CONNECTING THE WATERLINE

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.

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.

10. TURN THE WATER ON AT THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Tighten any connections that leak.

Reattach the compressor compartment access cover.

11. PLUGIN THE REFRIGERATOR

Arrange the coil of tubing so that it does not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against the wall. Push the refrigerator back to the wall.

Set the icemaker power switch to the ON position. The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of 15°F (-9°C) or below. It will then begin operation automatically if the icemaker power switch is in the I (on) position.
