14. Adjust leveling bracket (7) on Ice Maker (1). When the
gap between freezer wall and Ice Maker is the same at
top and bottom, then Ice Maker is level. Tighten screw
(6) when level.
15. Reinstall freezer shelf in lower position. Set ice
container (2) on shelf.
16. Connect wiring harness to water valve. Make sure
connection is tight.

NOTE
If your refrigerator has an interior condenser, it's a good
idea to connect the plastic water supply tubing and the
wiring harness to the water valve prior to mounting the
valve to the rear panel because of space constraints.
Once the valve is mounted, it's very hard to get your
hands in there to make the necessary connections.
Additionally, the metal tubing may have to be bent
slightly out of the way for the water valve to fit in the
space. Do Not kink tubing.

17. Two types of water valves can be used with this kit.
Follow the instructions which applies to the type of
valve supplied with your kit. See Figures 13A and 13B.
For valves with a threaded outlet (Figure 13A), push the
bullet-shaped end of the green tube into the valve and
tighten the plastic nut (finger tight). Then tighten it an
additional ½ turn with a wrench. DO NOT overtighten.
Figure 13A
For valves with a push-in connection with no threads
(Figure 13B), check the green hose to see if it has a
small black mark near the end without the formed tip
and plastic nut. If there is not a mark, use a measuring
tape and marker to place a mark 11/16 inch from the
end. The valve seals against the outside surface of the
tube with an o-ring, so be sure the end of the tube is
clean and not scratched. Grasp the tube just above the
mark and push it firmly into the valve until it bottoms
out. When pushed in to the proper depth, the mark
will line up with the end of the valve fitting. If the mark
is not even with the end of the fitting, the tube is not
pushed in all the way. To remove the tube, push inward
on the collar at the end of the fitting while pulling on
the tube.
