5.Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is sol- idly 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 (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.
6.Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown in dia- gram. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw com- pression nut onto outlet end with adjust- able wrench. Do not over tighten. 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.
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 right. Connect the X-inch copper tube from the shut-off valve to the water valve at the lower, left rear of cabinet. Remove tape label from valve inlet and insert tubing until it bot- toms out. (Approximately ‘1~inch.) Tighten nut by hand as much as possible; then turn the nut an additional ‘12turn using a wrench. 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 periodic cleaning or a well is your source of water supply, a second water strainer should be installed in the X-inch water line. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer. Install at either tube connection.
4.Reconnect electrical supply to refrigerator,
