To connect water supply line to ice maker inlet valve:
01 Disconnect refrigerator from electric power supply.
02 Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply and
flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.
03 Unscrew plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard it.
04 Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (metal ring), onto water supply line,
as shown.
05 Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (1/4 inch).
Slide ferrule (metal ring) into valve inlet and tighten compression nut onto valve.
Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten.
06 With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of
refrigerator at location as shown.
07 Roll excess water supply line (about 2 1/2 turns) behind refrigerator as shown
and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.
08 Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.
09 Reconnect refrigerator to electric power supply.
10 To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm. (See ice maker front cover for on/
off position of arm.)
IMPORTANT: It takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing
ice. Air in new plumbing lines may cause ice maker to cycle two or three times
before making a full tray of ice. New plumbing may cause ice to be discolored or
have poor flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.
