REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing

Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves

are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.

Consult with your licensed plumber.

8. FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

Turn the main water supply on and

flush out the tubing until the water is

clear. Shut the water off at the water

valve after about one quart (1 L) of

water has been flushed through the

tubing.

9. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR

NOTES:

• Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be

sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into

the wall outlet.

• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we

recommend installing one. If your water supply has

sand or particles that could clog the screen of the

refrigerator’s water valve, install the filter in the water

line near the refrigerator.

• Do not uses old hoses; only use new hoses provided

by the manufacturer.

1. Remove the plastic flexible cap from the refrigerator

connection.

2. Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto

the end of the tubing. (See figure 1).

3. Insert the end of the tubing into the connection as

far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the

fitting.

CAUTION: Check to make sure that leaks are not

occurring in the water line.

Fasten the tubing into the tubing clamp attached to the

back of the refrigerator.

First, loosen the screw fastening the clamp. Next, insert

the tubing in the groove. Finally, re-fasten the screw.

10. PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR

Arrange the coil of tubing so that

it does not vibrate against the

back of the refrigerator or against

the wall. Push the refrigerator

back to the wall.

11. START THE ICE MAKER

Set the ice maker power switch to the

ON (I) position.

The ice maker 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 ice maker

power switch is in the

ON (I) position.
