To Connect Water Supply Line
To Ice Maker Inlet Valve:
1. Disconnect freezer from electric
power source.
2. Place end of water supply line into
sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply
and flush supply line until water
is clear. Turn OFF water supply at
shutoff valve.
3. Remove plastic cap from water valve
inlet and discard cap.
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 (¼" / 6.4 mm). Slide
ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and
finger tighten compression nut onto
valve. Tighten another half turn with
a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See
Figure 1.
If you use stainless steel tubing
- The nut and ferrule are already
assembled on the tubing. Slide
compression nut onto valve inlet and
finger tighten compression nut onto
valve. Tighten another half turn with
a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See
Figure 2.
5. With steel clamp and screw, secure
water supply line (copper tubing only)
to rear panel of freezer as shown.
6. Coil excess water supply line (copper
tubing only), about 2½ turns, behind
freezer as shown and arrange coils
so they do not vibrate or wear
against any other surface.
7. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve
and tighten any connections that leak.
8. Reconnect freezer to electrical
power source.
9. To turn ice maker on, lower wire
signal arm (side mounted) or set the
