Connect the Tubing to the Refrigerator

Before making the connection to the refrigera- tor, be sure the refrigerator power

cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

One of the illustrations below will look like the connection on your refrigerator.

We recommend installing a water filter 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.

1 Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve (refrigerator connection).

2 Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown.

3 Insert the end of the copper tubing into the water valve refrigerator connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten

Start the Icemaker

Set the icemaker feeler arm to the ON (down) posi- tion. The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of 15°F (-9°C) or below. It will then begin operation auto- matically if the icemaker feeler arm 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.
