9.CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE

REFRIGERATOR

NOTES:

*Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

°If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we recommend installing one. If your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the refrigerator's water valve, install the filter in the water line near the refrigerator.

°Do not use old hoses; only use new hoses provided by the manufacturer. For more information caii 1-800-4-MY-

HOME®.

1.Remove the plastic flexible cap from the refrigerator connection.

2.Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing. (See figure 1)

3.Insert the end of the tubing into the connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

CAUTION: Review that leaks are not occurring in the water line.

Back of refrigerator

NOTE: Do not overtighten or you may crush the tubing.

&ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator. Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wail or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet] as close to the wail as possible.

NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about 8 feet (2.4 m) coiled into 3 turns of about 10" (254 mm) diameter]

to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wail after installation.

7.CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.
