INSTALLATION - CONNECTING ICE MAKER TO 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 tubing is recommended for the water supply
line. Water supply tubing made of ¼” 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.
•
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 PhillipsTM 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
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 (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.
•
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 ¼ inch OD copper tubing, a saddle type shutoff
valve (nonpiercing), (2) ¼ 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 source.
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 (¼ 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 as shown.
7.
Coil excess water supply line (about 2½ 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 electrical power source.
10. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (side
mounted) or set the ice maker’s On/Off power switch to the
“I” position. (rear mounted)
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.
