Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The water line installation is not warranted
by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer.
Follow these recommendations carefully to
minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes)
in house plumbing can cause damage to
refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage
or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct
water hammer before installing the water
supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not
hook up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting
the water line, make sure the icemaker power
switch is in the O (off) position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas
where temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a
power drill) during installation, be sure the
device is insulated or wired in a manner to
prevent the hazard of electric shock.
All installations must be in accordance with
local plumbing code requirements.
Installation of the icemaker must be done by
a qualified service technician.
WARNING! Connect to potable
water supply only.
CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE
REFRIGERATOR
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the
refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator
power cord is not plugged into the
wall outlet.
• We recommend installing a water
filter if your water supply has sand or
particles that could clog the screen of
the refrigerator’s water valve. Install it
in the water line near the refrigerator.
Place the compression nut and ferrule
(sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as
shown.
Insert the end of the tubing into the water
valve connection as far as possible. While
holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided
to hold it in a vertical position. You may
need to pry open the clamp.
