ROUTE AND ATTACH
THE WATER TUBE

Fasten the water tube to the back of
the refrigerator with adhesive-backed fasteners
(4), spacing the fasteners as shown to take up
slack in the tube. (It may be necessary to remove
the screw from the top right condenser mounting
clip for better access to the inlet.)

INSTALL WATER LINE CLAMP

Attach the water line clamp (strain relief) (6) from
the kit to the refrigerator. With the clamp directly
in line with the water valve, drive the screw (5)
from the kit through the clamp (6) at the indent
into the back of the cabinet.

The metal clamp is for the house water line
(see Water Line Installation Instructions). It is not to
be used for the water tube from the water valve up
to the inlet.

CONNECT WATER TUBE TO INLET

Squeeze the ends of the hose clamp (16) from
the kit with pliers and slide the clamp over the inlet,
located in the top right corner of the refrigerator.
(It may be necessary to remove the screw from
the top right condenser mounting clip for better
access to the inlet.)

While still squeezing the clamp, insert the free end
of the water tube (3) into the inlet as far as it will go.

Then slide the clamp downward to capture the water
tube in place.

Using one of the adhesive-backed fasteners (4),
secure the water tube to the back of the refrigerator
about 1/2

″ below the inlet.
