5. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe
with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is sol-
idly in the %-inch drilled hole in the water
pipe and that washer is under the pipe
clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the
pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so
washer makes a watertight seal. Do not
overtighten or you may crush the copper
tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper
tubing is used. Now you are ready to
connect the copper tubing.
6. Slip compression sleeve and compression
nut on copper tubing as shown in dia-
gram. Insert end of tubing into outlet end
squarely as far as it will go. Screw com-
pression nut onto outlet end with adjust-
able wrench. Do not over tighten. Turn
ON main water supply and flush out
tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shut-
off valve on the water pipe. Coil copper
tubing.
Connecting to refrigerator
1. (On kit models, assemble water valve to
refrigerator per kit instructions.) Route the
copper tubing through the tube clamp
provided as shown at right. Connect the
X-inch copper tube from the shut-off
valve to the water valve at the lower, left
rear of cabinet. Remove tape label from
valve inlet and insert tubing until it bot-
toms out. (Approximately '1~ inch.) Tighten
nut by hand as much as possible; then
turn the nut an additional '12 turn using a
wrench. Do not over tighten.
2. Turn shut-off valve ON. CHECK FOR
LEAKS. TIGHTEN ANY CONNECTIONS
(INCLUDING CONNECTIONS AT THE
VALVE) OR NUTS THAT LEAK.
3. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in
water strainer. If local water conditions
require periodic cleaning or a well is your
source of water supply, a second water
strainer should be installed in the X-inch
water line. Obtain a water strainer from
your nearest appliance dealer. Install at
either tube connection.
