Attaching the ice maker to a water supply

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

Electrlcal Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical supply to refrigerator before

installing.

Electrical drill must be grounded before drilling

holes in water line.

Failure to do so could result in death, electrical

shock, or serious injury.

IMPORTANT:

Use copper tubing only and check for leaks.

Install ice maker tubing in areas where temperatures

are above freezing.

Tools required:

Standard screwdriver

‘&-inch and X-inch open-end wrenches or

two adjustable wrenches

X-inch nut driver

X-inch drill bit

Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE:

Your appliance dealer has a kit available with a

X-inch saddle type shut-off valve, a union, and copper

tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle type

valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not

use piercing type or %-inch saddle valve which

reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Cold water supply

The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer

which is used as a water pressure regulator. The ice

maker needs to be connected to a cold water line with

water pressure limitations of 20-120 psi. If a problem

occurs, call your utility company.

IMPORTANT:

It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to

begin producing ice.

If operating the refrigerator before installing the water

connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to

prevent operation without water.

All installations must be in accordance with local

plumbing code requirements.

INSTALLATION IS NOT WARRANTED

BY REFRIGERATOR OR ICE MAKER

MANUFACTURER.
