Water Supply Requirements

Check that the water supply lines are insulated against freezing

conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water

pressure and damage your ice maker or home. Damage from

frozen supply lines is not covered by the warranty.

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and

120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If

you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,

qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT:

■ A reverse osmosis water filtration system is not

recommended for ice makers that have a drain pump

installed.

■ For gravity drain systems only.

■ The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse

osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the ice

maker needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and

827 kPa).

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).

NOTE: The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. (3.8 L) of

water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation. If

a reverse osmosis system is desired, only a whole-house

capacity reverse osmosis system, capable of maintaining the

steady water supply required by the ice maker, is recommended.

Faucet capacity reverse osmosis systems are not able to

maintain the steady water supply required by the ice maker.

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

■ 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.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,

qualified plumber.

Vacation or Extended Time Without Use

■ When you will not be using the ice maker for an extended

period of time, turn off the water and power supply to the ice

maker.

■ Check that the water supply lines are insulated against

freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can

increase water pressure and cause damage to your ice maker

or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the

warranty.

Connect Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the

International Plumbing Code and any local codes and

ordinances.

■ Use copper tubing or Whirlpool supply line, Part Number

8212547RP, and check for leaks.

■ Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain

above freezing.

Tools Needed

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation:

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

■ ¹⁄₄" nut driver

NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve

which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Connecting the Water Line

1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

2. Using a ¹⁄₂" copper supply line with a quarter-turn shutoff

valve or the equivalent, connect the ice maker as shown.

NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the ice maker a

minimum ¹⁄₂" diameter home supply line is recommended.

3. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use ¹⁄₄"

(6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing for the cold water supply.

■ Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the

job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut

square.

■ Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper

tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end

squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto

outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

4. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and

turn on main water supply and flush out tubing until water is

clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.

IMPORTANT: Always drain the water line before making the

final connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid

possible water valve malfunction.

5. Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet which is

located on the back of the ice maker cabinet as shown.

Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the ice maker to be

pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.
