18Connect the Water SupplyRead all directions before you begin.IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water lineis connected, turn the ice maker OFF.Connect to Water LineParts Needed■ Minimum 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible, codes approved watersupply lineStyle 1—Shutoff Valve ConnectionNOTE: If your water line connection does not look like Style 1,see “Style 2—Copper Line Connection.”1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power supply.IMPORTANT: Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flushthe main water supply line to remove particles and air in the waterline. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing thewater line may help avoid filters and/or water valves frombecoming clogged.2. Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to thewater shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto theshutoff valve as shown.NOTE: The shutoff valve shown is in the side cabinet asrecommended.3. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoffvalve ON.4. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (includingconnections at the valve) that leak.Style 2—Copper Line ConnectionNOTE: If there is a water supply line that meets the specificationsin “Water Supply Requirements,” proceed to “Connecting toRefrigerator.” If not, use the following instructions to connect tothe household cold water supply.1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet longenough to clear line of water.3. Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold waterpipe near the refrigerator.IMPORTANT:■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.■ Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of thepipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away fromthe drill and keep normal sediment from collecting in thevalve.4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measurefrom the connection on the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) O.D.(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends ofcopper tubing are cut square.5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the coldwater pipe you have selected.6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipeclamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm)drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under thepipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clampscrews slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal.Do not overtighten.IMPORTANT: Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flushthe main water supply line to remove particles and air in the waterline. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing thewater line may help avoid filters and/or water valves frombecoming clogged.7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on thecopper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into theoutlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nutonto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtightenthe clamp or the sleeve. This will crush the copper tubing.8. Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the coppertubing.9. Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to thewater shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto theshutoff valve.10. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoffvalve ON.11. Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Tighten any nuts orconnections (including connections at the valve) that leak.Connect to RefrigeratorParts Supplied■ ¹⁄₄" to ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm to 6.35 mm) male-to-male couplingA. BulbB. NutC.
