 CONNECTING REFRIGERATOR TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE 
A cold water supply is required for automatic 
icemaker operation. If there is not a cold water 
supply, you will need to provide one. See Installing 
the Water Line section.
NOTES:
• Before making the connection to the refrigerator, 
be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged 
into the wall outlet.
• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, 
we recommend installing one if your water supply 
has sand or particles that could clog the screen of 
the refrigerator’s water valve. Install it in the water 
line near the refrigerator. If using SmartConnect

filter. Do not cut plastic tube to install filter.
• Before connecting the water line to the house, 
purge the house line for at least 2 minutes.
1. If you are using copper tubing, place a 
compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the 
end of the tubing coming from the house cold 
water supply. 
If you are using the SmartConnect

 tubing, the 
nuts are already assembled to the tubing.
2. If you are using copper tubing, insert the end of 
the tubing into the refrigerator connection, at the 
back of the refrigerator, as far as possible. While 
holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
If you are using SmartConnect

 tubing, insert 
the molded end of the tubing into the refrigerator 
connection, at the back of the refrigerator, and 
tighten the compression nut until it is hand tight. 
Then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. 
Over tightening may cause leaks.

hold it in position. You may need to pry open the 
clamp.
