9. CONNECT
THE TUBING
TO THE
REFRIGERATOR
NOTE:
• Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be
sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into
the wall outlet.
• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter,
we recommend installing one if your water supply
has sand or particles that could clog the screen of
the refrigerator's water valve. Install the filter in the
water line near the refrigerator.
1. Remove the plastic flexible
cap from the water valve.
2. Place the compression nut
and ferrule (sleeve) onto
the end of the tubing as shown.
