19. Secure the plastic water tubing to the rear of the cabinet with
2 plastic clamps.
WARNING
Only an authorized service technician should install the ice
maker kit.
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe per-
sonal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power
before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT
Ensure your water supply line connections comply with all local
plumbing codes.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• We recommend copper or stainless steel braided tubing for
the water supply line. You should not use water supply tub-
ing made of ¼" plastic. Plastic tubing greatly increases the
potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be
responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for the
supply line.
• DO NOT install the water supply tubing in areas where tem-
peratures fall below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice
maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, be sure to
maintain the softener so it is working properly.

20. Punch out the cutout on the access cover to allow for
the water valve (interior condenser models only). If your
refrigerator has a metal access cover, then you may need to
use pliers to remove the cutout.
21. Remount the access cover (interior condenser models only)
and the condenser if it was pulled out of the way because of
space constraints.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:
Basic tools: adjustable wrench, ¼" nut driver, and Phillips
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure
between 30 and 100 psi (2 and 6.9 bar).
• A water supply line made of ¼" (6.4 mm) copper or braided
stainless steel or polyline tubing. To determine the length of
tubing needed, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet
valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water pipe.
Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator
can be moved out for cleaning.
• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your house-
hold water system.
• Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) if using copper water
supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
