BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This water 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 hamme
CAUTION
: To prevent burns and product damage,
only connect the refrigerator water line to a cold water
supply.
IMPORTANT:
If you use your refrigerator before
connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker is
turned OFF at the control panel.
CAUTION
: Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas
where temperatures fall below freezing.
WATER PRESSURE
The water pressure must be from 30 to 125 psi or 207-862
kPa or 2.1-8.8 kgf/cm

. If the refrigerator is installed in
an area with low water pressure “below 30 psi”, you can
install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
WATER SUPPLY KIT
