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. Tighten the packing nut.
Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer
makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may
crush the copper tubing.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut onto
the copper tubing as shown. 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.
8. 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. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil
the copper tubing.

the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help avoid
damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back
against the wall.

6. On models with ice makers, the ice maker is equipped with
a built-in water strainer. If your water conditions require a
second water strainer, install it in the 1/4" (6.35 mm) water
line at either tube connection. Obtain a water strainer from
your nearest appliance dealer.
Style 2
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray
water tube on the rear of the refrigerator.
3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not
long enough, a 1/4" x 1/4" (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) coupling is
needed in order to connect the water tubing to an existing
household water line. Thread the provided nut onto the
coupling on the end of the copper tubing.
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a
wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.
