_ 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 tubing is recommended for the water supply
line=Water supply tubing made of %" plastic is not

recommended since it greatly increases the potential

for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsible
for any damage if plastic tubing is used for 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

To Connect Water Supply LineTo 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. Unscrew plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard
cap.

4. Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto
water supply line, as shown.

5. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it
will go (14 inch). Shde ferrule (sleeve) Into valve inlet and
finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another
half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten.

6. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to
rear panel of refrigerator as shown.

7. Coil excess water supply line (about 212turns) behind
refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not

vibrate or wear against any other surface.

8. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any
connections that leak.

9. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.

10. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (see ice
maker front cover for ON/OFF posihon of arm).

Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all
state and local laws and regulations.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, fiat-blade screwdriver,
and Phillips TM screwdriver

• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure
between 30 and 100 psi. (cold water only)

• A water supply line made of 14inch (6.4 ram) OD, copper

tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed,
you will need to 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 connechng the
water supply hne to the ice maker Inlet valve.

NOTE

Water line kit number 5303917950, available from your

appliance dealer at additional cost, contains 25 feet (7.6
meters) of 1/4inch OD copper tubing, a saddle type shutoff

valve (nonpiercing), (2) !/4inch brass compression nuts, (2)
ferrules!sleeves, and instruchons for installing a water supply

line.
