To Connect the Water Supply Line To the
Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the
electrical power source.
2. Place the end of water supply line
into a sink or bucket. Turn ON the
water supply and flush the supply
line until the water is clear. Turn OFF
the water supply at the shutoff valve.
3. Remove the plastic cap from the wa-
ter valve inlet and discard the cap.
4. If you use copper tubing, slide brass
compression nut, and then the fer-
rule (sleeve) onto the water supply
line. Push the water supply line into
the water valve inlet as far as it will
go (¼" / 6.4 mm). Slide the ferrule
(sleeve) into valve inlet and finger
tighten the compression nut onto
the valve. Tighten another ½ turn
with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten.
