How to Connect the Water Line to Your Fridge

Follow these steps to properly connect the water line to your fridge and ensure a steady

supply of water:

Step 1: Unplug the Fridge

Before beginning, unplug your fridge for safety during the connection process.

Step 2: Gather the Materials

All the materials required for the connection will be provided with the fridge. Make sure you

have everything, including hoses, connectors, and clips.

Step 3: Check for a 1/2" Valve Connector

A standard 1/2" valve connector must be installed for connecting to the cold water

mains. If you don’t have one, consult a qualified plumber to install it.

Step 4: Determine if an Internal Filter is Required

If your tap water is drinkable, you can either remove the internal filter and lock the plug or

directly perform the connections. If the internal filter is required, leave it in place.

Step 5: Remove the Hose Connector

At the back of the fridge, remove the connector on the hose nozzle of the water valve.

Pass the hose through the connector for a secure fit.

Step 6: Attach the Hose to the Water Valve

Connect the hose tightly to the water valve nozzle. Then, hand-tighten the connector, or

use a pipe wrench or pliers for a more secure fit.

Step 7: Connect the Tap Adaptor

Remove the connector from the tap adaptor, then connect the tap adaptor to the tap of

the water mains. Ensure it is securely in place.

Step 8: Attach the Hose to the Tap

Pass the water hose through the connector and connect it to the tap. Tighten the

connector by hand or with pliers for a secure fit.

Step 9: Secure the Hose with Clips

Use the clips provided to fix the water hose in place, ensuring the hose doesn’t move or

become loose.

By following these steps, you can properly connect the water line to your fridge, ensuring a

smooth water supply for your appliance.
