6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the

¹⁄₄ in. drilled hole

in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws
carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do
not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the

copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and

turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is
clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the
copper tubing.

Connecting to Refrigerator

1. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression

nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do
not overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the
refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown.
This will help prevent damage to the tubing when the
refrigerator is pushed back against the wall.

2. Turn shutoff valve ON.

3. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including

connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

4. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If

your water conditions require a second water strainer, install it
in the

¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection.

Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
