Connect the Tubing to the Refrigerator

Before making the connection to the
refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power
cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

We recommend installing a water filter if your water

supply has sand or particles that could clog the

screen of the refrigerator’s water valve. Install it in

the water line near the refrigerator.

Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water

valve.
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)

onto the end of the tubing as shown.
Insert the end of the copper tubing into the

water valve connection as far as possible. While

holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
Fasten the copper tubing into the clamp

provided to hold it in a vertical position.

You may need to pry open the clamp.

One of the illustrations below will look like the connection
on your refrigerator.

Turn the Water On at the Shutoff Valve

Tighten any connections that leak.

Plug In the Refrigerator

Arrange the coil of copper tubing so that it does not

vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against

the wall.

Push the refrigerator back to the wall.

Start the Icemaker

Set the icemaker feeler arm to the ON (down)

position. The icemaker will not begin to operate

until it reaches its operating temperature of 15°F

(-9°C) or below. It will then begin operation

automatically if the icemaker feeler arm is in the
ON

(down) position.

NOTE: The icemaker may double-cycle when it
first starts, causing some water spillage from
the icemaker into the ice bucket. This is normal
and should not happen again.
