Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
Locate a V
2
" (12.70 mm) to 1V4" (3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
■ Make sure it is a coid water pipe.
■ Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower rear corner of the
refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for
cleaning. Use
V
4
" (6,35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper
tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
Using a grounded drill, drill a V*" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.
A. Cold water pipe
B. Pipe clamp
C. Copper tubing
D. Compression nut E. Compression sleeve
F. Shutoff valve
G. Packing nut

Fasten shutoff valve to odd water pipe with pipe clamp. Be
sure outlet end is solidly In the TA" (6.35 mm) drilled hole in
the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp.
Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly
and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not
overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.
Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the compression
nut onto the outlet end with an adjustable wrench. Do not
overtighten.
Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and
turn ON main water supply and flush out the tubing until
water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.
Coil the copper tubing.
Connect to Refrigerator

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the shipping tape and the black, nylon
plug from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the
refrigerator.
3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long
enough, a V a " x V a " coupling is needed in order to connect the
water tubing to an existing household water supply line.
Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the end of the
copper tubing.
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench
two more turns. Do not overtighten.
