Attach the fitting with the male thread supplied
with the water supply kit to the shutoff valve
(or pressure limiting valve, if fitted), and tighten.
NOTE:
PTFE tape should be used for a watertight

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the side
of the cupboard as close to the wall as possible.
Make sure there is sufficient length of tubing
[approximately 240 cm coiled into 3 turns of
approximately 25 cm] to allow the refrigerator
to move out from the wall after installation.
Insert and push the end of the tubing into the
fitting as far as possible.
With the free end of the tubing located in a
suitable container, turn the main water supply
On
and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.
Turn
Off
the shutoff valve after approximately 1 litre
of water has been flushed through the tubing.
Connecting the Tubing to the Shutoff Valve
Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be
sure the power is turned
OFF
and the power cord is
disconnected from the Power Outlet.
If your refrigerator does not include a water filter,
we recommend installing one in the water line near
the refrigerator if your water supply has sand or
particles that could clog the screen of the
refrigerator’s water valve.
Remove the refrigerator access cover.
Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve
(refrigerator connection).
Attach the fitting with the female thread supplied
with the water supply kit to the water valve and
tighten.
Insert and push the end of the tubing into the
fitting as far as possible.
Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold
it in position. You may need to pry open the clamp.
