10Connecting The Water Supply

To connect the water supply to the rear of your refrigerator:

1Ensure that the refrigerator is not plugged in.

2Flush the supply line until water is clear by placing the end of the copper tube in a sink or bucket and opening the shut-off valve.

NOTE

3Unscrew the plastic cap from the water valve inlet at the rear of your refrigerator. Discard the cap.

4Slide the brass compression nut, then the ferrule (sleeve) onto copper tube.

5Push the copper tube into water valve inlet as far as it will go (1/4 inch).

6Slide the ferrule (sleeve) into valve and finger-tighten the compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench. Do not over-tighten.

7Secure the copper tube to your refrigerator’s rear panel with a steel clamp and screw (see illustration).

8Coil the excess copper tubing (about 2½ turns) behind your refrigerator as shown. Arrange coiled tubing to avoid vibration or wear against other surfaces.

9Open water supply shut-off valve and tighten any connections that leak.

After connecting the water supply, see page 22 for information about priming an empty water supply system. Also read all topics in the “Automatic Ice & Water Dispenser” section to learn about normal operating procedures.
