■ Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from
the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the water
pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35
mm)
O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of
copper tubing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" hole in the cold water pipe you
have selected.
6. 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 washer makes a watertight seal. Do not
overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.
7. 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.
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. Coil
the
copper tubing.
Connect to Refrigerator
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Attach the copper tubing to the valve inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve, as shown. Tighten the compression nut.
Do not overtighten.
3. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure
the
tubing to the refrigerator, as shown. This will help avoid
damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back
against the wall.
4. Turn shutoff valve ON.
5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
6. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your
water conditions require a second water strainer, install it in the
¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain a
water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.
Complete the Installation
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced. Allow 3
days to completely fill
ice container.
