Water Line

•A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 p.s.i.

•Route 1/4" OD copper tubing between house cold water line and the water connection location.

•Copper tubing should be long enough to extend to the front of the refrigerator. Allow enough to accommodate bend leading into the water valve.

Shut off the main water supply.

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.

•Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet. The shut-off valve should be located where it will be

NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a vertical water pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection at the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

•Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe.

•Fasten the shut-off valve to the pipe with pipe clamp.

•Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell. Do not over tighten.

•Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shut-off valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve and ferrule is tightened.

•Turn on the main water supply and flush debris from the line. Run about a quart of water through the tubing into a bucket. Shut off water supply at the shut-off valve.
