Installation
Connecting the Water Supply
to Ice Maker
To reduce
the risk of injury or death, follow
basic precautions,
including
the following:
• Read all instructions
before installing
ice maker.
• Do not attempt installation
if instructions
are not
understood
or if they are beyond personal skill
level.
• Observe all local codes and ordinances.
• Do not service ice maker unless specifically
recommended
in Use & Care Guide or published
user-repair
instructions.
• Disconnect
power to refrigerator
before installing
ice maker.
• Water damage due to an improper
water
connection
may cause mold/mildew
growth. Clean
up spills or leakage immediately!
Materials
Needed:
• '/4" outer diameter flexible copper tubing
• Shut-off valve (requires a '/4" hole to be drilled into
water supply line before valve attachment)
• Adjustable
wrench
• '/;' hex nut driver
Notes
• You should only use copper tubing for installation.
Plastic is less durable and can cause damage.
• Add 8 ft. to tubing length needed to reach water
supply for creation of service loop.
2 ft. diameter
Create service loop with copper
minimum
tubing
(minimum
2 ft. diameter).
L_
Avoid kinks in the copper tubing
when bending it into a service
loop.
2. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet
port.
To avoid property
damage
or possible
injury,
follow
basic precautions,
including
the
following:
• Consult a plumber to connect W' O.D. copper
tubing to household
plumbing
to assure
compliance
with local codes and ordinances.
• Confirm water pressure to water valve is between
35 and 100 pounds per square inch, 20 pounds
per square inch without
filter.
• Do not use a self-piercing,
or _/,6" saddle valve.
Both reduce water flow and can become clogged
over time, and may cause leaks if repair is
attempted.
• Tighten nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.
Finish tightening
nuts with pliers and wrenches.
Do not overtighten.
• Wait two to three hours before placing refrigerator
into final position to check and correct any water
leaks.
Recheck for leaks after 2/4 hours.
• Verify the copper tubing under the sleeve is
smooth and free from defects. Do not reuse an old
sleeve.
Place brass nut (A) and sleeve (B)
on copper tube end as illustrated.
Reminder:
Do not use an old
sleeve.
Place end of copper tubing into water
valve inlet port. Shape tubing slightly - do
not kink - so that tubing feeds straight
into inlet port.
5. Slide brass nut over sleeve and screw nut
into inlet port. Tighten nut with wrench.
IMPORTANT:
Do not overtighten.
Cross
threading
may occur.
Pull on tubing to confirm connection
is
secure. Connect tubing to frame with
C_
water tubing clamp (C) and turn on
water supply. Check for leaks and
correct if necessary. Continue to
observe the water supply connection
for two to three hours prior to moving
the refrigerator
to its permanent
location.
7. Monitor water connection
for 24 hours. Correct
leaks, if necessary.
