The automatic ice maker requires a permanent water
supply to function correctly. During installation,
establish this water supply by connecting a copper
tube from the household water system to a valve at
the rear of the freezer.
W Wh ha att y yo ou u w wiillll n ne ee ed d::
• Access to a cold water line with pressure of 20-
120 psi. (System supplied with cold water only.)
• Copper tubing with ¼inch (6.4mm) Outside
Diameter (OD). Length for this tubing is the
distance from the rear of the freezer to your
house hold water supply line plus seven feet
(2.1 meters).
• A shut-off valve for the connection between the
household water line and the freezer supply line.
Do not use a self-piercing shut-off valve.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for the
water supply connection at the rear of freezer.

1. Ensure that the freezer is not plugged in.
2. Flush the supply line until water is clear by
placing the end of the copper tube in a sink or
bucket and opening the shut-off valve. Then turn
off water supply at valve.
3. Unscrew the plastic cap from the water valve
inlet at the rear of the freezer. Discard the cap.
4. Slide the brass compression nut, then the ferrule
(sleeve) onto copper tube.
5. Push the copper tube into water valve inlet as far
as it will go (¼ inch).
6. Slide the ferrule (sleeve) into valve and finger
tighten the compression nut onto valve. Tighten
another half turn with a wrench. Do not
over-tighten.
7. Secure the copper tube to your freezer’s rear
panel with a steel clamp and screw (See
Illustration).
8. Coil the excess copper tubing (about 2½ turns)
Behind your freezer as shown. Arrange
coiled tubing to avoid vibration or wear against
other surfaces.
9. Open water supply shut-off valve and tighten
any connections that leak.
10. Reconnect power to freezer.
11. Turn icemaker on and lower ice level arm to start
icemaker operation.
