KitchenAid 18" Outdoor Automatic Ice Maker インストールガイド

Read all directions before you begin.

■

Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the 
International Plumbing Code and any local codes and 
ordinances.

■

Use copper tubing or Whirlpool supply line, Part Number 
8212547RP, and check for leaks.

■

Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain 
above freezing.

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation: 

■

Flat-blade screwdriver

■

⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

■

¹⁄₄" nut driver

NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or

 ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve 

which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long 

enough to clear line of water.

2. Using a 

¹⁄₂" copper supply line with a quarter-turn shutoff 

valve or the equivalent, connect the ice maker as shown. 

NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the ice maker a 
minimum 

¹⁄₂" diameter home supply line is recommended.  

3. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use 

¹⁄₄" 

(6.35 mm) O.D. soft copper tubing for the cold water supply.

■

Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the 
job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut 
square.

■

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

4. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and 

turn on main water supply and flush out tubing until water is 
clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.

IMPORTANT: Always drain the water line before making the 
final connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid 
possible water valve malfunction.

5. Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet which is 

located on the back of the ice maker cabinet as shown. 
Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the ice maker to be 
pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.

6. Remove and discard the short, black plastic tube from the 

end of the water line inlet.

7. Thread the nut onto the end of the tubing. Tighten the nut by 

hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not 
overtighten.

NOTE: To avoid rattling, be sure the copper tubing does not 
touch the cabinet’s side wall or other parts inside the cabinet.
