Connecting the Water Supply
Before installing the water supply line, you 
will need:
  1.  Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade 
screwdriver, and Phillips
TM
 screwdriver
  2.  Access to a household cold water line with 
water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
  3.  A water supply line made of ¼ inch 
(6 mm) 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). 
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 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.
  9.  To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal 
arm (freezer ice maker) or set the ice 
maker’s On/Off power switch to the “On” 
position (fresh food ice maker).
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can 
cause death or severe personal injury, 
disconnect the refrigerator from 
electrical power before connecting a 
water supply line to the refrigerator.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
•  Copper or Stainless Steel braided 
tubing is recommended for the 
water supply line. Water supply 
tubing made of ¼ inch plastic is 
not recommended to be used. 
Plastic tubing greatly increases the 
potential for water leaks, and the 
manufacturer will not be responsible 
for any damage if plastic tubing is 
used for the supply line.
•  DO NOT install water supply tubing 
in areas where temperatures fall 
below freezing.
•  Chemicals from a malfunctioning 
softener can damage the ice maker. 
If the ice maker is connected to soft 
water, ensure that the softener is 
maintained and working properly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line 
connections comply with all local plumbing 
codes.
  4.  A shutoff valve to connect the water 
supply line to your household water 
system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type 
shutoff valve.
  5.  Do NOT reuse compression fitting or use 
thread seal tape.
  6.  A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) 
for connecting a copper water supply 
line to the ice maker inlet valve.
