WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
To Connect the Water Supply Line To the
Water Inlet Valve:
1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the
electrical power source.
2. Place the end of the water supply line
into a sink or bucket. Turn ON the water
supply and flush the supply line until
the water is clear. Turn OFF the water
supply at the shutoff valve.
3. Remove the plastic cap from the water
valve inlet and discard the cap.
If you use copper tubing - Slide the
brass compression nut, and then the
ferrule (sleeve) onto the water supply
line. Push the water supply line into
the water valve inlet as far as it will
go (¼"/6.4 mm). Slide the ferrule
(sleeve) into the valve inlet and finger
tighten the compression nut onto the
valve. Tighten another half turn with a
wrench; Do Not over tighten.
See Figure 1.
If you use braided flexible stain-
less steel tubing - The nut is already
assembled on the tubing. Slide the nut
onto the valve inlet and finger tighten
the nut onto valve. Tighten another
half turn with a wrench; Do Not over
tighten. See Figure 2.

IMPORTANT
Your refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water
filter, and a water valve. To ensure your
water dispenser works properly, you must
completely fill this system with water when
you first connect your refrigerator to the
household water supply line.
