Prepare the Water Valve Tubing
1. Untape the coiled flexible tubing coming from the water valve
and straighten it.
2. Starting at the top of the compression nut on the water valve,
measure 32" (81.28 cm) and mark the location on the tubing.
3. Using a pair of scissors, make an even cut across the tubing
at the mark. Discard the excess tubing.
Install the Water Valve

terminals as far as possible. You can position the connector
with the wires at either terminal.

Install the Tubing Clips
1. Peel the backing from the adhesive strips on the tubing clips.
2. Press the clips against the back of the freezer in the locations
shown below.
Connect the Water Valve Tubing
1. Position the water valve tubing clamp with the round hole
facing toward you and slide it over the end of the fill tube
spout.
