Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:
Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.
3Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
4 If you use copper tubing - Slide brass compression nut,
then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line. Push water
supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (t_
inch/6.4 ram). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and
finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another
half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 1.
If you use stainless steel tubing - The nut and ferrule
are already assembled on the tubing. Slide compression
nut onto valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut
onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO
NOT over tighten. See Figure 2.
5 With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line
(copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
6 Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only) about
2_/2turns behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils
so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.
7Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any
connections that leak.
8 Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.
9 To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (side
mounted) or set the ice maker's ON/OFF power switch
to the "r' position (rear mounted).
• BasicTools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver,
and PhillipsTM screwdriver.
• Access to a household cold water line with water
pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
• A water supply line made of t_ inch (6.4 ram) OD, copper
or stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing
needed, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet
valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water
pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the
refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).
• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your
household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing
type shutoff valve.
•A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a
copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
