6.Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten, or you may crush the copper tubing.

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.

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.

8.Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.

9.Check for leaks around the saddle valve.

Connecting to Refrigerator

1.Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Remove the shipping tape from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the refrigerator.

3.Measure the distance from the shutoff valve to the opening in which the refrigerator will be located. Tubing must be extended from the shutoff valve into the refrigerator opening following specific guidelines. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

4.A ¹⁄₄" x ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm to 6.35 mm) coupling is needed in order to connect the water tubing to an existing household water line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the end of the copper tubing.
