� Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain
above freezing.
� Connect to a potable water supply only.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used
on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4"
(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper or PEX
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.
Connect to Water Line
IMPORTANT: If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is
connected, turn off the ice maker.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the equivalent, supplied by
a 1/2" copper or PEX household supply line.
NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a
minimum 1/2" size copper or PEX household supply line is
recommended.
4. Now you are ready to connect the copper or PEX tubing to the
shutoff valve. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) soft
copper or PEX tubing to connect the shutoff valve and the
refrigerator.
� 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 onto copper
tubing as shown. (PEX tubing has compression sleeves
and compression nuts pre installed.) 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.
5. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and
turn on main water supply to 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.
6. Bend the copper or PEX tubing to meet the water line inlet,
which is located on the back of the refrigerator cabinet. Leave
a coil of copper or PEX tubing to allow the refrigerator to be
pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.
Connect to Refrigerator
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the short, black plastic part from the end
of the water line inlet.
3. Thread the nut onto the end of the 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.
4. Install the water supply tube clamp around the water supply
line to reduce strain on the coupling.
5. Turn shutoff valve on.
6. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
7. On some models, the ice maker is equipped with a built-in
water strainer. If your water conditions require a second water
strainer, install in the 1/4" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube
connection. Obtain a water strainer from your appliance
dealer.
