• 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 and follow the instructions exactly as described. Also, make sure that you observe all of the “safety” instructions.
• IMPORTANT: A qualied service technician must install the water line and ice maker. • 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.NOTE: Do not use piercing-type, or 3/16" shut-o󰀨 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.

IMPORTANT:

• Connect to potable water supply only.

• Plumbing must be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

• Copper and PEX tubing connections from the household water line to the refrigerator are acceptable and will help avoid o󰀨-taste or odor in your ice or water. Check for leaks.

• If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the following part numbers: W10505928RP (7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed PEX), 8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or W10267701RP (25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).

• Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing. Tools Needed: Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

• Flat-blade screwdriver

• 7/16" and 1/2" open-end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches

• 1/4" nut driver NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve, which reduces water ow and clogs easier. Connect to Water Line IMPORTANT: If you have turned the refrigerator on before the water was connected, turn o󰀨 the ice maker.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long

enough to reduce water pressure in the water line.

3. Use a quarter-turn shut-off valve or the equivalent, served by

a 1/2" household supply line. NOTE: To allow su󰀩cient water ow to the refrigerator, a minimum 1/2" (12.7 mm) size household supply line is recommended.

4. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing to the

shut-o󰀨 valve. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) soft copper tubing to connect the shut-o󰀨 valve and the refrigerator.

5. Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job.

Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.

6. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut onto copper

tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

7. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink and

turn on main water supply to ush out tubing until water is clear. Turn off shut-off valve on the water pipe. Note: Always drain the water line before making the nal connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid possible water valve malfunction. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts. A. Sleeve B. Nut C. Copper tubing (to refrigerator) D. Household supply line (1/2" minimum)

8. Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet, located

on the back of the refrigerator cabinet as shown. Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the refrigerator to be pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service. Connect to Refrigerator Follow the connection instructions specic to your model.

1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the

copper tubing to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Conrm copper tubing is secure by pulling on copper tubing.

2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks

when coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to the rear panel with a “P” clamp, using the original screw in the panel slot above the valve.

3. Turn on water supply to refrigerator and check for leaks.

A. Copper tubing B. “P” clamp C. Compression nut D. Compression sleeve18 Final Installation Installing the access cover and forming the copper tubing

1. Top freezer models only: Add grommet to condenser to avoid

contact between valve and condenser area.

2. Reinstall the rear access cover on the refrigerator so the

water valve tubing is inside the cover, and the copper water line is outside (see the diagram below), then secure the cover with the hex-head screws you removed earlier. NOTE: For side by side models, gently route the plastic tubing through the slot in the metal access cover.

3. Loop the copper tubing coming from the water valve as

shown. Position the coiled copper tubing near the center of the unit so that it forms an “accordion-fold” (as shown in the diagram below) when it is moved to and from the wall. Copper tubing Installing the access cover and forming the copper tubing Place water valve tubing behind cover Form tubing loops as shown Rear access coverHex-head screwsHex-head screws Grommet19 Connecting the power/ Leveling the unit

1. Plug the power cord into its AC outlet, and gently push the

refrigerator back against the wall.

2. Place a level on top of the cabinet. If you need to re-level the

refrigerator, follow the procedure to adjust the front casters, as outlined in your refrigerator’s “Owner's Manual.”

3. Check the position of the ice maker. If it is crooked and needs

to be adjusted, loosen the bottom bracket screw and position the ice maker as desired, then tighten the bracket screw. WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.20 Starting the Ice Maker

1. IMPORTANT: Make sure freezer lights are on and freezer

door switch remains open when performing this step. Manually rotate ejector ngers 60 degrees towards a vertical orientation. To avoid damaging ice maker, ejector ngers should only be rotated in a clockwise direction (see illustration).

2. Wash out the ice bucket, and then slide it under the ice maker

(see the side diagram) as far as it will go. The ice bucket will be sitting on top of the freezer shelf. IMPORTANT: On top-mount models without a full-width freezer shelf, you will need to place the ice bucket on top of the inverted ice tray shelf. First, position the ice tray shelf face down so that the shorter side is alongside the freezer wall (see DETAIL A). Then insert the tabs on the shorter side of the shelf into the slots on the edge of the freezer oor. This will hold the shelf in position. Next, place the ice bucket on top of the inverted ice tray shelf and slide it under the ice maker (see side diagram). The ice maker will not function properly if the ice bucket is placed directly on the freezer oor.

3. Place the items back into the freezer compartment.

4. Lower the arm on the ice maker (see the side diagram) to its

“on” position, and close the freezer door. The ice maker will begin to make ice within 24 hours. NOTE: It usually takes approximately 24 hours for the ice maker to begin producing ice. Once ice is available, you may notice that it has an “off taste.” If this happens, make two or three batches of ice and discard them. After that, the “off- taste” should be gone. If you have any problems, refer to “Troubleshooting” section. This completes the installation of your Ice Maker. Installing the ice bucket Slots Tabs DETAIL A Turning the ice maker on

1. The Ice Maker water valve contains a ow washer that acts

like a pressure regulator to control the water ow. For the Ice Maker to work properly, the water pressure in your home must be between 20 and 120 pounds per-square-inch (psi). If you encounter problems with your Ice Maker’s ability to produce ice, call your water utility company and have the water pressure checked.

2. The Ice Maker’s water valve is equipped with two strainers:
