10 Connecting The Water Supply

About your refrigerator’s water supply

The automatic ice & water dispenser on your

refrigerator requires a permanent water supply

to function correctly. During installation, you

(or a service professional) establish this water

supply by connecting a copper tube from your

household water system to a valve at the rear of

the refrigerator.

You may have already followed the directions in

the Installation Instructions to connect the water

supply. This information is repeated here for future

reference if you need to relocate your refrigerator.
