Style 2
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the plastic part that is attached to the
inlet of the water valve.
3. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not
overtighten.
4. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure
the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help avoid
damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back
against the wall.
5. Turn shutoff valve ON.
6. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
7. On some models, 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" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube
connection. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest
appliance dealer.
Style 3
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray water
tube on the rear of the refrigerator.
3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long
enough, a
¹⁄₄" x ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) coupling is needed in
order to connect the water tubing to an existing household
water line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the
end of the copper tubing.
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench
two more turns. Do not overtighten.
4. Turn shutoff valve ON.
5. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including
connections at the valve) that leak.
Plug in Refrigerator
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Prepare the Water System
Please read before using the water system.
Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make sure
that the water system is properly cleaned.
1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. The On/Off
switch can only be accessed when the ice storage bin has
been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door, on
the left side of the wall that surrounds the ice storage bin.
Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting.
2. Make sure the water filter is properly installed.
3. Flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress
and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release
it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water
begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the
dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of
3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the
filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter
for use. Additional flushing may be required in some
households. As air is cleared from the system, water may
spurt out of the dispenser.
4. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. Move the
switch to the ON (left) position. See the Use & Care Guide or
User Instructions for further instructions on the operation of
your ice maker.
