6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the
¹⁄₄
" (6.35 mm)
drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the
pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp
screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal.
Do not overtighten.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

and turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until
water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.
Coil the copper tubing.

on the lower back of the cabinet.
2. Attach the copper tubing to the valve inlet using a
compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the
compression nut. Do not overtighten.
3. Insert the valve assembly into the compressor cover. Then,
fasten the valve assembly to the freezer cabinet with a
¹⁄₂

head machine screw.
4. Use the tube clamp on the back of the freezer to secure the
tubing to the freezer as shown. This will help avoid damaging
the copper tubing when the freezer is pushed back against the
wall.
5. Turn shutoff valve ON. Check for leaks. Tighten any
connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that
leak.
6. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your
water conditions require a second water strainer, install it in
