WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury or death, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before installing ice maker.
• Do not attempt installation if instructions are not
understood or if they are beyond personal skill
level.
• Observe all local codes and ordinances.
• Do not service ice maker unless specifically
recommended in Use & Care Guide or published
user-repair instructions.
• Disconnect power to refrigerator before installing
ice maker.
• Water damage due to an improper water
connection may cause mold/mildew growth.
Clean up spills or leakage immediately.
CAUTION
To avoid property damage or possible injury,
follow basic precautions, including the
following:
• Consult a plumber to connect
tubing to household plumbing to assure
compliance with local codes and ordinances.
• Confirm water pressure to water valve is between
35 and 100 pounds per square inch. 20 pounds
per square inch if there is not a water filter.
• Do not use a self-piercing, or
Both reduce water flow and can become clogged
over time, and may cause leaks if repair is
attempted.
• Tighten nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.
Finish tightening nuts with pliers and wrenches.
Do not overtighten.
• Wait 2-3 hours before placing refrigerator into final
position to check and correct any water leaks.
Recheck for leaks after 24 hours.
• Verify the copper tubing under the sleeve is
smooth and free from defects. Do not reuse an old
sleeve.

Note
• Add 8' to tubing length needed to reach water
supply for creation of service loop.
1. Create service loop with copper
tubing (minimum 2' diameter).
Avoid kinks in the copper tubing
when bending it into a service
loop.
2. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet
port.
3. Place brass nut (A) and sleeve (B) on
copper tube end as illustrated.
Reminder: Do not use an old
sleeve.
4. Place end of copper tubing into
water valve inlet port. Shape tubing
slightly. Do not kink – so that tubing feeds
straight into inlet port.
5. Slide brass nut over sleeve and screw nut
into inlet port. Tighten nut with wrench.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten. Cross
threading may occur.
6. Pull on tubing to confirm connection is
secure. Connect tubing to frame with
water tubing clamp (C) and turn on
water supply. Check for leaks and
correct if necessary. Continue to
observe the water supply connection
for two to three hours prior to moving
the refrigerator to its permanent
location.
7. Monitor water connection for 24 hours. Correct
leaks, if necessary.
