Connecting the Water Supply
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing
is recommended for the water supply
line. Water supply tubing made of ¼
inch 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 tubing 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 working properly.
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
screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line
with water pressure between 30 and
100 psi.

• A water supply line made of ¼ inch
(6.4 mm) OD, copper or 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. Then
add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters),
so the refrigerator can be moved out for
cleaning (as shown).
• A shutoff valve to connect the water
supply line to your household water
system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type
shutoff valve.
• Do not reuse compression fitting or use
thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
for connecting a copper water supply
line to the ice maker inlet valve.
NOTE
Check with your local building authority
for recommendations on water lines and
associated materials prior to installing
your new refrigerator.
