WARNING
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe

refrigerator before connecting water supply. After
connecting water supply, connect power.
Caution
To avoid property damage, observe the following:
• Confirm water pressure to water valve is between 20
and 100 pounds per square inch.
• If water filter will be installed, water pressure to water
valve must be a minimum of 35 pounds per square
inch.
• Tighten nut by hand to avoid cross threading. Finish
tightening nuts with pliers and wrenches. Do not
overtighten.
• Check for water leaks and correct if necessary
before returning refrigerator to normal location and 24
hours after connecting.
Important
• Before connecting water supply, contact a plumber to
connect copper tubing to household plumbing in
compliance with local codes and ordinances.
• A self–piercing or
3
/16" (4.8 mm) saddle valve is not
recommended. Both reduce water flow, become
clogged with time and may cause leaks if repair is
attempted. The correct type of shut off valve requires
a
1
/4" (6 mm) hole to be drilled in water supply pipe
prior to valve attachment. The manufacturer is not
responsible for property damage caused by improper
water connection.
Materials Required
1
/4" (6 mm) flexible copper tubing. Length of copper tubing
must reach from water supply connection plus an
additional 8' (2 m) for service loop behind refrigerator.

brass nut and brass sleeve on copper tubing. Insert
copper tubing into water valve inlet port. Connect
brass nut on copper tubing to water valve inlet port.
Confirm copper tubing is secure by pulling on copper
tubing.
