~ ROUTE THE COPPER TUBING BETWEEN THE
COLD WATER LIHE AHD THE REFRIGERATOR
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the
floor or wall (behind the retligerator or adjacent
base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible. Be
sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet
coiled into 3 turns of about 10” diameter) to
allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall
after installation.
~ CONNECT THE COPPER TUBING TO THE
SHUTOFF VALVE.

b. Shut the water off at the water valve after
about one quart of water has been flushed
through the tubing.
E CONNECT THE COPPER TUBING TO
THE REFRIGERATOR.
Before making the connection to the
refrigerator, be sure the refi=igerator power
cord is not plugged into the wall outleL
We recommend installing a water filter
(available at service and parts centers) if your
water supply has sand or particles that could
clog the screen of the retilgerator’s water valve.
Install it in the waterline near the refrigerator.
❑ SET THE ICEMAKER FEELER ARM TO THE
ON (DOWN) POSITION.
The icemaker will not begin to operate until it
reaches its operating temperature of 15°E or
below. It will then begin operation automatically
if the icemaker is in the ON (down) position.
NOTE: The icemaker may double-cycle when it
first starts, causing some water spillage from the
icemaker into the ice bucket. This is normal and
should not happen again. The first few batches of
cubes should be thrown away, so that remaining
impurities in the water line will be flushed out.
❑MOVE THE REFRIGERATOR BACK TO
THE WALL.
Arrange the coil of copper tubing so that it does
not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or
against the wall.
