Connecting The Water Supply

To connect the water supply to the rear of your refrigerator:

1 Ensure that the refrigerator is not plugged in.

2 Flush the supply line until water is clear by placing the end of the copper tube

in a sink or bucket and opening the shut-off valve.

3 Unscrew the plastic cap from the water valve inlet at

the rear of your refrigerator. Discard the cap.

4 Slide the brass compression nut, then the ferrule

(sleeve) onto copper tube.

5 Push the copper tube into water valve inlet as far as it

will go (1/4 inch).

6 Slide the ferrule (sleeve) into valve and finger-tighten

the compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half
turn with a wrench. Do not over-tighten.

7 Secure the copper tube to your refrigerator’s rear panel

with a steel clamp and screw (see illustration).

8 Coil the excess copper tubing (about 2½ turns) behind

your refrigerator as shown. Arrange coiled tubing to
avoid vibration or wear against other surfaces.

9 Open water supply shut-off valve and tighten any

connections that leak.
