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.

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
