Connect to Refrigerator
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not
overtighten.
3. 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.
4. Turn shutoff valve ON.
5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
6. 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.
Complete the Installation
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
Discard the first three batches of ice produced. Allow 3 days
to completely fill ice container.
2. Move refrigerator to its final location.
Level Refrigerator (models with leveling legs)
The two leveling legs at the bottom front of the refrigerator must
contact the floor to support and stabilize the full weight of the
refrigerator.
1. Remove the base grille. See the Base Grille graphic in
“Refrigerator Doors.”
2. Lower the leveling legs by turning both legs clockwise until
they are firmly against the floor.
IMPORTANT: To avoid scratching the floor when you move
the refrigerator, adjust the front rollers to raise the leveling legs
¹⁄₈" to ¹⁄₄" above the floor. Once the refrigerator is back in its
final location, adjust the front rollers so the leveling legs are
again firmly against the floor.
3. Place a carpenter’s level on top of the refrigerator to see if it is
level from side to side.
4. Replace the base grille.
