Kenmore 625.38454 owner manual To Disconnect Tubing

This system includes push-to-connect fittings for quick tubing connections at most locations. To make tubing connections with the fittings, do the following:

1.Allowing some slack, measure and cut a length of 1/4" tubing to connect between the supply fitting and the filter system inlet (See Figure 1). Use a sharp cutter or knife to cut the end of tubing square.

2.inspect the tubing, about 1" from end, to be sure there are no nicks, scratches or other rough spots, if needed cut the tubing again.

3.Push tubing through the collet and all the way into fit- ting. Full engagement is 11/16" for 1/4" tubing. Pull on the tubing to be sure that it is held firmly in the fit- ting.

if more tubing is required, see parts list at the end of this manual.

Push the collet and hold, then pull the tubing out (See Figure 8).
