Water-Line Requirements
Before connecting the refrigerator water line to the home’s
line, familiarize yourself with the home’s plumbing layout,
then decide how best to use it, and tap into the home’s line
minding these requirements:
• The installer shall provide the 5/16” (0.8 cm) water line
and all fittings.
• The water line must be long enough that the refrigerator
can be pulled forward for service and cleaning without
disconnecting/damaging the line.
• All installations must meet local plumbing codes.
• The water shut-off valve should be in the base cabinet
on either side of the refrigerator (right-hand side recom-
mended) or other easily accessible location.
• If the water shut-off valve comes through the wall behind
the refrigerator, it must be angled so the line does not
kink when the refrigerator is in place.
• If not in a side cabinet, ensure the water-supply pipe is
within the area shown in the graphic.
Installing the Water Filter
The refrigerator is bypassed automatically until the water
filter is installed.
To install the water filter:
1. Turn off the water supply to the refrigerator.
2. Open the grill cover at the top of the refrigerator.
3. Set the filter in place, and turn it clockwise until it stops
snugly, and close the grill cover.
4. Press-hold Water on the control panel for 3 seconds.
The water-filter life-cycle detector sets itself; the filter
indicator goes out.
5. Re-open the water valve, and run water through the
dispenser for 7 minutes (to remove impurities and air
from the water line.)
