DANGER
!
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe
personal injury or death. Disconnect power to
refrigerator before connecting water supply.
CAUTION
!
Observe the following to avoid property damage:
• Raise stabilizing leg before moving unit.
• Make sure water pressure to water valve is
between 20 and 100 pounds per square inch.
• Tighten adapter fitting and nuts with pliers and
wrenches. Do not overtighten.
• Check for water leaks and correct if necessary
before returning refrigerator to normal location. After
24 hours check again for leaks.
Important
• Before connecting water supply, contact a plumber to
connect coper tubing to household plumbing in
compliance with local codes and ordinances.
• DO NOT use piercing type or
3
/

" saddle valves!
Both reduce water flow, become clogged with time and
in addition, may cause leaks if repair is attempted. The
correct type–a shut-off valve–requires a ¼" hole to be
drilled in the water supply pipe before valve attachment.
• Do not install copper tubing in area where temperatures
drop below 32°F (0°C).
Materials Required
¼" O.D. (6 mm) flexible copper tubing
½" open end wrench
Length of copper tubing must reach from water supply
connection to water valve inlet port on back of
refrigerator, plus additional 8 ft. (2 m) of tubing for a
service loop. A service loop will allow refrigerator to be
pulled away from the wall without disconnecting tubing.
