3ROUTE THE COPPER TUBING BETWEEN THE COLD WATER LINE AND THE REFRIGERATOR.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the floor or wall (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible. Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about 244 cm (8′) coiled into 3 turns of about 25 cm (10″) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

c. Insert the end of the copper

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

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) 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.

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

7TURN THE WATER ON AT THE SHUTOFF VALVE.

Tighten any connections that leak.

5TURN ON THE WATER AND FLUSH OUT THE TUBING.

a.Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.

b.Shut the water off at the water valve after about one liter (1 quart) of water has been flushed through the tubing.

6CONNECT THE COPPER TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR.

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 (available from your local distributor) 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.

8PLUG THE REFRIGERATOR POWER CORD INTO A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET.

9SET THE ICEMAKER FEELER ARM TO THE ON (DOWN) POSITION.

The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of -9°C (15°F). or below. It will then begin operation automatically if the icemaker is in the ON (down) position.

NOTE: The icemaker may double-cycle when it first starts, causing some water spillage from the icemaker into the ice bucket. This is normal and should not happen again. The first few batches of cubes should be thrown away, so that remaining impurities in the water line will be flushed out.

10MOVE THE REFRIGERATOR BACK TO THE WALL.

Arrange the coil of copper tubing so that it does not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against the wall.
