Connect to Refrigerator

Style 1 - Connection to Water Valve

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression

nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do

not overtighten.

3. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure

the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help avoid

damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back

against the wall.

4. Turn shutoff valve ON.

5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including

connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

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

your water conditions require a second water strainer, install

it in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection.

Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.

Style 2 - Connection to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray water

tube on the rear of the refrigerator.

3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long

enough, a ¹⁄₄" x ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) coupling is needed

in order to connect the water tubing to an existing household

water line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the

end of the copper tubing.

NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench

two more turns. Do not overtighten.

4. Turn shutoff valve ON.

5. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including

connections at the valve) that leak.

Style 3 - Connection to Shut-off Valve

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray water

tube on the rear of the refrigerator.

3. Thread the provided nut onto the water valve as shown.

NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench

two more turns. Do not overtighten.

4. Turn shutoff valve ON.

5. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including

connections at the valve) that leak.
