• This Installation Guide gives you complete
instructions on how to install the Ice Maker
Kit in your refrigerator-freezer and connect
a water line to it. Please read the guide
carefully and follow the instructions exactly
as described. Also, make sure that you
observe all of the “safety” instructions.
• This kit is designed so that almost anyone
can install it; however, a certain amount of
mechanical ability is required.
• Before you start to install your Ice Maker
Kit, you will have to purchase a copper
tubing kit that contains a “Regular Valve
and Clamp Assembly” (for refrigerators with
an automatic ice maker, or self-filling trays).
The kit contains all of the hardware
necessary to connect your ice maker to the
water supply. You can purchase one at
most hardware or plumbing supply stores.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your
appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you
and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the
word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if
you don’t immediately follow
instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if
you don’t follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to
reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are
not followed.
