Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use
1A"(6mm) OD soft copper tubing for the cold water
supply.
Measure from the connection at the front of the ice
maker to the cold water pipe. Add 3 feet to ensure
that you have the proper length. This is the length of
W' (6mm) OD soft copper tubing you need for the
job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut
square.
Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on
copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw
compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable
wrench. Do not overtighten.

Position the tubing so it can enter one of the two
access holes located at the right-hand rear of the

connections (including connections at the valve) or
nuts that leak. The ice maker is equipped with a
built-in water strainer. If local water conditions require
periodic cleaning or a well is your source of water
supply, a second water strainer should be installed.
Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance
dealer and install it at either tube connection.
