Water Pressure
IMPORTANT: A cold water supply with water pressure between 
30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice 
maker. 
NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, ice 
cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, 
qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
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 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the ice maker is still not operating properly:
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 usage.
Connect the Water Supply
(on some models)
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is 
connected, turn the ice maker OFF to avoid excessive noise or 
damage to the water valve.
Connect to Water Line
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long 
enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a 
¹⁄₂" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.27 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water 
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the 
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from 
the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you will need. Measure 
from the connection on lower left rear of refrigerator to the 
water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 
¹⁄₄" 
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both 
ends of copper tubing are cut square. 
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 
¹⁄₄" hole in the cold water pipe you 
have selected.
6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe 
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 
¹⁄₄" drilled hole in 
the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. 
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly 
and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not 
overtighten.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the 
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the 
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut 
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten. 
8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn 
ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear. 
Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper 
tubing.
Connect to Refrigerator
NOTE: On kit models, assemble water valve to refrigerator 
according to kit instructions.
Style 1
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression 
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not 
overtighten.
3. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure 
the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help avoid 
damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back 
against the wall.
4. Turn shutoff valve ON. 
5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including 
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak. 
6. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your 
water conditions require a second water strainer, install it in 
the 
¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain 
a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.
