Installation Instructions

3CONNECT THE WATER LINE

It may be necessary to remove the screw from the top right condenser mounting clip for better access to the water tube inlet .

Make sure there is enough plastic water line to extend from the water valve to well into the water tube inlet (15). Cut off any 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.

If the condenser mounting screw was removed, secure the condenser to the refrigerator by replacing the mounting clip and screw.

Do not overtighten the screw.

Fasten the plastic water line to the back of the cabinet with adhesive-backed fasteners (5), spacing the fasteners as shown to take up slack in the line. (It may be necessary to remove the screw from the top right condenser mounting clip for better access to the water tube inlet .)
