Tools needed:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

■Flat-blade screwdriver

■⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

■¹⁄₄" nut driver

■¹⁄₄" drill bit

■Hand drill or electric drill properly grounded

NOTE: Your ice maker dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄"

(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆"

(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Connecting the water line

1.Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

2.Find a ¹⁄₂" (12.70 mm) to 1¹⁄₄" (3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the ice maker.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure

must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

3.Using a grounded drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

4.Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten the pipe clamp or you may crush cold water pipe if it is soft copper tubing. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle-type valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

5.Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing for the cold water supply.

■Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.

■Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

6.Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn on main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.

NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final connection to the inlet of the water valve to prevent possible water valve malfunction.

7.Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet which is located on the back of the ice maker cabinet as shown.

8.Thread the nut onto the coupling on the end of the copper tubing. Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.

NOTE: To prevent rattling, be sure the copper tubing does not touch the cabinet’s side wall or other parts inside the cabinet.
