Kenmore 795.7130-K manual Shut OFF the Main Water Supply

Page 27

iNSTALLATiON iNSTRUCTiONS

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

1.SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.

2.CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location for the valve

that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a

vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid

drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

3.DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using a self- piercing valve) using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Take care not to allow water to drain

into the drill. Failure to drill a 1/4 hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

. FASTEN THE SHUT OFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.

the tubing.

6.ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10 inches in

diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

7.CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.

8.FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

Turn the main water supply on

and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.

Shut the water off at the water valve after about one quart of water has been flushed through the tubing.
