To connect the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve, you will need basic tools such as an adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips screwdriver. Here are the steps:
1. Before installing the water supply line, ensure that the refrigerator is disconnected 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. Then, turn off the water supply at the shutoff valve.
3. Remove the plastic cap from the water valve inlet and discard it.
4. If you are using copper tubing, slide the brass nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the water supply line. Push the water supply line into the water valve inlet as far as it will go (about 1/4 inch). Slide the ferrule (sleeve) into the valve inlet and finger tighten the compression nut onto the valve. Use a wrench to tighten the nut another half turn, but avoid overtightening.
5. If you are using braided, flexible stainless steel tubing, the nut is already assembled on the tubing. Slide the nut onto the valve inlet and finger tighten it onto the valve. Use a wrench to tighten the nut another half turn, but avoid overtightening.
6. Secure the water supply line (copper tubing only) to the rear panel of the refrigerator using the steel clamp and xxxx provided.
7. Coil any excess water supply line (copper tubing only) about 2 1/2 turns behind the refrigerator, ensuring that the coils do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.
8. Turn on the water supply at the shutoff valve and tighten any connections that may be leaking.
9. Reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical power source.
Please note that it is important to follow these instructions carefully and consult the Use & Care Manual for additional details and safety precautions.
