CAUTION
To avoid property damage:
-Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of 1/4 inch plastic
is not recommended since these increases the potential for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be
responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply line.
-
Do not
install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
-
Connect the ice maker to potable water source that is not tied into a water softening system. Chemicals
from the softener may damage the ice maker, causing it to malfunction.
Connecting ice maker to water supply
WARNING: When connecting water supply line to the ice maker, make sure to disconnect the ice maker
from electrical power. This will avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury.
WARNING!
Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local and state plumbing codes. All
connections must be made by a licensed plumbing contractor. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in damage and/or harm.
Before installing the water supply line, you will need:
Adjustable wrench and a standard flat blade screwdriver.
Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 120 psi (138 and 827 kPa).
A water supply line made of 1/4 inch OD copper tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed, you
will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the ice maker to your cold water
pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet, so the ice maker can be moved out for cleaning.
A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. Do not
use a self-piercing
type shutoff valve.
A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

The following accessories are needed but not provided.
25 feet of 1/4 inch OD copper tubing
Saddle type shutoff valve (non-piercing)
(2) 1/4 inch brass compression nuts
