1. Install the shut-off valve, water filter and
automatic shut-off device as required.
Note
The solenoid valve is located at the rear
of your refrigerator-freezer.
2. Place a 1/4" OD copper tubing between the
shut-off valve and solenoid valve. Make sure
there is approximately 30" (70 cm) of excess
tubing behind the unit for easy connection.
IMPORTANT
The solenoid valve has a Metric R3/4 male
connection.
A R3/4(metric) to a 1/4" OD adapter and
cable clip are supplied with the icemaker.
3. Remove the cover cap (Fig. 13, 4) from the
solenoid valve (Fig. 13, 1). Install the brass
adapter (Fig. 13, 2) with sealing ring (Fig. 13, 6)
on the solenoid valve (Fig. 13, 1). Attach the
copper tube to the brass adapter (Fig. 13,
2). Secure the copper tube (Fig. 13, 3) to the
appliance using the cable clip (Fig. 13, 5).
4. Open the shut-off valve for the water supply
and check the entire water system for leaks.
Before the appliance is used for the first time,
a licensed plumber should bleed air from the
system.
5. Insert the electrical plug for the appliance into
the electrical outlet (Figure 12).
6. Move the combined refrigerator-freezer into
final position in the cabinet.

! WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD!
• Disconnect the water supply before
connecting the water lines for the
IceMaker. Make sure the refrigerator is
not plugged in and there is no electric
power going to the refrigerator.
• Failure to follow these instructions
could result in death or serious injury.
●
The water pressure must be between 21.8-87.0
psi (1.5-6 bar).
●
Use a 1/4 in. OD copper line to connect the
water supply to the solenoid valve. This is not
supplied with the refrigerator
(Figure 11).
●
A shut-off valve, such as the saddle valve
illustrated here, must be installed between the
hose line and the main water supply so the
water supply can be stopped if necessary.
Do not install the shut-off valve behind the
refrigeration unit.

●
If you have hard water, we recommend you
install a water softener. Also, a filter must be
installed if the water contains solids such as
sand.
●
All equipment and devices used to supply the
water to the appliance must comply with the
current regulations for your geographical area.
