déplacements. Si un diable est utilisé, il faut soulever
le réfrigérateur sur le côté seulement.

STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE
• A cold water supply is required for automatic ice-
maker operation. The water pressure must be be-
tween 40 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route 1/4" OD copper tubing between house cold
water line and the water connection location.
• Copper tubing should be long enough to extend to
the front of the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to
accommodate bend leading into the water line
connection.
Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the
line of water.
• Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water
valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet.
The shut-off valve should be located where it will be
easily accessible.
NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a vertical water
pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal water
pipe, make the connection at the top or side, to
avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.
• Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe.
• Fasten the shut-off valve to the pipe with pipe clamp.
• Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell. Do not over tighten.
• Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the
end of the tubing and connect it to the shut-off valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve
and ferrule is tightened.
• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris. Run
about a quart of water through the tubing into a
bucket. Shut off water supply at the shut-off valve.
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in
many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure
a saddle type valve complies with your local plumbing
codes.
