WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death
or severe personal injury, disconnect the
refrigerator from electrical power before con-
necting a water supply line to the refrigerator.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Stainless Steel braided tubing is recom-
mended for the water supply line. Water
supply tubing made of ¼ in. plastic is not
recommended to be used. Plastic tubing
greatly increases the potential for water
leaks, and the manufacturer will not be
responsible for any damage if plastic tub-
ing is used for the supply line.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas
where temperatures fall below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener
can damage the ice maker. If the ice
maker is connected to soft water, ensure
that the softener is maintained and work-
ing properly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line connec-
tions comply with all local plumbing codes.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line,
You Will Need:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, at-blade
screwdriver, and Phillips screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line with
water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
• A water supply line made of stainless steel
tubing. To determine the length of tubing
needed, measure the distance from the
ice maker inlet valve at the back of the
refrigerator to your cold water pipe, so the
refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning.
• A shuto valve to connect the water supply
line to your household water system. DO
NOT use a self-piercing type shuto valve.
• Do not reuse compression tting or use
thread seal tape.
