INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR (Cont.)
1
CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR
(icemaker and dispenser models)
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be
sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into
the wall outlet.
• Before connecting the water line to the house, purge
the house line for at least 2 minutes.
• Some models have the refrigerator connection at
the water valve (Configuration 1). Other models
have the refrigerator connection at the end of tubing
located outside the compressor compartment access
cover (Configuration 2 & 3).
• On Configuration 1 Models, the
refrigeration connection is at the
water valve, remove the plastic
flexible cap, as shown here.
Water supply connection.
If you are using copper tubing, place a
compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of
the tubing coming from the house cold water supply.
If you are using Universal water line tubing, the
nuts are already assembled to the tubing.
Refrigerator Connection.
If you are using copper tubing, insert the end of
the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at the
back of the refrigerator, as far as possible. While
holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
If you are using Universal water line tubing,
insert the molded end of the tubing into the
refrigerator connection, at the back of the
refrigerator, and tighten the compression nut until it
is hand tight. Then tighten one additional turn with a
wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.
