clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4in. drilled hole
in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.
Tighten the 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.
7. Slip the compression
sleeve and compression
nut on the
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression
nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
NOTES:
8.
Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and
turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is
clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the
copper tubing.
Connecting
to Refrigerator
1. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression
nut. Do
not overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the
refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown.
This will help prevent damage to the tubing when the
refrigerator is pushed back against the wall.
2. Turn shutoff valve ON.
3. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections
(including
connections
at the valve) or nuts that leak.

If your model has a base grille filter system, 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. For Style 1
lower the wire shutoff arm. For Style 2 move the switch to the
ON (left) position. Please refer to the "Ice Maker and Storage
