Installation Instructions
5. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown.
This will help avoid damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back against the wall.
6. Turn shutoff valve ON.
7. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
8. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your water conditions require a second
water strainer, install it in the

” (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain a water strainer
from your nearest appliance dealer.
Style 2 - Connection to Water Line
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the shipping tape and the black nylon plug from the gray, coiled water tubing
on the rear of the refrigerator.
3. Before attaching copper tubing to refrigerator, flush at least 2 qt (1.9 L) of water through the copper
tubing and into a bucket to get rid of any particles in the water line.
4. Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Do not overtighten clamp or sleeve. This will crush copper
tubing.
5. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long enough, a

” coupling is
needed in order to connect the water tubing to an existing household water line. Thread the provided
nut onto the coupling on the end of the copper tubing.
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.
6. Turn shutoff valve ON.
7. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including connections at the valve) that leak.
