8 Tighten the compression nut securely. For plastic tubing, insert the molded
end of the tubing into the valve and tighten the compression nut until it is
hand-tight, then tighten one additional turn with a wrench. Over-tightening
may cause leaks.
9 Place the end of the water supply line into a sink or bucket and flush the water
supply line with water until the water runs clear.
10 Unscrew the plastic cap from the water inlet valve and discard it.
11 Slide a brass compression nut, then a ferrule (sleeve), onto the water supply
line.
12 Push the end of the tubing into the water inlet valve as far as it will go or
¼-inch, then 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 overtighten.
13 Secure the water supply line to the back panel of your refrigerator with a steel
clamp and screw at the location shown on the illustration.
14 Coil the excess water supply line (about 2-½ turns) behind the refrigerator and
arrange the coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.
15 Turn on the water supply at the shutoff valve and tighten any connections that
leak.
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.
