Remove and discard the short, black plastic tube from the
end of the water line inlet.
Thread the nut onto the coupling on the end of the tubing.
Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two
more turns. Do not overtighten.
NOTE: To avoid rattling, be sure the copper tubing does not
touch the cabinet's side wall or other parts inside the cabinet.

Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use 1/4"
(6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing for the cold water supply.
• Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the
job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut
square.
Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper
tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end
squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto
outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and
turn on main water supply and flush out tubing until water is
clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.
NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final
connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid possible
water valve malfunction.
Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet which is
located on the back of the ice maker cabinet as shown.
Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the ice maker to be
pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.

8. Install the water supply tube clamp around the water supply
line to reduce strain on the coupling.

10. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
Gravity Drain System
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with all
state and local codes and ordinances. If the ice maker is
provided with a gravity drain system, follow these guidelines
when installing drain lines. This will help keep water from flowing
back into the ice maker storage bin and potentially flowing onto
the floor causing water damage.
Drain lines must have a minimum of 5/8"(15.88 mm) inside
diameter.
Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" (2.54 cm drop per
122 cm) of run or 1/4"drop per 12" (6.35 mm per 30.48 cm) of
run and must not have low points where water can settle.
• The floor drains must be large enough to accommodate
drainage from all drains.
• The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 1V2"(3.81 cm) to
2" (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer installed directly below the
outlet of the drain tube as shown. You must maintain a
1" (2.54 cm) air gap between the drain hose and the
standpipe.
• It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up to
the drain inlet.
