TTACHING THE OPTIONAL ICE
MAKER TO A WATER SUPPLY
Read all directions carefully before you begin.
IMPORTANT:

Cold water supply

is used as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker
needs to be connected to a cold water line with water
pressure limitations of 20-120 psi. If a problem occurs,
call your utility company.

•
It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin
producing ice.
•
If operating the refrigerator before installing the water
connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to pre-
vent operation without water.
•
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
