Connecting to refrigerator

5.Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the ‘h-inch 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 over-tighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

6.Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown in diagram. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go.

Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjust- able wrench. Do not overtighten. Turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil copper tubing.

NOTE: The first step for connecting the water line to your refrigerator is different depending on the type of water valve provided with your refrigerator. See the diagrams at right to determine the style of valve you have. (On kit models, assemble water valve to refrig- erator per kit instructions.)

1.For style #l, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of the product and insert the copper tubing through the clamp, as shown at the right. Remove the tape label from the valve inlet and insert copper tubing until it bottoms out (approximately V4-inch). Tighten nut by hand as much as possible: then turn the nut an additional I/Z turn using a wrench. Do not over- tighten. Re-attach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet. Skip to step 2.

For style #2, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of the product and insert copper tubing through the clamp as shown at the right. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not over-tighten. Re-attach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet. Move to step 2.

2.Turn shut-off valve ON. CHECK FOR LEAKS.

TIGHTEN ANY CONNECTIONS (INCLUDING

CONNECTIONS AT THE VALVE) OR NUTS THAT LEAK.

3.The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If local water conditions require periodic cleaning or a well is your source of water supply, a second water strainer should be installed in the %-inch water line. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer. Install at either tube connection.

4.Reconnect electrical supply to refrigerator.
