INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
Connecting the water line to the Refrigerator.
There are several items that you need to purchase to complete this connection. You
may fi nd these items selling as a kit at your local hardware store.
Only connect the water line to a drinkable water source.
If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make sure you get a snug,

2. Remove the fi xed cap by turning it counter clockwise.
Keep the cap in a safe place for later use if you don’t
use a fi lter.
3. Remove the water fi lter from the box and put a
replacement indicator sticker on the fi lter as shown.
Place a sticker on the fi lter that dates six months in
the future. For example, if you install the water fi lter in
March, put the “SEP” sticker on the fi lter to remind you
to replace in September. That way you’ll know when it
is time to replace the fi lter. Normally, a fi lter life is about
6 months.
