Installation
CAUTION
To avoid property damage or possible injury,
follow basic precautions, including the
following:
• Consult a plumber to connect
tubing to household plumbing to assure
compliance with local codes and ordinances.
• Confirm water pressure to water valve is between
35 and 100 pounds per square inch, 20 pounds
per square inch without filter.
• Do not use a self-piercing or
Both reduce water flow and can become clogged
over time, and may cause leaks if repair is
attempted.
• Tighten nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.
Finish tightening nuts with pliers and wrenches.
Do not over-tighten.
• Wait two to three hours before placing refrigerator
into final position to check and correct any water
leaks. Recheck for leaks after 24 hours.
• Verify the copper tubing under the sleeve is
smooth and free from defects. Do not reuse an
old sleeve.

Notes:
• Use copper tubing only for installation. Plastic is
less durable and can cause damage.
• Add 8' to tubing length needed to reach water
supply for creation of service loop.
1. Create service loop with
copper tubing (minimum 2'
diameter). Avoid kinks in the
copper tubing when
bending the service loop.
Do not use plastic tubing.

on copper tube end as illustrated.
Reminder: Do not use an old
sleeve. The nut and sleeve are
provided in the Use and Care
packet.
4. Place end of copper tubing into
water valve inlet port. Shape
tubing slightly. Do not kink – so
that tubing feeds straight into inlet
port.
5. Slide brass nut over sleeve and
screw nut into inlet port.
Place adjustable wrench on nut
(1) attached to plastic waterline
and maintain position.
Using second adjustable wrench
turn the lower nut (2)
counterclockwise and fully
tighten while holding the upper
nut in place.
Important: Do not over-tighten. Cross threading
may occur.
6. Pull on tubing to confirm
connection is secure.
Connect tubing to frame with
water tubing clamp (C) and
turn on water supply. Check
for leaks and correct if
necessary. Continue to
observe the water supply
connection for two to three
hours prior to moving the
refrigerator to its permanent
location.
