HowtheIcemakerWork
Waterfillsthe empty cube mold
(Fig. 1)when freezercompartment
has cooled to freezingtemperature.
Coldair isforceddirectlyovermold.
Storage Bin
Fig. 2
When frozen, the cubesare rotated
up and out ofthe mold (Fig. 2).
The sweeper arm ejects them into
the ice storagebin below.
The feelerarm (Fig. 3) senses
when bin is fill and signals
icemakerto stopejectingmore
cubes. However,themold hasbeen
refilledandcubes frozen sothe
new supplyis ready when needed.
As soonas ice is removedfrom the
bin, the feeler arm signalsthat
more isneeded. Icemaker resumes
operationbyejecting ready-and-

CAUTION:
~When using any electricaldevice(suchas a
power drill)during installation,be sure the device
isinsulated or wired inamanner toprevent the
hazard ofelectric shock.
@AHinstallationsmust be inaccordancewith

WHATYouWILLNEEB
Acold water supply isrequired for
automatic icemaker operation. Water
pressure must bebetween 20and 120p.s.i.
Copper tubing, 1/4” (HI., shouldbe used to
connectthe refrigerator to the water supply.Do
not use plastic tubing fmplastic fittings
because the connectionbetween the water supply
and the refrigerator water valveinlet isunder
constantwater pressure. Also,certain types of
plastic tubing maybecomebrittle with age and
crack, resulting inwater leakage.
Ashutoff valve shouldbe connectedtothe cold
water line.The shutoffvalveshouldhaveawater
inlet with arnininmnn inside diameter d
5/32” at the pointofconnectionto the COLD
WATERLINE. Asaddle type shutoffvalve
permitted by manylocalplumbingcodesis shown
below.

a. Choosealocationfor the valvethat is easily
accessible.It is best to connect intothe side ofa
verticalwater pipe. When it is necessary to
connect intoahorizontalwater pipe, make the
connectionto the top or side, rather than at the
bottom, to avoiddrawing offany sediment from
the water pipe.
b. Drilla1/4” hole in the water pipe, using a

Route the tubing through ahole drilled in the
floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base
cabinet) as close to the wallas possible. Be sure
there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8feet coiled
into 3turns ofabout 10inches diameter) to allow
the refrigerator to moveout from the wallafter
instalh+tion.
Place the compressionnut and ferrule ontothe
end ofthe tubing and connectto the shutoffvalve.

a. Turn water on and flush out the tubing, making
certain that allforeign matter is removed from the
line.
b. Shut the water offafter about one quart of
water has been flushed through the tubing.
NUI’E: Some localitiesmay have sand or other
foreign matter present in the water supply in such
quantities thatthey may,in time, collectin the
screen ofthe water valveattached to the back of
the refrigerator and tend to reduce the water flow
to the icemaker. Where such conditions exist, we
recommend that an additional filter or strainer be
installed in the line near the refrigerator. If a
screen type strainer is used, it should be 80 mesh
or finer.
c. Cut offthe flared end ofthe copper tubing and
remove the flare nut from the tubing.
