Read all instructions very carefully before starting. ESSENTIAL;
If running the fridge before setting up the water connection, turn ice maker into the OFF position to avoid operation without water.
All installations must certanly be relative to neighborhood plumbing work
Utilize copper tubing and check always for leaks.
Install copper tubing only in places where temperatures will continue to be above freezing.
If can take as much as a day for the ice manufacturer to begin with creating ice.
Tools needed;

Your ice box dealer has a kit available by having a
in. (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper
tubing. Before purchasing, make certain a saddle-type valve
complies along with your regional plumbing work codes. Don’t use a piercingВ
in. (4.76 mm) seat valve which reduces water movement
and clogs more easily.
Cool water supply
The ice manufacturer water valve includes a movement washer that will be utilized
as being a water stress regulator. The ice maker has to be linked to a cool water line with water force between 30 and 120 psi. If your nagging issue does occur, phone your energy business.
Linking to water line:
1. Disconnect disconnect or refrigerator energy.
Turn OFF main water supply. Switch on faucet that is nearest long
sufficient to clear type of water.
water pipeline nearby the fridge.
Horizontal pipe is going to work, however the following procedure
must certanly be followed: Drill in the top region of the pipe, perhaps maybe perhaps not underneath. This can help to keep water out of the drill. And also this keeps normal sediment from gathering when you look at the valve.
To look for the amount of copper tubing you will need,
measure from connection on reduced remaining backside of ice box to
water pipeline. Include 7 ft. (2.1 m) to accommodate going ice box for cleansing. utilize 14 in. (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter)
copper tubing. Be certain both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
Utilizing a grounded drill, drill a 14 in. opening when you look at the cool water pipeline
you’ve got chosen.

7. Packing Nut
Fasten shut-off valve to water that is cold with pipeline clamp. Be
certain socket end is solidly when you look at the 14 in. drilled opening within the water
pipeline and therefore washer is beneath the pipeline clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipeline clamp screws very carefully and
evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Try not to overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, particularly if soft (coiled) copper tubing is employed. So Now you are prepared to link the copper tubing.
Slip compression nut on copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into socket end squarely so far as it shall get. Screw compression nut onto socket end with adjustable wrench. Usually do not overtighten.
Spot the free end regarding the tubing into a container or sink, and
switch on main water supply and flush out tubing until water is obvious. Turn fully off shut-off valve regarding the water pipeline. Coil copper tubing.
Linking to fridge:
1. Connect the copper pipe into the valve inlet utilizing a compression
Sleeve and nut as shown. Fasten the compression 
nut. Don’t overtighten. Utilize the pipe clamp on the relative straight straight straight back of this
fridge to secure the tubing to your refrigerator as shown. This can help alleviate problems with problems for the tubing once the fridge is pressed straight straight right back resistant to the wall surface. Go on to step two.
2. Turn shut-off valve ON. Search for leakages.
