Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is
connected, turn off the ice maker to avoid excessive noise or
damage to the water valve.
Connect to Water Line
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
Z Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper
tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end
squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet
end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten or you may
crush the copper tubing.
8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn
ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear.
Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Find a 1/2" to 11/4'' (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water pipe
near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Connect to Refrigerator
Depending on your model, the water line may come down from the
top or up from the bottom. Follow the connection instructions for
your model.

• Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
• Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must
be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the
bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This
also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from
the connection on the lower right rear of the refrigerator to the
water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1¼,,
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both
ends of copper tubing are cut square.
Style 1
1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the
copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and
sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not
overtighten. Confirm copper tubing is secure by pulling on
copper tubing.
2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when
coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to refrigerator
cabinet with a "P" clamp.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" hole in the cold water pipe you
have selected.

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4,,drilled hole in
the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly
and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not
overtig hten.
