WATER HOOKUP
FINAL CHECKS
1. Turn water supply valve ON and check for
leaks. Tighten any connections or nuts that
leak (including connections at the valve).
2. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
NOTE: It may take up to 24 hours for the
ice maker to begin producing ice.
Style 2
1. Thread the provided nut onto the water
valve, as shown. First tighten the nut by
hand, then tighten it with a wrench two
more turns. Do not overtighten.
READ ALL DIRECTIONS COMPLETELY
BEFORE YOU BEGIN.
IMPORTANT:
In order to prevent possible leakage resulting
in property damage, be sure:
1. If you are operating the refrigerator before
installing the water connection, turn the
ice maker to the OFF position to prevent
operation without water.
2. Use copper tubing.
3. Install tubing only in areas where tempera-
tures will remain above freezing.
4. All installations must be in accordance with
local plumbing code requirements.
5. See the “Installation Guide” for further
information.
COLD WATER SUPPLY
The ice maker water valve contains a flow wash-
er which is used as a water pressure regulator.
The ice maker needs to be connected to a cold
water line with water pressure between 30-120
psi. If you have questions about your water
pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER
SUPPLY
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water sup-
ply coming out of a reverse osmosis system
going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator
needs to be between 30-120 psi. If a reverse
osmosis water filtration system is connected
to your cold water supply, the water pressure
to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a
minimum of 40 - 60 psi. If the water system to
the reverse osmosis water system is less than
40 - 60 psi:
Check to see whether the sediment filter
in the reverse osmosis system is blocked.
Replace the filter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse
osmosis system to refill after heavy us
-
age.

If your refrigerator has a water filter car-
tridge, it may further reduce the water
pressure when used in conjunction with
a reverse osmosis system. Remove the
water filter cartridge.
CONNECTING TO THE
REFRIGERATOR
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the shipping tape from the gray,
coiled water tubing on the rear of the re
-
frigerator.
Style 1
1. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling
on the end of the copper tubing.
