6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm)

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

pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp

screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal.

Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut onto the

copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the

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 in a container or sink, and turn

ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear.

Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper

tubing.

Connect to Refrigerator

Style 1

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 prevent

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

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove and discard the shipping tape and the black, nylon

plug from the gray, coiled water tubing 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" 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.
