abrasive cleaners. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see “Important Safety Instructions” cn page 3.

NOTE: Do not remove any permanerit instruction labels inside your refrigerator, or the Tech Sheet that is tastened under the front.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused,

grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord. Refer to the Electrical Requirements and

Grounding Instructions Sheet in your Literature

Package for more details. NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,

cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turi the

Refrigerator Control to OFF and then unplug the refrigerator. When you are finished with any of

these steps, plug the refrigerator in and reset the

Refrigerator Control to the desired se:ting.

Before you move your refrigerator int#I its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

ATTACHING

THE ICE MAKER TO A WATER

Read all directions carefully before you be@.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Unplug the refrigerator before installing ice maker.

Failure to do so can result in death or

electrical shock.

IMPORTANT:

e Use copper tubing only and check for leaks. @ Install ice maker tubing in areas where

temperatures are above freezing.

Tools required:

0 Standard screwdriver 0 7/16-inch and M-inch open-end wrenches or

two adjustable wrenches

8 X-inch nut driver

N-inch drill bit

Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE: Your appliance dealer has a kit available with a %-inch saddle type shut-off valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing type or G-inch saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Cold water supply

The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure limitations of 20-120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your utility company.

1MPORTANT:

* It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to

begin producing ice.

@ If operating the refrigerator before installing the

water connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to prevent operation without water.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the follow-

X-inch O.D. ing precaution must be taken: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps

normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

2. Measure from connection on rear of refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. This is the length of %-inch O.D. copper tubing you will need for the job (length from connection to water pipe PLUS 7 feet [2.1 ml). Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

3. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

5. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the X-inch drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not over-tighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on

copper tubing as shown in diagram. 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. Turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil copper tubing.

Connecting to refrigerator

NOTE: The first step for connecting the water line to your refrigerator is different depending on the type of water valve provided with your refrigerator. See the diagrams at right to determine the style of valve you have. (On kit models, assemble water valve to refrigerator per kit instructions.)

For style #l, disconnect the tube clamp on the

Style #I valve back of the product and insert the copper tubing through the clamp, as shown at the right. Remove the tape label from the valve inlet and insert copper tubing until it bottoms out (approximately %-inch). Tighten nut by hand as much as possible; then turn the nut an additional l/i turn using a wrench. Do not overtighten. Re-attach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet. Skip to step 2.

Water inlet

For style #2, disconnect the tube clamp on the

back of the product and insert copper tubing through the clamp as shown at the right. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Reattach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet. Move to step 2.
