•Clip the end of the ground wire to the
refrigerator cabinet.
IMPORTANT: To ensure a proper ground,
the end of the ground wire MUST be secured
to the refrigerator cabinet.
I_CONNECT WATER TUBE
TO INLET
•Squeeze the ends of the hose clamp (12) from the
kit with pliers and slide the clamp over the inlet,
located on the right side of the refrigerator.
• While still squeezing the clamp, insert the free end
of the water tube (3) into the inlet as far _ it will go.
• Then sfide the clamp downward to capture the
water tube in place.
• Using one of the adhesive-backed fasteners (4),
secure the water tube to the back of the refrigerator
about 1/2" below the inlet.
[] INSTALL WATER LINE CLAMP
i Attach the water line clamp (strain relief) (6)
from the kit to the refrigerator. With the clamp
direcdy in line with the water valve, drive the
screw (5) from the kit through the damp (6)

[] WATER VALVE INSTALLED
Refer to the Water Line Installation Instructions for
connection to the home water supply. After water
line installation is completed, set the ieemaker
power switch to I (on).
Even when the icemaker power switch is in the
I (on) position, power to the icemaker will be
interrupted when the freezer door/drawer is open.
This prevents ice ejecting from the icemaker from
missing the ice bucket and dropping into the back
of the freezer. Because power to the icemaker is
interrupted while the door/drawer is open, the
green power light on the icemaker will be off. To
make sure the icemaker is working properly, press
the freezer light switch located on the upper right
side of the freezer compartment. The power light
on the icemaker will come on.
Note: After installing the icemaker, do not open
the door/drawer for approximately 4 hours. This
will allow the freezer to reach the correct operating
temperature for making ice, and will prevent water
from spilling out of the icemaker mold.
Proceed with the appropriate step in the Installing
the Water Line section in the Owner's Manual and
Installation Instructions to complete the installation,

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
FORYOURSAFE'/'_.
Do not place fingers or hands in the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in, This will help protect you from
possible injury.
It will also prevent interference with moving
parts of the ejector mechanism and the heating
element that releases the cubes, located on the

About the automatic icemaker. ptia,,,,om
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
:_i Automatic Icemaker
The icemaker wiUproduce seven cubes
per cycle--approximately 100-130 cubes
in a 24-hour period, depending on
freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings
and other use conditions.
i If the refrigerator is operated before the
.................. water connection is made to the icemaker,
set the power switch to O (off).
When the refrigez-ator has been connected
to the water supply, set the power switch to
I (on). The green light will come on.
The icemaker will fill with water when
it cools to freezing. A newly-installed
refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours
to begin making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to
allow the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep
of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler
arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes
will become cloudy, taste stale
and shrink.
If ice cubes get stuck in the icemaker, the
green power light will blink. To correct
this, set the power switch to 0 (off) and
remove the cubes. Set the power switch to
I (on) to restart the icemaker.
NOTE:Inhomes with lower-than-averagewater
pressure,youmay hear theicemakercyclemultiple
times whenmaking onebatchof ice.
Preparing for Vacation
Set the icemaker power switch to 0(off)
and shut off the water supply to the
refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing,
have a qualified servicer drain the water
supply system (on some models) to prevent
serious property damage due to flooding.
When you should set the icemaker power switch to 0(off)
m When the ice storage bin is removed for M When the refrigerator will not be used for
more than a minute or two. several days.
m When the water supply will be shut off for
several hours.
Normal sounds you may hear
WThe icemaker water valve will buzz when
the icemaker fills with water, ff the power
switch is in the I (on) position, it will buzz
even if it has not yet been hooked up to
water. Keeping the power switch in the
I (on) position before it is hooked up to
water can damage the icemaker. To
prevent this, move the power switch to
the O (off) position. This will stop the
buzzing.
The sound of cubes dropping into the bin
and water running in the pipes as the
