1.
Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.
Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet
long enough to clear line of water.

” (3.81 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold
water pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Connect to potable water supply only.
Make sure it is a cold 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.
4.
Determine the length of copper tubing you need.
Measure from the connection on the lower left rear
of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to

6.
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with
the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in
the 1/4” drilled hole in the water pipe and that the
washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing
nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly
so washer makes a watertight seal.
Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper
tubing.
7.
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 compression nut onto outlet end with
adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
8.
Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink,
and turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing
until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the
water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.
CONNECT TO REFRIGERATOR:
1.
Attach the copper tubing to the valve inlet using a
compression nut and sleeve as shown.
Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten.
Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to
secure the tubing to the refrigerator, as shown.
This will help avoid damage to the tubing when the
refrigerator is pushed back against the wall.
2.
Turn ON shutoff valve.
3.
Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16” (4.76 mm) saddle
valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
WATER PRESSURE:
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30
and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate ice
maker. If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, quali
fi
ed plumber.
REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER SUPPLY:
IMPORTANT:
The pressure of the water supply coming
out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet
valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120
psi (207 and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected
to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the
reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to
60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is
less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if
necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system
to refill after heavy usage.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.

)
CONNECT TO WATER LINE:
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst
reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may
contain filterable cysts.
allow for cleaning. Use 1/4” (0.63 cm) O.D. (outside
diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of
copper tubing are cut square.
5.
Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4” hole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.
