Dl. Find a %-inch to l-inch vertical COLD water pipe
near the refrigerator.
(Horizontal
pipe will work
but extra precaubons
must be taken.)
D2. Measure from inlet on rear of refrigerator
to
water pipe. Add 7 feet to allow for moving re-
frigerator
for cleaning. This is the length of X-
inch O.D. copper tubing you will need for the
job (length from inlet tube to water pipe PLUS
7 feet). Be sure both ends of copper tubing are
cut square.
D3. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest
faucet long enough to clear line of water.
04. Using a grounded drill, drill a %-inch
hole in
the vertical cold water pipe you have selected.
Some water almost always remains in pipes. If
it enters the drill, it can cause lethal shock. BE
SURE YOUR DRILL IS GROUNDED.
Fasten a separate ground wire from drill to a
good ground that complies
to local electrical
codes. (If in doubt, consult
a licensed electri-
cian.) UNLESS PROPER GROUNDING
IS FOL-
LOWED, YOU ARE NOT PROTECTED AGAINST
SEVERE OR LETHAL SHOCK.
If you must use a horizontal
pipe, take extra
precautions:
Drill on the top or side of the pipe, not bottom.
This helps keep water away from the drill. Also,
it keeps normal sediment from collecting
in the
valve.
D5. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe
clamp. Be sure inlet end is solidly in the %6-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 connection.
Do not overtighten
or you may crush copper
tubing, especially if soft copper tubing is used.
Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

D6. Slip compression
nut and compression
sleeve
on copper tubing as shown in diagram. Insert
end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as
it will go. Screw compression
nut to outlet end
with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
Turn
ON main water supply and fl'ush out tubing until
water is clear. Turn OFF shutoff
valve on the
water pipe. You are now ready to connect other
end of %-inch copper tubing
to inlet tube or
water valve on back of refrigerator.

The Ice Maker is equipped with a built-in
water
strainer
located on the inlet side of the water
valve. 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.
012. Water Pressure Limitations:
Not below (15 P.S.I.)
or above (125 P.S.I.). If a problem occurs call
your Utility Company.
D13. PLUG IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR.
When you have your first batch of ice you may
throw away extra parts.
IMPORTANT:
It may take up to 24 hours for your Ice
Maker to begin producing
ice crescents.
To enjoy your Ice Maker most
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE ICE
MAKER SECTION OF YOUR USE AND
CARE GUIDE.
