with all local plumbing codes.

 •  Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade

screwdriver, and Phillips

TM

 screwdriver

 •  Access to a household cold water line with water

pressure between 30 and 100 psi.

 •  A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4mm) OD,

copper or stainless steel tubing. To determine the 

length of tubing needed, measure the distance 

from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the 

refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add 

approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator 

can be moved out for cleaning (as shown). 

 •  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

a copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve
  1.  Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.
  2.  Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. 

Turn ON water supply and flush supply line until

water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shutoff 

valve.

  3.  Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and 

discard cap.

 4. If you use copper tubing - Slide brass 

compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water 

supply line. Push water supply line into water valve 

inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch/6.4 mm). Slide

ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten

compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half 

turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See 

Figure 1.

  

If you use stainless steel tubing - The nut and 

ferrule are already assembled on the tubing. Slide 

compression nut onto valve inlet and finger tighten

compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half 

turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See 

Figure 2.

  5.  With steel clamp and screw, secure water 

supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel of 

refrigerator as shown. 

  6.  Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), 

about 2½ turns, behind refrigerator as shown and 

arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against 

any other surface. 

  7.  Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten 

any connections that leak.

  8.  Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.
