Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the
floor or wall (behind the refrigerator or adjacent
base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible. Be
sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet
[244 cm] coiled into 3 turns of about 10" [25 cm]
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out
from the wall after installation°

Before malting the connection to the
refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power
cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
We recommend installing a water filter
(available at Service and Parts Centers) 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_

The icemaker will not begin to operate until
it reaches its operating temperature of 15°E
(-9 ° C.) or below. It wilt then begin operation
automatically if the icemaker is in the ON
(down) position.
NOTE: The icemaker may double-cycle when it
first starts, causing some water spillage from the
icemaker into the ice bucket_ This is normal and
should not happen again_ The first few batches of
cubes should be thrown away, so that remaining
impurities in the water line will be flushed out.

Arrange the coil of copper tubing so that it does
not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or
against the wail.
