Electrical Shock Hazard
Unplug the refrigerator before installing
ice maker.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
IMPORTANT:
e Use copper tubing only and check for leaks.
@Install ice maker tubing in areas where
temperatures are above freezing.
Toolsrequired:
0 Standard screwdriver
0 7/16-inch and M-inch open-end wrenches or
two adjustable wrenches
8 X-inch nut driver
l N-inch drill bit
l Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)
NOTE: Your appliance dealer has a kit available
with a %-inch saddle type shut-off valve, a union,
and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure
a saddle type valve complies with your local plumb-
ing codes. Do not use a piercing type or G-inch
saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs
more easily.
Cold water supply
The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer
which is used as a water pressure regulator. The
ice maker needs to be connected to a cold water
line with water pressure limitations of 20-120 psi. If
a problem occurs, call your utility company.
1MPORTANT:
* It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to
begin producing ice.
@If operating the refrigerator before installing the
water connection, turn ice maker to the OFF
position to prevent operation without water.
l All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.

Connectingto water line
1. Find a M-inch to 1%-inch vertical COLD water Vertical cold
pipe near the refrigerator. water pipe
NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the follow- X-inch O.D.
ing precaution must be taken: Drill on the top
side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help
keep water away from the drill. This also keeps n
normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
2. Measure from connection on rear of refrigerator
to water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1 m) to allow for
moving refrigerator for cleaning. This is the
length of %-inch O.D. copper tubing you will
need for the job (length from connection to
water pipe PLUS 7 feet [2.1 ml). Be sure both
ends of copper tubing are cut square.
3. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest
faucet long enough to clear line of water. sion sleeve nut
4. Using a grounded drill, drill a %-inch hole on the TO REFRIGERATOR +
cold water pipe you have selected. * Controls water supply
5. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe
clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the X-inch
drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is
under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut.
Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and
evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not
over-tighten or you may crush the copper tubing,
especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used.
Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.
6. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on
copper tubing as shown in diagram. Insert end of
tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go.
Screw compression nut onto outlet end with
adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten. Turn ON
main water supply and flush out tubing until water
is clear. Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water
pipe. Coil copper tubing.
