Installation

Connect the water line

Connect the water line to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly, a water

pressure of 20-125 psi is required. After you have connected the water line, make sure the

water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly lled.

CAUTION

Do not reuse an old hose set. Use the new hose sets supplied with your refrigerator only.

• The water line installation is not covered by the Warranty of this product. Read carefully

through these instructions to protect your property and prevent possible damage.

• Banging pipes (water banging in the pipes) can cause damage to the refrigerator, and

lead to water leakage or ooding. If you encounter this problem, contact a plumber for

professional assistance.

• To prevent burns and product damage, do not connect the water line to a hot water

source.

• Do not install the water line in areas where temperatures fall below the freezing point.

• When using any electrical device (such as a motorized drill) during installation, be sure

the device is insulated and properly grounded to prevent electric shock.

• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

• The water lter must be replaced as instructed by the manufacturer or the retailer.

• To purchase additional water lters, contact the manufacturer or the retailer of the lter.

NOTE

• You can purchase the water line installation kit from your retailer. We recommend using

a kit that contains copper tubing and a 6 mm (1/4”) compression nut.

• In an area with low water pressure (below 20 psi), you can install a booster pump to

compensate for the low pressure.
