To Connect the Water Supply Line To the
Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the
electrical power source.
2. Place the end of water supply line
into a sink or bucket. Turn ON the
water supply and flush the supply
line until the water is clear. Turn OFF
the water supply at the shutoff valve.
3. Remove the plastic cap from the wa-
ter valve inlet and discard the cap.
4. If you use copper tubing
, slide brass
compression nut, and then the fer-
rule (sleeve) onto the water supply
line. Push the water supply line into
the water valve inlet as far as it will
go (
¼
" / 6.4 mm). Slide the ferrule
(sleeve) into valve inlet and finger
tighten the compression nut onto
the valve. Tighten another
½
turn
with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten.
See below.
If you use braided flexible stain-
less steel tubing
, the nut is already
assembled on the tubing. Slide the
nut onto the valve inlet and finger
tighten the nut onto valve. Tighten
another
½
turn with a wrench; DO
NOT overtighten. See below.
5. With the steel clamp and screw,
secure the water supply line (copper
tubing only) to the rear panel of
refrigerator as shown.
6. Coil the excess water supply line
(copper tubing only), about 2
½
turns, behind the refrigerator as
shown and arrange the coils so they
do not vibrate or wear against any
other surface.
7. To turn the ice maker on, press the
ice maker’s On/Off power switch so
the LED is illuminated.
