ROUTE THE COPPER TUBMG BETWEEN THE
COLD WATER LINE AND THE REFRIGERATOR.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the
floor or wall (behind the refrigerator or adjacent
base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible. Be
sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet
coiled into 3 turns of about 10" diameter) to
allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall
after installation.
CONNECT THE COPPER TUBING TO THE
SHUTOFF VALVE.
Place the
compression nut
and ferrule (sleeve)
onto the end of the
tubing and connect
it to the shutoff
valve. Make sure
the tubing is fully
inserted into the
valve. Tighten
the compression
nut securely.
THE WATERMD FLUSH OUT
THE TUBING.
Turn the main water supply on and flush out
a.
the tubing until the water is clear.
Shut the water off at the water valve after
b.
about one quart of water has been flushed
through the tubing.
THE REFRIGERATOR
Before making the connection to the
refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power
cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
We recommend installing a water filter (available
at service and parts centers) if your water supply
has sand or particles that could clog the screen
of the refrigerator's water valve. Install it in the
water line near the refrigerator.
Slip a 1/4-1/4
union nut (provided)
over both ends of the
copper tubing at the
rear of the refrigerator
and couple lines.
TURN THE WATER ON AT THE
SHUTOFF VALVE.
Tighten any connections that leak.
PLUG THE REFRIGERATOR POWER CORD
INTO A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
SET THE lCEMAKERFEELERA~ TO THE ON
(DOWN) POSITION.
The icemaker will not begin to operate until it
reaches its operating temperature of 15°E or
below. It will then begin operation automatically
if the icemaker is in the ON (down) position.
NOTE: The icemaker may double-cycle when it
first starts, causing some water spillage from the
icemaker into the ice bucket. This is normal and
should not happen again. The first few batches of
cubes should be thrown away, so that remaining
impurities in the waterline will be flushed out.
MOVE THE REFRIGERATOR BACK TO
THE WALL
Arrange the coil of copper tubing so that it does
not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or
against the wall.
