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.
