3INSTALL WATER LINE CLAMP

Push the metal water line clamp (strain relief) (12) onto the lower flange of the cabinet back, directly in line with the water valve.

The metal clamp is for the house water line. (See the Water Line Installation Instructions). It is not to be used for the tubing from the water valve up to the icemaker.

4CONNECT THE WATER LINE

Ensure that you have sufficient length of plastic tube to extend well into the water tube inlet. Cut off excess tubing.

Squeeze the ends of the hose clamp (3) from the kit with pliers and slide the clamp over the water tube inlet.

While still squeezing the clamp, insert the

plastic water line into the inlet as far as it will go (approximately 1[25 mm]).

Then slide the clamp downward to capture the plastic water line in place.

Make sure the fill tube is aimed down.
