INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Tools and Parts

Tools Needed

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

■ Cordless drill

■ ¹⁄₄" nut driver and drill bit

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

■ #2 Phillips screwdriver

■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end

wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

■ Small ³⁄₄" round file

■ Tubing cutter

■ Scissors

■ Ruler

■ Level

■ Step stool (optional)

Parts Needed

■ Your freezer dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm)

saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.

■ Or you can purchase a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) copper tubing with

shutoff valve and a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) compression fitting (coupling).

■ Depending on water line connections, you may also need a ¹⁄₄"

(6.35 mm) nut and ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) ferrule.

Parts Supplied with Freezer

Remove the parts from the Ice Maker Adapter kit that was supplied with your freezer. Check to see that these parts are included.

Parts Supplied with Ice Maker Kit

Remove the parts from the ice maker kit. Check to see that all parts are included. Some of the included parts will not be used for this freezer.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the tubing from the water valve. It has been factory installed and leak tested. Do not move the compression nut that connects the tubing to the valve or the valve may leak after you connect it to the water supply.

Water Supply Requirements

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ If you turn the freezer on before the water line is connected,

turn the ice maker OFF.

■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

■ Use plastic tubing and check for leaks. Install plastic tubing

only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

Tools Needed

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

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

■ ¹⁄₄" nut driver and drill bit

■ Cordless drill

NOTE: Your freezer dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and plastic tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Water Supply Connection

Connect to Water Line

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 to 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, see the Use and Care Guide or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa), a booster pump can be inserted into the small tubing that goes from the cold water line to the reverse osmosis system.

If you have questions about your water pressure, refer to the Use and Care Guide or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

1. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

3. Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (12.7 mm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water

pipe near the freezer.

IMPORTANT:

■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

■ Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the

pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. To determine the length of plastic tubing you need, measure

from the connection on the lower left rear of freezer to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) plastic tubing. Be sure both ends of plastic tubing are cut square.

5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold

water pipe you have selected.

DEF

A. Cold water pipe

B. Pipe clamp C. Copper tubing D. Compression nut

E. Compression sleeve F. Shutoff valve

G. Packing nut

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.

7. Tighten the packing nut.

8. Tighten the pipe clamp screws evenly so washer makes a

watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the plastic tubing.

9. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut onto the

plastic tubing as shown.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the plastic

tubing.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before servicing. Replace all parts and panels before operating. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

1. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install freezer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Prepare Freezer

5. To remove the lower storage bin, pull the bin forward, lift up

and pull forward again to fully extend the sliders. Lift the storage bin off the sliders. Push the sliders back into the freezer.

6. Remove the ice maker cover mounting screws from the left-

hand interior freezer wall.

7. Install the ice maker cover behind the mullion using the

mounting screws.

2. Pull the freezer away from the wall so that you can access the

rear.

When Moving Your Freezer:

Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the freezer straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the freezer when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

3. Open the freezer door and remove the mullion basket clamp.

4. Lift out the small mullion basket.

A. Ice maker cover

8. Remove the tape from the fill tube located on the back of the

freezer. Make sure the fill tube is clear of all tape.

9. Remove the ice maker connection cover.

10. Pull the 4-wire harness out from behind the freezer’s back

cover as far as possible without forcing. Hang it over the edge of the cutout.

11. Reinstall the ice maker connection cover.

A. Connection cover

Install the Tubing and Water Valve

Prepare the Water Valve Tubing

1. Untape the coiled flexible tubing coming from the water valve

and straighten it.

2. Starting at the top of the compression nut on the water valve,

measure 32" (81.28 cm) and mark the location on the tubing.

3. Using a pair of scissors, make an even cut across the tubing

at the mark. Discard the excess tubing.

frame with ¹⁄₂" hex-head machine screws.

Connect the Water Valve Tubing

1. Position the water valve tubing clamp with the round hole

facing toward you and slide it over the end of the fill tube spout.

NOTE: One of the flanges on the water valve tubing clamp is made for a threaded screw and one side has a round hole.
