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.
Remove the plastic flexible cap from the refrigerator connection.
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing.
Insert the end of the tubing into the connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
