Optional Ice Maker
Kit Installed
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can
cause death or severe personal injury,
disconnect the refrigerator from elec-
trical power before connecting a water
supply line to the refrigerator.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Use stainless steel braided tubing
for the water supply line. Do not
use water supply tubing made of
¼ in. plastic. Plastic tubing greatly
increases the potential for water
leaks, and the manufacturer will not
be responsible for any damage if you
use plastic tubing for the supply line.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing
in areas where temperatures fall
below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning
softener can damage the ice maker.
If the ice maker is connected to soft
water, ensure that the softener is
maintained and working properly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line
connections comply with all local
plumbing codes.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

NOTE
Check with your local building author-
ity for recommendations on water
lines and associated materials prior
to installing your new refrigerator.
Depending on your local/state build-
ing codes, for homes with existing
valves use Smart Choice
kit 5304437642 (with a 6 ft. Stain-
less Steel Water Line) and for homes
without an existing valve, use Smart
Choice
water line kit 5304493869
®
(with a 6' Polyline Waterline). For more
information call (833) 337-4006.
NOTE
These instructions do not cover aftermar-
ket ice maker installation. Use instruc-
tions in the ice maker kit (IM117000).
Before Installing The Water Supply
Line, You Will Need:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,
flat-blade screwdriver, and
Phillips screwdriver
TM
• Access to a household cold water
line with water pressure between 30
and 100 psi.
• A water supply line made of ¼ in.
(6.4 mm) OD, copper or stain-
less steel tubing. To determine the
length of tubing needed, measure
the distance from the ice maker inlet
valve at the back of the refrigerator
to your cold water pipe. Then add
approximately 7 ft (2.1 m.), so the
refrigerator can be moved out for
cleaning (as shown).
• A shutoff valve to connect the water
supply line to your household water
system. DO NOT use a self-piercing
type shutoff valve.
• Do not reuse compression fitting or
use thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule
(sleeve) for connecting a copper
water supply line to the ice maker
inlet valve.
