BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Disconnect electrical supply to refrigerator before
installing,
• Electrical ddll must be grounded before drilling
holes in water lineo
Failure to do so could result in electrical shock,
serious injury, or death_
. ff the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse
Osmosis Water Filtration System and the refrigerator is
equipped with a built-in filtration system, it is not
necessary to use the refrigerator's water filter,rUse the
refrigerator's filter bypass plugo Using the refrigerator's
water filtration cartridge in conjunction with the RO
filter can result in hollow ice cubes and slower water
flow from the water dispenser.
• Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk
of expensive water damage,
• Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house
plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding,. Call a qualified
plumber to correct water hammer before installing the
water supply line to the refrigerator,
• To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up
the water line to the hot water line.
• If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water
line, make sure the icemaker feeler arm is kept in the
STOP (up) pcsition.
• DO NOT install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
• When using any electrical device (such as a power
drill) during installation, be sure the device is insulated
or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric
shock.
• All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Cold water supply. The water pressure must be
between 20 and 120 pos.L
• Power drill.
• A water supply kit containing the following items can
be purchased from your Sears store or Sears
Service Center,,
Copper tubing, 1/4 cuter diameter to connect the
refrigerator to the water supply, Be sure both ends of
the tubing are cut square.
To determine how much copper tubing you need:
Measure the distance from the water valve on the back
of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add 8
feet (244 cm)o Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing
[about 8 feet (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about I0
inches (25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to
move out from the wall after installation°
DO NOT use 1/4 outer diameter plastic tubing or
plastic fittings,
Two 1]4 outer diameter compression nuts and
2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect the copper tubing to
the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.
Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water iineoThe
shutoff vaIve should have a water inlet with a minimum
inside diameter of 5/32 at the point of connection to
the COLD WATER LINEo DO NOT use self-piercing
3/16 diameter saddle valves° Both may reduce water
flow and clog easity. Saddle-type shutoff valves are
included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing,
make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your
local plumbing codes..
NOTE: If your existing water line has a flared fitting at
the end, you will need an adapter (available at
plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to
the refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting with
a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.
