screwdriver, and Phillips TM screwdriver
Access to a household cold water line with
water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
A water supply line made of 1/4inch (6.4 mm)
OD, copper tubing. To determine the length
of copper tubing needed, you will need to
measure the distance from the ice maker
inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to
your cold water pipe. Then add approximately
7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be
moved out for cleaning (as shown).
A shutoff valve to connect the water supply
line to your household water system. DO
NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
connecting the water supply line to the ice
maker inlet valve.

from your appliance dealer at additional cost,
contains 25 feet (7.6 meters) of 1/4inch OD
copper tubing, a saddle type shutoff valve
(nonpierdng), two 1/4inch brass compression
nuts, two ferrules/sleeves, and instructions for
installinga water supply line.
