7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the 

copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the 
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut 
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten. 

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and 

turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is 
clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the 
copper tubing.

1. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression 

nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do 
not overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the 
refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. 
This will help prevent damage to the tubing when the 
refrigerator is pushed back against the wall.

2. Turn shutoff valve ON. 

3. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including 

connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

 

4. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If 

your water conditions require a second water strainer, install it 
in the 

¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. 

Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
