ROUTE THE COPPER 

 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

coiled into 3 turns of about 10” diameter) to
allow the refrigerator to move out from the 
after installation.

❑ 

CONNECT THE COPPER TUBING TO THE

SHUTOFF 

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.

❑ 

 

 THE 

 FLUSH 

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 of water has been flushed

through the tubing.

 CONNECT THE COPPER TUBING TO

THE REFRIGERATOR

Before 

 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

at service and parts centers)   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.

● 

Slip a 

union nut (provided)

over both ends of the
copper tubing at the

rear of the refrigerator
and couple lines.

❑ 

TURN THE WATER ON AT THE

SHUTOFF VALVE.

Tighten any connections that leak.

❑ 

PLUG THE REFRIGERATOR POWER CORD

INTO A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET.

❑ 

SET THE 

 TO THE ON

(DOWN) POSITION.

The icemaker will not begin to operate until it

reaches its operating temperature of 

 or

below. It will then begin operation automatically

if the icemaker is in the ON (down) position.
NOTE: The icemaker may double-cycle when 
first starts, causing some water spillage from the

icemaker into the ice bucket. This is normal and

should not happen again. 

 first few batches of

cubes should be thrown away, so that remaining
impurities in the waterline will be flushed out.

❑ 

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.
