Installation Instructions
WATER VALVE INSTALLED
Refer to the Water Line Installation Instructions for
connection to the home water supply. After water
line installation is completed, set the icemaker
power switch to ON.
Even when the icemaker power switch is in the ON
position, power to the icemaker will be interrupted
when the freezer door/drawer is open. This prevents
ice ejecting from the icemaker from missing the ice
bucket and dropping into the back of the freezer.
Note: After installing the icemaker, do not open
the door/drawer for approximately 4 hours. This
will allow the freezer to reach the correct operating
temperature for making ice, and will prevent water
from spilling out of the icemaker mold.

INSTALL WATER LINE CLAMP
• Attach the water line clamp (strain relief) (6) from
the kit to the refrigerator. With the clamp directly
in line with the water valve, drive the screw (5)
from the kit through the clamp (6) at the indent
into the back of the cabinet.
• The metal clamp is for the house water line
(see Water Line Installation Instructions). It is not to
be used for the water tube from the water valve up
to the inlet.

CONNECT WATER TUBE TO INLET
• Squeeze the ends of the hose clamp (16) from
the kit with pliers and slide the clamp over the inlet,
located on the right side of the refrigerator.
• While still squeezing the clamp, insert the free end
of the water tube (3) into the inlet as far as it will go.
• Then slide the clamp downward to capture the water
tube in place.
• Using one of the adhesive-backed fasteners (4),
secure the water tube to the back of the refrigerator
about 1/2
″ below the inlet.
