The pressure of the water supply coming out of a
reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the
refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and
827 kPa).
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 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
•
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill
after heavy usage.
If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the
water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse
osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water Filtration
System."
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker OFE
Connect 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.
3. Locate a 1/2"to 11/4"(12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IM PORTANT:
•
Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
•
Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
