Installation

Connect the tubing to water line

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to empty water pipes.

3.Find a 1/2 - inch to 1-1/4 - inch vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.

NOTE

Horizontal pipe will work, but the following precaution must be taken: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4.To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from the connection on the lower left rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1m)to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use 1/4 -inch O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5.Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4 - inch hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

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

7.Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not over tighten.

8.Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shut - off valve on the water pipe. Coil copper tubing.
