how to install the Ice Maker Kit in your refrigerator-freezer and
connect a water line to it. Please read the guide thoroughly
and follow the instructions exactly as described. Also, make

Before you start to install your Ice Maker Kit, you will have to
•
purchase a copper tubing kit that contains a "Regular Valve
and Clamp Assembly" (for refrigerators with an automatic
ice maker, or self-filling trays). The kit contains all of the
hardware necessary to connect your ice maker to the water
supply. You can purchase one at most hardware or plumbing
supply stores.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
NOTE: Do not use piercing-type, or 3/16" shut-off valves. They
reduce the flow of water to the ice maker, and are easily clogged.
Do not use polyethylene tubing to connect the ice maker to the
water line. Use only 1/4" (O.D.) copper tubing.
