Connecting the Tubing to the Refrigerator
Before making the connection to the refrigerator,
be sure the power is turned OFF and the power
cord is disconnected from the Power Outlet.
If your refrigerator does not include a water
filter, we recommend installing one in the
water line near the refrigerator if your water
supply has sand or particles that could clog
the screen of the refrigerator’s water valve.
Remove the refrigerator access cover.
Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water
valve (refrigerator connection).
Attach the fitting with the female thread
supplied with the water supply kit to the
water valve and tighten.
Insert and push the end of the tubing into
the fitting as far as possible.

hold it in position. You may need to pry open
the clamp.
