Read all directions thoroughly before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the
International Plumbing Code and any local codes and
ordinances.
Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will
remain above freezing.
Tools needed:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
Flat-blade screwdriver
⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches
¹⁄₄" nut driver
¹⁄₄" drill bit
Hand drill or electric drill properly grounded
NOTE: Your ice maker dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with
your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆"
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more
easily.
Connecting the water line
1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
2. Find a ¹⁄₂" (12.70 mm) to 1¹⁄₄" (3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the ice maker.
NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure
must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the
bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This
also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
3. Using a grounded drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.
4. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be
sure 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 packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly
and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not
overtighten the pipe clamp or you may crush cold water pipe
if it is soft copper tubing. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆"
(4.76 mm) saddle-type valve which reduces water flow and
clogs more easily.
5. 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.

Connect Water Supply

6. 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.
7. 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. Thread the nut onto the coupling on the end of the copper
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.

9. Install the water supply tube clamp around the water supply
line to reduce strain on the coupling.
10. Turn shutoff valve ON.
11. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
