Connect to Water Line
IMPORTANT: If you have turned the refrigerator on before the
water was connected, turn off the ice maker.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long
enough to reduce water pressure in the water line.
3. Use a 3/4-14" shut-off valve or equivalent. The refrigerator is
provided with a household supply line with the installation kit
that connects to the shut-off valve and to the refrigerator.
NOTE: Appliance is equipped with a water installation kit. To
assure proper connection to your water supply, use proper sealing
material in the connection. Check if connection is sealed properly
after some hours of operation.
4. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing to the
shut-off valve. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter)
soft copper tubing to connect the shut-off valve and the
refrigerator.
Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job.
Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.
Slip compression sleeve and compression nut onto copper
tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely
as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end
with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

5. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink and
turn on main water supply to ush out tubing until water is
clear. Turn off shut-off valve on the water pipe.
NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the nal
connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid possible
water valve malfunction.
6. Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet, located
on the back of the refrigerator cabinet as shown. Leave a coil
of copper tubing to allow the refrigerator to be pulled out of
the cabinet or away from the wall for service.
