INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
NOTE: Your appliance dealer has a kit available with a
1
⁄4-inch saddle type shut-off valve, a union, and copper
tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle type
valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not
use piercing type or
3
⁄16-inch saddle valve which
reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
Cold water supply
The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer
which is used as a water pressure regulator. The ice
maker needs to be connected to a cold water line
with water pressure limitations of 20-120 psi. If a
problem occurs, call your utility company.
IMPORTANT:
• It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to
begin producing ice.
• If operating the refrigerator before installing the water
connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to
prevent operation without water.
• All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
