IMPORTANT:
• Allinstallations
must meet local plumbing
code r equirements.
• Do
not use a piercing-type
or _6"
(4.76
ram) 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:
•
Plumbing
shall be installed
in accordance
with
the International
Plumbing
Code and any
local
codes
and ordinances.
The gray 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.
If PEX tubing
is used instead
of copper,
we recommend
the following
part
numbers:
W10505928RP
(7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed
PEX),
8212547RP
(5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or
W10267701RP
(25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).
•
Install
tubing
only in areas where
temperatures
will remain
above
freezing.
•
If you turn on the refrigerator
before
the water
line is connected,
turn
off the ice maker
to avoid
excessive
noise or damage
to the water
valve.

5.
Find a 1/2" to 11/4" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical
cold
water
pipe
near
the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
•
Make
sure it is a cold water
pipe.
•
Horizontal
pipe will work,
but the following
procedure
must be
followed:
Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom.
This will
help keep water
away
from
the drill.
This also keeps normal
sediment
from
collecting
in the valve.
Determine
the length
of copper
tubing
you need.
Measure
from
the
connection
on the lower
right
rear of the refrigerator
to the water
pipe.
Add
7 ft (2.1 m) to allow
for cleaning.
Use 1/4" (6.35
mm) O.D.
(outside
diameter)
copper
tubing.
Be sure both
ends of copper
tubing
are cut
sq ua re.
Using a cordless
drill,
drill a 1/4" hole in the cold
water
pipe
you have
selected.

Fasten the shutoff
valve
to the cold water
pipe with
the pipe
clamp.
Be
sure the outlet
end is solidly
in the 1/4" drilled
hole in the water
pipe
and that the washer
is under
the pipe
clamp.
Tighten
the packing
nut.
Tighten
the pipe
clamp
screws
slowly
and evenly
so the washer
makes
a watertight
seal.
Do not overtighten.
7.
Slip the compression
sleeve and compression
nut on the copper
tubing
as shown.
Insert the end of the tubing
into the outlet
end squarely
as
far as it will go. Screw compression
nut onto
outlet
end with adjustable
wrench.
Do not overtighten
or you may crush
the copper
tubing.
8.
Place the free end of the tubing
in a container
or sink, and turn ON the
main water
supply.
Flush the tubing
until water
is clear.
Turn OFF the
shutoff
valve
on the water
pipe.
Connect
to Refrigerator
Depending
on your
model,
the water
line may
come
down
from the top or
up from
the bottom.
Follow
the connection
instructions
for your
model.
Style 1
1.
Remove
plastic
cap
from water
valve
inlet port. Attach
the copper
tube
to the valve
inlet
using a compression
nut and sleeve
as shown.
Tighten
the compression
nut. Do not overtighten.
Confirm
copper
tubing
is secure
by pulling
on copper
tubing.

long enough
to
clear
line of water.
