Important Information
The following information is used throughout this Installation Guide. Read it carefully so you are familiar with it.
This Installation Guide gives you complete instructions on
how to install the Ice Maker Kit in your refrigerator-freezer and
connect a water line to it. Please read the guide carefully and
follow the instructions exactly as described. Also, make sure
that you observe all of the “safety” instructions.
This kit is designed so that almost anyone can install it;
however, a certain amount of mechanical ability is required.
Before you start to install your Ice Maker Kit, 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-lling 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 ow 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.
