  IMPORTANT: 

Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need

•

Basic tools:

 adjustable wrench, flat blade screwdriver, and Phillips

TM

 screwdriver.

• Access to a household 

cold water line

 with water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.

• A water supply line made of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing

needed, you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your

cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning.

• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. 

DO NOT

 use a self-piercing type

shutoff valve.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

NOTE:

 Water line kit number 5303917950, available from your appliance dealer at additional cost, contains 25

feet (7.6 meters) of 1/4 inch OD copper tubing, a saddle type shutoff valve (nonpiercing), (2) 1/4 inch brass

compression nuts, (2) ferrules/sleeves, and instructions for installing a water supply line.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve

1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power supply.
2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water

supply and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water

supply at shutoff valve.

3. Unscrew plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
4. Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve), onto water  supply

line, as shown.

5. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (1/4

inch). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten

compression nut onto valve.Tighten another half turn with a wrench;

DO NOT

 over tighten.

6. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel

of refrigerator at location as shown.

7. Coil excess water supply line (about 2-1/2 turns) behind

refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or

wear against any other surface.

8. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any

connections that leak.

9. Reconnect refrigerator to electric power supply.
10.To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm. (See ice maker front cover for on/off position of arm.)

IMPORTANT

: It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice. Air in new plumbing

lines may cause ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. New plumbing may cause

ice to be discolored or have poor flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.

Connecting Ice Maker to Water Supply

 

   To Avoid Property Damage:

• Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of 

1/4

 inch plastic is not

recommended since it greatly increases the potential for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsible for any

damage if plastic tubing is used for supply line.

•

DO NOT

 install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

• Connect the ice maker to a potable water source that is not tied into a water softening system. Chemicals from the

softener may damage the ice maker, causing it to malfunction.

   To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator

from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.
