INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

4.Install the water supply tube clamp around the water supply line to reduce strain on the coupling.

5.Turn shutoff valve ON.

6.Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

7.On some models, the ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your water conditions require a second water strainer, install it in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain a water strainer from your appliance dealer.
