The Water Supply Line, You Will
Need:
Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade
screwdriver, and Phillips
TM
screwdriver
Access to a household cold water line with
water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
A water supply line made of 1Ainch (6.4mm)
OD, copper or stainless steel tubing. To
determine the length of tubing needed,
measure the distance from the ice maker
inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to
your cold water pipe. Then add approximately
7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be
moved out for cleaning (as shown).
A shutoff valve to connect the water supply
line to your household water system. DO
NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
connecting a copper water supply line to the
ice maker inlet valve.
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet
Valve
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power
source.
2.
Place end of water supply line into sink or
bucket. Turn ON water supply and flush
supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF
water supply at shutoff valve.

into water valve inlet as far as it will go (X
inch/6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve
inlet and finger tighten compression nut
onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a
wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 1.
if you use stainless steel tubing
- The nut
and ferrule are already assembled on the
tubing. Slide compression nut onto valve
inlet and finger tighten compression nut
onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a
wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 2.
5.
With steel clamp and screw, secure water
supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel
of refrigerator as shown.
6.
Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing
only), about 2Y2turns, behind refrigerator
as shown and arrange coils so they do not
vibrate or wear against any other surface.
