REINSTALL THE COVER

Reinstall the compressor compartment access
cover. This requires using the screws you removed
previously to
reattach the cover
to the back of
the refrigerator
case. This must
be reinstalled for
your refrigerator to
function properly.
The water line
should come out
at the water relief
slot at the right
side, above the
power line.
PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR

Arrange the coil of tubing
so that it does not vibrate
against the back of the
refrigerator or against the
wall. Push the refrigerator
back to the wall.
START THE ICEMAKER

Set the icemaker power
switch to the ON
position. The icemaker
will not begin to operate
until it reaches its
operating temperature

below. It will then begin
operation automatically
if the icemaker power
switch is in the ON position.
