Installation Instructions

Connecting the water valve tubing
Refer to the diagram below for the following steps.
1. Refer to the inset in DETAIL A and pull the plastic insert out
of the ll tube spout and discard it.
2. Locate the water valve tubing clamp (from the ice maker
kit), and note that one of the anges is made for a threaded
screw and the other side has a round hole. Position this
clamp with the round hole side facing up, and slide it over
the end of the spout (see DETAILS A, B and D). Thread a 1⁄2"
hex-head sheet metal screw into the clamp with your ngers
as far as possible. You will tighten the screw later.
3. Refer to DETAIL A, and position the metal water tube insert
as shown, then press it all the way into the water valve
tubing.
4. Refer to DETAIL B and D, and slide the end of the tubing into
the end of the ll tube spout as far as it will go (if the tubing
does not reach, pull as much as necessary up through the
clips), then tighten the tubing clamp screw as much as
possible. Pull on the tubing to make sure that it is secure.
If it slides out of the spout, push it back in, and tighten the
clamp screw further until the tubing is secure.
5. Press the tubing into the two clips
(see DETAIL C) you installed earlier on the back of the
cabinet. You will connect the free end of the tubing later.
6. Pull any excess tubing near the ll tube down through the
two clamps so it forms a straight line with a loop at the
bottom of the water valve.
