Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these recommendations carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the O (off) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

Installation of the icemaker must be done by a qualified service technician.

WARNING! Connect to potable water supply only.

1CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR

NOTES:

•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 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.

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown.

Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in a vertical position. You may need to pry open the clamp.
