only your refrigerator be provided.
Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch.

or Use & Care Guide.

Water supply requirements

IMPORTANT: All installations must meet local plumbing code
requirements.
Water pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 22 and 120
psi (147 and 834 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser
and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualified plumber.
■ If your refrigerator has a water dispenser: After installation is
complete, use the water dispenser to check the water
pressure.
■
With the water filter removed, dispense 1cup (237 ml) of
water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less,
the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum
requirement.
■ If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of water,
the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than
recommended. See "Problem solver" for suggestions.

Connecting water supply

Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■
Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the
international Plumbing Code and any local codes and
ordinances.
■ The white water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which
is used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX
(cross-linked polyethylene) tube. Copper and PEX tubing
connections from the household water line to the refrigerator
are acceptable, and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your
ice or water. Check for leaks.
■ Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain
above freezing.
■ Ensure the pipes length is not beyond 8 meter and be careful
not to kink together.
