CONNECTING THE WATER LINES (CONT.)

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4-in. drilled hole in the water pipe and the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

Slip the compression sleeve and the compression nut onto the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the compre_ion nut onto the outlet end with a wrench. A flare nut wrench works best, but an open-end wrench will suffice. Do not overtighten.

IMPORTANT: Before connecting the tubing to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator _wer cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

NOTE: If your refrigerator is equipped with an internal water filter, an external in-line water filter should not be used.

IMPORTANT: Tighten any _nnections that leak. Open the water at the shutoff valve.

Plug in the refrigerator.

Arrange the coil of copper tubing behind the refrigerator so it does not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against the wall.

Check for leaks.

Before connecting the water line to house, purge house line for 2 minute.

NOTE: It may take a few seconds for water to begin to flow as the internal tank fills and air clears from the lines.

Push the refrigerator back to the wall.

Set the icemaker switch to the ON position.

NOTE: The icomaker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of 15°F (-9°C). It will then begin operation automatically.

NOTE: Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 20 pieces).
