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.
Remove the plastic flexible cap from the refrigerator
connection.
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto
the end of the tubing.
Insert the end of the tubing into the connection as far
as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
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.

leak.
Reattach the compressor
compartment access cover.
11. PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR

that it does not vibrate against
the back of the refrigerator or
against the wall. Push the
refrigerator back to the wall.
