Connect the Tubing to the Refrigerator
Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the
refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
We recommend installing a water filter if your water supply has sand or particles
that could clog the screen of the refrigerator’s water valve. Install it in the water
line near the refrigerator.
Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve.
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as
shown.
Insert the end of the copper tubing into the water valve connection as far as
possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
Fasten the copper tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in a vertical
position. You may need to pry open the clamp. 4

Plug In the Refrigerator
Arrange the coil of copper tubing so that it does not vibrate against the back of
the refrigerator or against the wall.
Push the refrigerator back to the wall.
Start the Icemaker
Set the icemaker feeler arm to the ON (down) position. The icemaker will
not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of 15°F. (-9°C.)
or below. It will then begin operation automatically if the icemaker feeler arm
is in the
ON (down) position.
NOTE: The icemaker may double-cycle when it first starts, causing some water spillage from
the icemaker into the ice bucket. This is normal and should not happen again.
