INSTALLATION

ENGLISH



If your existing copper water line

has a flared fitting at the end, you

will need an

adapter

(available at

plumbing supply stores) to connect

the water line

to the

refrigerator OR

you can cut off

the flared fitting with a tube cutter

and then use a compression fitting.



Shutoff valve to connect to the cold

water line.

The shutoff valve should

have a water inlet with a minimum

inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the

point of connection to the COLD

WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff

valves are included in many water

supply kits.

Before

purchasing,

make sure

a saddle-
type valve complies with your local
plumbing codes.

NOTE

A self-piercing saddle type water valve

should not be used.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard:

When using any electrical device (such as a

power drill) during installation, be sure the

device is battery powered, double insulated

or grounded in a manner that will prevent the

hazard of electric shock.
