NOTE: Your freezer dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm)

saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and plastic tubing. Before

purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your

local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆"

(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more

easily.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and

120 psi (207-827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser

and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure,

see “Troubleshooting” or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your

cold water supply, the water pressure to the system needs to be

a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa), a booster pump can be inserted into

the small tubing that goes from the cold water line to the reverse

osmosis system.

If the water dispenser is still not dispensing water properly:

■ 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 cartridge, it may further

reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a

reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge.

See “Water Filtration System.”

If you have questions about your water pressure, refer to

“Troubleshooting” or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Water Supply Connection

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

3. Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (12.7 mm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water

pipe near the freezer.

IMPORTANT:

■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

■ Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the

pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from

the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of plastic tubing you need. Measure

from the connection on the lower left rear of freezer to the

water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄"

(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) plastic tubing. Be sure

both ends of plastic tubing are cut square.

5. Using a grounded drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold

water pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm)

drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the

pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp

screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight

seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the plastic tubing.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the

plastic 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.

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. Coil the

plastic tubing.

Connect to Freezer

1. Attach the plastic tube to the valve inlet using a compression

nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do

not overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the

freezer to secure the tubing to the freezer as shown. This will

help prevent damage to the tubing when the freezer is

pushed back against the wall.

2. Turn shutoff valve ON. Check for leaks. Tighten any

connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that

leak.

3. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If

your water conditions require a second water strainer, install

it in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection.

Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.

4. Plug freezer into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
