Important Information
The following information is used throughout this installation Guide. Read it carefully SOyou
are familiar with it.
information that alerts you to potentially
dangerous conditions. These conditions
can cause serious personal injury if the
suggested procedures are not observed.
@ThisInstallation 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 care-
fully 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.
l 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 auto-
matic 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.
@DONOT USE PIERCING-TYPE, OR %r”
SHUT-OFF VALVES. They reduce the flow
of water to the ice maker, and are easily
clogged.
@DONOT USE POLYETHYLENE TUBING to
connect the ice maker to the water line. Use
only ‘!4”(O.D.) copper tubing.

Important safety instructions
Electrical Shock Hazard
If you intend to use power tools, such as
an electric drill, during the installation,
make sure that the AC receptacle is
properly grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code (ANSVNFPA 70)
and all local codes and ordinances. The
tools must have a 3-prong grounding plug
(see illustration) to minimize the danger
of electrical shock. If a mating receptacle
is not available, it is the personal respon-
sibility of the customer to have a properly
grounded 3-prong wall receptacle and
plug installed by a qualified electrician.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in death or personal injury.

and set them on a table where they can be
easily identified and located. Check all of the
components in the kit against the following list
to help you become familiar with them. When
you identify a component, place a check
mark ( 3) after it. The KEY numbers corre-
spond to the “Component Illustrations.”
IMPORTANT: When you remove the water
valve and flexible tubing from the Styrofoam
packing insert, do not remove the tubing from
the valve. It has been factory-installed and
leak-tested. Do not disturb the compression
nut that connects the tubing to the valve, or
the valve may leak after you connect it to the

Mounting the ice maker
Refer to the side diagram for the following
step.
1. Look at the ice maker’s fill cup and note
that the rear of the cup has a “U” shaped
groove (either of the sides may also be
grooved). Use your fingers, (or a pair of
pliers, if it is easier), and remove only the
rear “knock-out” from the cup. Bend the
area back and forth inside the groove until it
breaks free. The fill tube will fit through this
cutout when you install the ice maker.
Remove knockout
Removing the knockout
Refer to the side diagram for the following
steps.
1. Remove and discard the blank connector
from the wiring harness. To remove it, lift
the locking arm on the side of the blank
connector so it is over the tab of the wiring
harness connector, and pull the blank
connector off.
2. Insert the end of a small-bladed screwdriver
under the edges of each of the three ice
maker mounting hole plugs in the side of
the freezer liner, and pry them out of their
holes. You can discard the plugs.
3. For Top/Bottom Freezers Only: Partially
install two %” hex-head sheet-metal screws
into the two top mounting holes (shown in
the diagram) of the freezer liner. You will
hang the ice maker over these two screws
later, so make sure that they protrude out
far enough.
4. For Side-By-Side Models Only: Refer to
DETAIL A and mount the two mounting
clips (from the ice maker kit) to the top
mounting holes of the freezer liner with two
S’hex-head sheet-metal screws. Make
sure that both clips hang straight down and
then tighten the screws.

Installing the Water Line
Choosing a location
1.Open the copper tubing kit that you pur-
chased earlier, and lay the contents neatly
on a table where you can identify them
easily. The parts from the kit that you will
use are as follows:
1 Regular Valve (not the steel-
piercing type)
2 Compression Sleeves
2 Compression Nuts
2 Clamps
2 Screws
2 Nuts
1 Gasket Seal
1 Length of Coiled Copper Tubing
NOTE: When you work with the soft copper
tubing, be careful not to kink it. If you acciden-
tally kink the tubing, do not use it.
IMPORTANT: Do not install water line tubing
in a location where the temperature may fall
below freezing; otherwise, property damage
could occur.
2. Choose a suitable water pipe location to
install the water shut-off valve (see side
diagram for some suggested locations). We
recommend installing the valve on a vertical
length of cold (not hot) water pipe that is
nearest your refrigerator. If a vertical length
of pipe is not nearby, you can use a hori-
zontal length of water pipe, however, you
will have to drill the access hole for the
valve into the top or side of the pipe (not the
bottom). This will keep water in the pipe
from flowing down onto the drill, and also
keep sediment from collecting in the valve
later.
NOTE: Depending on the location of the
horizontal pipe in relation to the floor and
wall, drilling into it may not be possible.
3. Drill a %‘hole through the floor or wall to
the water pipe.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure there are no electrical wires
underneath the floor where the hole is to
be drilled.
Before drilling, put on safety glasses to
avoid eye injury.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death or personal injury.
16

