6. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be
sure outlet end is solidly in the 1/4in. (6.35 mm) 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 seal. Do not
overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if
soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to
connect the copper tubing.
7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper
tubing as shown in the diagram. Insert the end of the tubing
into the outlet end of the shutoff valve as far as it will go.
Screw the compression nut onto the outlet end with an
adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and
turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is
clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.

NOTE: It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin
producing ice.
Please read before using the water system.
Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make
sure that the water system is properly cleaned.
f. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. The ON/
OFF switch is located on the top right side of the freezer
compartment. Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting as
shown.
NOTES:
• Make sure the base grille filter is properly installed and the
cap is in the horizontal position.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
2.
Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar
until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by
dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water.
Cleaning the system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes
and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be
required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out
of the dispenser.
3.
Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. Move the
switch to the ON (left) position. Please refer to the "Ice Maker
and Storage Bin" section for further instructions on the
operation of your ice maker.
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't
make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the
sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds
and what may be making them.
• If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a
buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker for each cycle.
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep
your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize
energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may
cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You
may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the
compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
• You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed
may increase as you open the doors or add warm food.
