How to install the refrigerator water supply line?

Step 1. Connect the household water line (A) to the assembled compression fitting (B).

If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut (C) (not supplied) and ferrule (not supplied) on the copper tubing (not supplied) as shown.

If you are using plastic tubing (B), insert the molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing (B) into the compression fitting.

Step 2. Tighten the compression nut (B) onto the compression fitting.

Step 3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage. If you find water drops or leakage in the connection areas, turn off the main water supply. Check the connections and, if necessary, tighten.

Step 4. After installing the water line, flush the water line and filter by pressing and holding down the water dispenser lever with a container to catch the dispensed water. Dispense at least 2~3 gallons (7~11 liters) of water to ensure that all air and impurities have been flushed from the system.

Step 5. After flushing, the lines, test the water pressure to verify it is at a minimum water pressure of 20 psi. Test the water pressure by dispensing water into a measuring cup for 10 seconds.

• If at least 5.75 ounces (163 grams) of water are dispensed, the water pressure is above 20 psi.
• If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20 psi), you should install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

Step 6. After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that period of time, throw out the first 1 or 2 buckets of ice that the freezer makes to ensure all impurities have been removed from the water line.
