2. CONNECT WATER DISPENSER LINE
A water dispenser is just one of the helpful features
on your new Kenmore Refrigerator. To help promote
better health, the Kenmore water filter removes
unwanted particles from your water. However,
it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms.
You may need to purchase a water purifying
system to do that.
In order for the icemaker to operate properly, a
water pressure of 20-125 psi (pound per square
inch) is required.
Under normal conditions, a 6-ounce cup can be
filled in 10 seconds.
If the Refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure (below 20 psi), install a booster
pump to compensate for the low pressure.
Make sure the water storage tank inside the
Refrigerator is properly filled. To do this, press the
water dispenser lever until the water runs from the
water outlet.
NOTE: Water line installation kits are available at
extra cost from Sears. We recommend using
a water supply kit that contains copper tubing.
Connecting to the water supply line:
1. First, shut off the main water supply line and turn
the icemaker off.
2. Locate the nearest cold drinking water line.
3. After connecting the water supply to the water
filter, turn your main water supply back on and
flush 4 or more gallons into a bucket to clear and
prime the water filter.
