Read all directions carefully before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

•If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to

prevent operation without water.

•All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

•Use copper tubing and check for leaks.

•Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

•It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin producing ice.

Tools required:

•Standard screwdriver

•%_-inch and 1/2-inchopen-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

•V4dnch nut driver

•V4-inchdrill bit

•Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a V4- inch saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper tub- ing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or s/_6-inchsaddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Cold Water Supply

The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your utility company.

Connecting to water line:

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

3.Find a 1/2-inchto 11/4-inch vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following

precaution must be taken: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4.To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from connection on lower left rear of

refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use 1/4-inchO.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5.Using a grounded drill, drill a V4-inchhole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

6.Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the 1/4-inchdrilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

7.Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink,

and turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water

pipe. Coil copper tubing.
