3. Find a ¹⁄₂-inch to 1¹⁄₄-inch vertical COLD water pipe

near the refrigerator.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following

precaution must be taken: Drill on the top side of the

pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away

from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from

collecting in the valve.

4. To determine the length of copper tubing you will need,

measure from connection on lower left rear of

refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1 m) to allow for

moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄-inch O.D.

(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of

copper tubing are cut square.

5. Using a grounded drill, drill a ¹⁄₄-inch hole in the cold

water pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe

clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄-inch drilled

hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe

clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp

screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a

watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush

the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper

tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the

copper tubing.

7. 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.

8. 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 shut-off valve on the water

pipe. Coil copper tubing.

Connecting to refrigerator:

1. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a

compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the

compression nut. Do not overtighten. Use the tube

clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure the

tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help

prevent damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is

pushed back against the wall. Move to step 2.

2. Turn shut-off valve ON. Check For Leaks. Tighten

any connections (including connections at the valve) or

nuts that leak.

3. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer.

If local water conditions require periodic cleaning or a

well is your source of water supply, a second water

strainer should be installed in the ¹⁄₄-inch water line.

Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance

dealer. Install at either tube connection.

4. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
