Connecting to water line

1.Find a %-inch to 1%-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. Thii also keeps normal sedi- ment from collecting in the valve.

2.Measure from connection on rear of refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. This is the length of %inch O.D. copper tubing you will need for the job (length from connection to water pipe PLUS 7 feet [2.1 ml). Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

3.Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

4.Using a grounded drill, drill a %-inch hole on the wM water pipe you have selected.

5.Fasten shut-off valve to wld water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the %-inch drilled hole in the water pipe and that 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 overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (wiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to wnnect the copper tubing.

5.Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown in diagram. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go.

Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjust- able wrench. Do not overtighten. Turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.

Connecting to refrigerator

1.(On kit models, assemble water valve to refrigerator per kit instructions.) Route the copper tubing through the tube clamp provided as shown at left. Connect the %nch copper tube from the shut-off valve to the water valve at the lower, left rear of cabinet. Use a compression nut and sleeve as shown at left. Tighten the compression nut. Do not over-tighten.

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 periiic cleaning or a well is your source of water supply, a second water strainer should be installed in the W-rch water line. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer. Install at either tube connection.

4.Reconnect electrical supply to refrigerator.
