INSTALLATION 19
Connecfincj the Wafer Line
Before You Begin
This wafer line installation is not covered by the
refrigerator warranty. 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 can lead to water leakage or flooding.
Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer
before installing the water supply line to the
refrigerator.
"-Z_ CAUTION
To prevent burns and product damange,
only connect the refrigerator water line to
a cold water supply.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting
the water line, make sure the icemaker power
switch is in the OFF (O) position,
.-_ CAUTION
Do not install the icemaker tubing _n
areas where temperatures fall below
freezing.
Wafer Pressure
A cold water supply. The water pressure must
be between 20 and 120 psi (140 and 830 kPa)
on models without a wafer filter and between 40
and 120 psi (280 and 830kPa) on models with
a water filter
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold wafer supply, this water
line installation is not covered by the refrigerator
warranty. Follow the following instructions
carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water
damage.
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 and 60 psi ( 280 and 420
kPa), less than 2.0~30 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz
(200 cc) capacity
CAUTION
Wear eye protection d uringinstallation
topreventinjury.
If the wafer pressure from the reverse osmosis
system is less than 21 psi (145 kPa) (takes more
than 40 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz (200 cc) capacity):
, Check to see if the sediment filter in
the reverse osmosis system is blocked.
Replace the filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse
usage
• If the issue concerning water pressure
from reverse osmosis remains, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.
All installations must be in accordance
with local plumbing code requirements
What You Will Need
Copper Tubing, 1/4 in. outer diameter, to
connect the refrigerator to the water
supply Be sure both ends of the tubing
are cut square
To determine how _"
much 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
(24m) Be sure there is sufficient extra
tubing (about 8 feet [24 m] coiled into 3
turns of about 10 in [25cm] diameter)
to allow the refrigerator to move out
from the wall after installation
• Power drill.
o 1/2 in. or adjustable
wrench.
Flat blade and Phillips
head screwdrivers,
e Two 1,4 in. outer
diameter compression
nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the
copper tubing to the shutoff valve and
the refrigerator wafer valve
