Connecting to refrigerator
NOTE: The first step for connecting the water line to
your refrigerator is different depending on the type
of water valve provided with your refrigerator. See
the diagrams at right to determine the style of valve
you have. (On kit models, assemble water valve to
refrigerator per kit instructions.)
1. For style #1, disconnect the tube clamp on the
back of the product and insert the copper tubing
through the clamp, as shown at the right. Re­
move the tape label from the valve inlet and
insert copper tubing until it bottoms out (approxi­
mately %-inch). Tighten nut by hand as much as
possible; then turn the nut an additional turn
using a wrench. Do not overtighten. Re-attach
the tube clamp and tube to the back of the
cabinet. Skip to step 2.
For style #2, disconnect the tube clamp on the
back of the product and insert copper tubing
through the clamp as shown at the right. Attach
the copper tube to the valve inlet using a com­
pression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the
compression nut. Do not overtighten. Reattach
the tube clamp and tube to the back of the
cabinet. Move to step 2.
2. Turn shut-off valve ON. CHECK FOR LEAKS.
TIGHTEN ANY CONNECTIONS (INCLUDING
CONNECTIONS AT THE VALVE) OR NUTS
THAT LEAK.
3. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water
strainer. If local water conditions require periodic
cleaning or a well is your source of water supply,
a second water strainer should be installed in
the %-inch water line. Obtain a water strainer
from your nearest appliance dealer. Install at
either tube connection.
4. After installation, connect the refrigerator to the
electrical supply and push it back into place.
5. Check to make sure the refrigerator is level. (See
“Leveling” on page 8.)
