WATER-LINE CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

FOR INSTALLED (MODULAR) ICE MAKERS

Important Information

 This manual gives you complete instructions on how to

connect a water line to an ice maker already installed in your

SUMMIT refrigerator. Please read the manual carefully and

follow the instructions exactly as described. Make sure you

observe all safety instructions.

 A certain amount of mechanical ability is required to complete

the water connection process.

 You will have to purchase a copper tubing kit that contains a

"Regular Valve and Clamp Assembly" (for refrigerators with an

automatic ice maker, or self-filling trays). The kit contains all

of the hardware necessary to connect your ice maker to the

water supply. You can purchase one at most hardware or

plumbing supply stores.

 DO NOT USE PIERCING-TYPE OR 3/16" SHUT-OFF

VALVES. They reduce the flow of water to the ice maker and

are easily clogged.

 DO NOT USE POLYETHYLENE TUBING to connect the ice

maker to the water line. Use only 1/4" (O.D.) copper tubing.

 CUSTOMER INSTALLATION IS NOT WARRANTED BY THE

REFRIGERATOR OR ICE MAKER MANUFACTURER.

1 Installing the Water Line Choosing a location 1. Open the copper tubing kit that you purchased previously, and lay the contents neatly on a table where you can identify them easily.
PAGE 3
2 Routing the copper tubing Refer to the diagram on the side for the following steps. 1. Uncoil the necessary length of copper tubing and straighten it, then route the end of the tubing through the access hole you drilled to the location you have chosen to install the shut-off valve. Straighten only enough of the copper tubing to reach this location. Leave the rest coiled near the access hole. 2.

3 Installing the shut-off valve Refer to the diagram below for the following steps. 1. Locate the shut-off valve and the front pipe clamp (with the threaded hole in the center) from the copper tubing kit. Then, being careful not to cross-thread the valve, screw the end with the pilot tube into the threaded hole of the clamp. Hand-tighten the valve as far as it will go (the threaded shaft is slightly tapered and can only be tightened so far). 2.

4 Connecting the copper tubing to the shut-off valve Refer to the diagram below for the following steps. 1. Straighten a 2" section of copper tubing and make sure that the opening is round and cut evenly across the end. If necessary, use a tubing cutter (or a hacksaw) and cut the end off, then file it so it is even, and remove any burrs from around the inside and outside edges so it is smooth and round. When you are finished, clean the filings from inside the tubing as much as possible. 2.

5 Connecting the copper tubing to the water valve Refer to the diagram below for the following steps. 1. Check to make sure that the free end of the tubing is round and cut even. If necessary, prepare the end in the same manner as you did earlier. Be sure to clean the filings from inside the tubing after you prepare the end. When you perform the next step, be careful not to kink the copper tubing. 2. Starting at the free end, straighten approximately 20" of the copper tubing. 3.

6 Turning the water on NOTE: Be very careful when you tighten the compression nuts that you do not overtighten them and destroy the compression sleeving and the end of the soft copper tubing. If this happens, you will have to cut off the end of the tubing, purchase a new compression sleeve, and start over. Be careful and go slowly! 1. Turn on the water supply and check the shut-off valve for leakage.

7 Final Installation Forming the copper tubing Loop the copper tubing coming from the water valve as shown. Position the coiled copper tubing near the center of the unit so that it forms an "accordion-fold" (as shown in the diagram below) when it is moved toand-from the wall.

8 Connecting the power/Leveling the unit 1. Plug the power cord into its AC outlet, and carefully push the refrigerator back against the wall 2. Place a level on top of the cabinet. If you need to re-level the refrigerator, follow the procedure to adjust the front casters, as outlined in your refrigerator's Use and Care Guide. 3. Check the position of the ice maker.
PAGE 10
9 Starting the Ice Maker 1. Wash out the ice bucket, and then slide it under the ice maker (see the side diagram) as far as it will go. The ice bucket will be sitting on top of the freezer shelf. 2. Place the items back into the freezer compartment. 3. Lower the arm on the ice maker (see diagram below) to its "on" position, and close the freezer door. The ice maker will begin to make ice within 24 hours. NOTE: It usually takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice.
PAGE 11
10 Troubleshooting Operational notes 1. The Ice Maker water valve contains a flow washer that acts like a pressure regulator to control the water flow. For the Ice maker to work properly, the water pressure in your home must be between 20 and 120 pounds-persquare-inch (psi). If you encounter problems with your Ice Maker's ability to product ice, call your water utility company and have the water pressure checked. 2.
