IMPORTANT
Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes
several tubing lines, a water lter, and a water
valve. To ensure that your water dispenser
works properly, this system must be completely
lled with water when your refrigerator is rst
connected to the household water supply line.
CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
To Connect Water Supply Line To
Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1 Disconnect refrigerator from electric power
source.
2 Place end of water supply line into sink or
bucket. Turn ON water supply and ush
supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF
water supply at shutoff valve.
3 Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet
and discard cap.
4 If you use copper tubing - Slide brass
compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve)
onto water supply line. Push water supply
line into water valve inlet as far as it
will go (¼ inch/6.4 mm). Slide ferrule
(sleeve) into valve inlet and nger tighten
compression nut onto valve. Tighten
another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT
over tighten. See Figure 1.
If you use braided exible stainless steel
tubing - The nut is already assembled on
the tubing. Slide nut onto valve inlet and
nger tighten nut onto valve. Tighten
another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT
over tighten. See Figure 2.
5 With steel clamp and screw, secure water
supply line to rear panel of refrigerator as
shown.
6 Coil excess water supply line (copper
tubing only), about 2½ turns, behind
refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so
they do not vibrate or wear against any
other surface. Do not kink tubing.
7 Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and
tighten any connections that leak.
8 Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power
source.
9 To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal
arm (freezer ice maker) or set the ice
maker’s On/Off power switch to the “On”
position (fresh food ice maker).
NOTE
These instructions do not cover after market
ice maker installation. Instructions in after