Routing the copper tubing
Refer to the side diagram for the following
steps.
1. Uncoil the necessary length of copper
tubing and straighten it, then route the end
of the tubing through the access hole you
drilled to the location you have chosen to
install the shut-off valve. Straighten only
enough of the copper tubing to reach this
location. Leave the rest coiled near the
access hole.
2.At this time, make sure that you have been
supplied with enough tubing so that when
you are finished connecting the water line,
you will have enough coiled behind the
refrigerator to easily move it forward far
enough to clean behind it. Also make sure
that the coils are large enough so that when
the unit is pulled forward, the windings will
not stretch too far and kink.
3.Turn off the cold water supply going to the
water pipe where you will be installing the
shut-off valve.
4. Open a cold water tap that is connected to
the selected water pipe and bleed off the
water pressure. Leave the tap open until
after you complete the water line hook up.
5. Use a hammer and a center punch, and
mark the location of the hole for the shut-off
valve. If you are marking copper tubing, do
not strike the punch hard enough to bend it.
6. Install a l/4*bit in the drill, and carefully
drill an access hole through just the front
side (not through both sides) of the cold
water pipe.
7. Check the hole and make sure that you
have drilled completely through one side of
the pipe. The edges of the hole should be
smooth and round. If necessary, use a
small %-round file to remove any rough
edges from inside the hole, and any burrs
from around the top of the hole.

Routing the copper tubing
Electrical Shock Hazard
If you are using an electric drill, make
sure it is properly grounded. Some water
usually remains in the pipe, and could
enter the drill while you are using it.
Before drilling, put on safety glasses to
avoid eye injury.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death or personal injury.

Installing the shut-off valve
Refer to the diagram below for the following
steps.
1. Locate the shut-off valve and the front pipe
clamp (with the threaded hole in the center)
from the copper tubing kit. Then, being
careful not to crossthread the valve, screw
the end with the pilot tube into the threaded
hole of the clamp. Hand-tighten the valve
as far as it will go (the threaded shaft is
slightly tapered and can only be tightened
so far).
2. Use a %*open-end (or adjustable) wrench,
and turn the body of the shut-off valve an
additional l/e-turn to secure it to the clamp.
3. Slide the rubber seal gasket (from the
copper tubing kit) over the pilot tube (the
unthreaded portion) of the shut-off valve.
Nut -
4. Carefully slide the pilot tube of the shut-off
valve into the water pipe access hole so it
is against the seal gasket, and install the
back pipe clamp over the water pipe.
Secure the clamps to the pipe with the two
screws and nuts that were supplied with
the copper tubing kit. Tighten the nuts
equally so that the space between the
clamps is the same (see DETAIL A). DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN the nuts, or you
could deform the clamps and damage the
seal gasket.

Connecting the copper tubing to the shut-off valve
Refer to the diagram below for the following
steps.
1.Straighten a 2” section of copper tubing and
make sure that the opening is round and
cut evenly across the end. If necessary, use
a tubing cutter (or a hacksaw) and cut the
end off, then file it so it is even, and remove
any burrs from around the inside and out-
side edges so it is smooth and round. When
you are finished, clean the filings from
inside the tubing as much as possible.
2. Position the compression nut as shown,
and slide it over the end of the copper
tubing.
3. Slide a compression sleeve over the
copper tubing until it is approximately
1‘from the end.
4. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the
outlet connector of the shut-off valve as far
as it will go, and then hand tighten the
compression nut as much as possible.

Connecting the copper tubing to the water valve
Refer to the diagram below for the following
steps.
1. Check to make sure that the free end of
the tubing is round and cut even. If neces-
sary, prepare the end in the same manner
as you did earlier. Be sure to clean the
filings from inside the tubing after you
prepare the end.
When you perform the next step, be careful
not to kink the copper tubing.
2. Starting at the free end, straighten ap-
proximately 20” of the copper tubing.
3. Close the water tap you left open earlier to
bleed the water lines.
4. Insert the end of the copper tubing into a
pail, and have someone turn on the water
supply. Allow enough water to flow
through the lines to thoroughly flush them
out. Once the water runs clear, turn off the
supply and bleed the lines.
5. Remove the strain relief clamp from the
rear of the cabinet and slide it over the end
of the copper tubing. Make sure you posi-
tion the flanges as shown.
6. Slide a compression nut over the free
end of the copper tubing.
7. Slide a compression sleeve over the
copper tubing and position it 1“from
the end.
8. If one is installed, remove the plastic cap
from the water inlet fitting on the water
valve and discard the cap.
9. Insert the end of the tubing into the water
inlet connector at the top of the water
valve as far as it will go, and hand tighten
the compression nut as much as possible.
10.Use a %*open-end wrench, and further
tighten the compression nut on the water
inlet connector gne additional turq. If
necessary, you will tighten the nut further
after you turn on the water supply.
