IMPORTANT: Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flush the main water supply line to remove particles and air in the water line. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing the water line may help avoid filters and/or water valves from becoming clogged.
5.Connect the 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible codes approved water supply line to the refrigerator.
NOTE: If the main water shutoff valve is behind the refrigerator, a secondary water shutoff valve may be installed in line with the water supply line at the front of the product.
7.Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten the clamp or the sleeve. This will crush the copper tubing.
8.Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.
9.Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to the water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto the shutoff valve.
10.Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff valve ON.
11.Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Tighten any nuts or connections (including connections at the valve) that leak.
