Installation
instructions
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently
used drinking
water line.
[i] SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER
SUPPLY AND UNPLUG
REFRIGERATOR
Turn on the nearest faucet (counterclockwise)
long
enough to clear the line of water.
[_ DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible, it
is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe.
When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water
pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than
at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from
the water pipe.
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using a self-
piercing valve), using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs
resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Take care
not
to
allow
water
to
drain
into
the
drill,
Failure
to drill a 1/4" hole may result in reduced ice
production
or smaller cubes.
F_ FASTEN
THE SHUTOFF
VALVE
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the
pipe clamp.
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins
to swell.
NOTE:
Do not overtighten
or you may crush the
tubing.

[] ROUTE
THE TUBING
Route the tubing between the cold water line and the
refrigerator.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or
floor (behind the refrigerator
or adjacent base cabinet) as
close to the wall as possible.
NOTE:
Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8
feet [244 cm] coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cm]
diameter) to allow the refrigerator
to move out from the
wall after installation.
[] CONNECT
THE TUBING
TO THE VALVE
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and
connect it to the shutoff valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the
valve. Tighten the compression nut securely
For plastic tubing from a GE SmartConnect 'M
Refrigerator
Tubing kit, insert the molded end
of the tubing into the shutoff valve and tighten
compression nut until it is hand tight, then tighten one
additional
turn with a wrench. Overtightening
may
cause leaks.

Shut the water off at the water valve after about
one quart (1 liter) of water has been flushed through the
tubing.
