Connect the Tubing to the Refrigerator
Before making the connection to the
refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord
is not p/agged into the wa// out/et.
We recommend installing a water filter if your
water supply has sand or particles that could clog
the screen of the refrigerator's water valve.
Install it in the water line near the refrigerator.
[]Remove the plastic flexible cap from the
water valve.
[]Place the compression nut and ferrule
(sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown.
[]Insert the end of the copper tubing into the
water valve connection as far as possible.
While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
[]Fasten the copper tubing into the clamp
provided to hold it in a vertical position.
You may need to pry open the clamp.

Plug In the Refrigerator
Arrange the coil of copper 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 feeler arm to the ON (down)
position. The icemaker will not begin to operate
until it reaches its operating temperature of 15 °F
(-9° C) or below. It will then begin operation
automatically if the icemaker feeler arm is in
the ON (down) position.
NOTE: The icemaker may doub/e-cyc/e when it
first starts, causing some water spi//age from
the icemaker into the ice bucket. This is norma/
and should not happen again.
