Connect the Water Supply
(on some models)
Connect to Water Line
1. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a 1/2" to 1¼" (12.7 mm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold
water pipe near the freezer.
IMPORTANT:
■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
■ 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 plastic tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower-left rear of freezer to the
water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use
1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) plastic tubing.
Be sure both ends of plastic tubing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.
6. Fasten the shut-off valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4" (6.35 mm)
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 plastic tubing.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
plastic 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 shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil the
plastic tubing.
Connect to Freezer
1. Attach the plastic tube to the valve inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do
not overtighten.
2. Use the tube clamp on the back of the freezer to fasten the
tubing to the freezer as shown. This will help avoid damage
to the tubing when the freezer is pushed back against the
wall.
3. Turn shut-off valve on.
4. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
5. 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.
6. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
