WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
IMPORTANT
Your refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water
filter, and a water valve. To ensure that
your water dispenser works properly,
this system must be completely filled
with water when your refrigerator is
first connected to the household water
supply line.
NOTE
These instructions do not cover after
market ice maker installation. Instruc-
tions in after market ice maker kit
should be used.
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 (¼inch/6.4mm). Slide ferrule
(sleeve) into valve inlet and finger
tighten compression nut onto valve.
Tighten another half turn with a
wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See
Figure 1.
• If you use braided flexible stainless
steel tubing - The nut is already
assembled on the tubing. Slide nut
onto valve inlet and finger 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
2½turns, behind refrigerator as
shown and arrange coils so they
do not vibrate or wear against any
other surface. Do not kink tubing.

valve and tighten any connections
that leak.

power source.
