Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips'’'“ screwdriver
* Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
• A water supply line made of V a inch {6.4 mm) OD, copper tubing or braided water line. To determine the length of
copper tubing needed, you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the
refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out
for cleaning (as shown).
® A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type
shutoff valve.
* A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
■'NOTE: A water fine kit is available.through.Sears retail.or catalog stores at .additional.cost.'.
