WATER LINE INSTALLATION
(continued)
16
ROUTE THE COPPER TUBING BETWEEN THE
COLD WATER LINE AND THE REFRIGERATOR.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the
floor or wall (behind the refrigerator or adjacent
base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible. Be
sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet
[244 cm] coiled into 3 turns of about 10
″
[25 cm]
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out
from the wall after installation.
3
a. Remove the
plastic flexible
cap from the
water valve.
b. Place the
compression nut
and ferrule
(sleeve) onto the
end of the tubing
as shown.
c. Insert the
end of the copper
tubing into the water valve connection as far
as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten
the fitting.
d. Fasten the copper tubing into the clamp
provided to hold it in a vertical position. You may
need to pry open the clamp.
TURN THE WATER ON AT THE
SHUTOFF VALVE.
Tighten any connections that leak.
7
PLUG THE REFRIGERATOR POWER CORD
INTO A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
8
MOVE THE REFRIGERATOR BACK TO
THE WALL.
Arrange the coil of copper tubing so that it does
not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or
against the wall.
10
SET THE ICEMAKER FEELER ARM TO THE ON
(DOWN) POSITION.
The icemaker will not begin to operate until it
reaches its operating temperature of 15°F (-9°C).
or below. It will then begin operation automatically
if the icemaker is in the ON (down) position.
NOTE: The icemaker may double-cycle when it
first starts, causing some water spillage from the
icemaker into the ice bucket. This is normal and
should not happen again. The first few batches of
cubes should be thrown away, so that remaining
impurities in the water line will be flushed out.
9
CONNECT THE COPPER TUBING TO THE
SHUTOFF VALVE.
Place the compression
nut and ferrule
(sleeve) onto the
end of the tubing
and connect it to the
shutoff valve. Make
sure the tubing is fully
inserted into the valve.
Tighten the compression
nut securely.
4
TURN ON THE WATER AND FLUSH OUT
THE TUBING.
a. Turn the main water supply on and flush out
the tubing until the water is clear.
b. Shut the water off at the water valve after
about one quart (1 L) of water has been flushed
through the tubing.
5
CONNECT THE COPPER TUBING TO
THE REFRIGERATOR.
Before making the connection to the
refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power
cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
We recommend installing a water filter (available
from your local distributor) if your water supply
has sand or particles that could clog the screen of
the refrigerator’s water valve. Install it in the
water line near the refrigerator.
