Connecting the water line to the Refrigerator.
There are several items that you need to purchase to complete this connection. You
may find these items sold as a kit at your local hardware store.
• 1/4” compression nut • plastic tubing
• copper tubing • ferrule
1. Slip the compression nut through the supplied plastic tubing .
2. Tighten the compression nut onto the 1/4” compression fitting.
- If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut (not included) and ferrule (not included)
on copper tubing (not included) as shown.
- If you are using plastic tubing , insert the molded end of the plastic tubing into the
compression fitting.
3. Tighten the compression nut onto the compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut .
4. Turn water on and check for any leakage.
Only connect the water line to a drinkable water source.
If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make sure
you get a snug, leak-free connection.

Before installing the water filter, please remove the
top shelf.

)
2. Remove the fixed cap by turning it counter
clockwise. Keep the cap in a safe place for later use
if you don’t use a filter.
3. Remove the water filter from the box and put a
replacement indicator sticker on the filter as shown.
Place a sticker on the filter that dates six months
in the future. For example, if you install the water
filter in March, put the “SEP” sticker on the filter to
remind you to replace in September. That way you’ll
know when it is time to replace the filter. Normally, a
filter life is about 6 months.
