Connecting the Water Supply
To connect water supply line to ice
maker inlet valve:
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric

shutoff valve.
3. Remove plastic cap from water valve
inlet and discard cap.
4.
If you use copper tubing
- Slide
brass compression nut, then ferrule
(sleeve) onto water supply line. Push
water supply line into water valve inlet
as far as it will go (¼ inch / 6 mm).
Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet
and finger tighten compression nut
onto valve. Tighten another half turn
with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten.
See Figure 1.
If you use braided flexible
stainless steel tubing
- The nut is
already assembled on the tubing.
Slide nut onto valve inlet and finger
tighten nut onto valve. Tighten
another half turn with a wrench; DO
NOT overtighten. See Figure 2.
5. With steel clamp and screw, secure
water supply line (copper tubing only)
to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
6. Coil excess water supply line (copper
tubing only), about 2½ turns, behind
refrigerator as shown and arrange
coils so they do not vibrate or wear
against any other surface.
7. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve
and tighten any connections that leak.
8. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power
source.
9. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal
arm (freezer ice maker) or set the ice
maker’s On/Off power switch to the “ON”
position (fresh food ice maker).
