• Clip the end of the ground wire to the
refrigerator cabinet.
IMPORTANT: To ensure a proper ground,
the end of the ground wire MUST be secured
to the refrigerator cabinet.
CONNECT WATER TUBE

TO INLET
• Squeeze the ends of the hose clamp (12) from the
kit with pliers and slide the clamp over the inlet,
located on the right side of the refrigerator.
• While still squeezing the clamp, insert the free end
of the water tube (3) into the inlet as far as it will go.
• Then slide the clamp downward to capture the
water tube in place.
• Using one of the adhesive-backed fasteners (4),
secure the water tube to the back of the refrigerator
about 1/2" below the inlet.

directly in line with the water valve, drive the
screw (5) from the kit through the clamp (6)
at the indent into the back of the cabinet.

• The metal clamp is for the house water line (see

Refer to the Water Line Installation Instructions for
connection to the home water supply. After water
line installation is completed, set the icemaker
power switch to I (on).
Even when the icemaker power switch is in the
I (on) position, power to the icemaker will be
interrupted when the freezer door/drawer is open.
This prevents ice ejecting from the icemaker from
missing the ice bucket and dropping into the back
of the freezer. Because power to the icemaker is
interrupted while the door/drawer is open, the
green power light on the icemaker will be off. To
make sure the icemaker is working properly, press
the freezer light switch located on the upper right
side of the freezer compartment. The power light
on the icemaker will come on.
Note: After installing the icemaker, do not open
the door/drawer for approximately 4 hours. This
will allow the freezer to reach the correct operating
temperature for making ice, and will prevent water
from spilling out of the icemaker mold.
Proceed with the appropriate step in the Installing
the Water Line section in the Owner's Manual and
Installation Instructions to complete the installation.
