Connectingto refrigerator

NOTE: The first step for connecting the water line to your refrigerator is different depending on the type of water valve provided with your refrigerator. See the diagrams at right to determine the style of valve you have. (On kit models, assemble water valve to refrigerator per kit instructions.)

1.For style #l, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of the product and insert the copper tubing through the clamp, as shown at the right. Re- move the tape label from the valve inlet and insert copper tubing until it bottoms out (approxi- mately %-inch). Tighten nut by hand as much as possible; then turn the nut an additional l/i turn using a wrench. Do not overtighten. Re-attach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet. Skip to step 2.

For style #2, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of the product and insert copper tubing through the clamp as shown at the right. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a com- pression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Reattach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet. Move to step 2.

2.Turn shut-off valve ON. CHECK FOR LEAKS. TIGHTEN ANY CONNECTIONS (INCLUDING CONNECTIONS AT THE VALVE) OR NUTS THAT LEAK.

3.The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If local water conditions require periodic cleaning or a well is your source of water supply, a second water strainer should be installed in the %-inch water line. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer. Install at either tube connection.

4.After installation, connect the refrigerator to the electrical supply and push it back into place.

5.Check to make sure the refrigerator is level. (See “Leveling” on page 8.)
