CONNECTING THE WATER LINE 3. DRILL A HOLE FOR THE VALVE Drill a 1/4" (6,35 mm) diameter hole in the water pipeline. Remove jagged edges produces after perforation. Make sure water does not reach the drill. Not performing the 1/4" (6,35 mm) perforation can lead to a low or smaller ice production. 7. CONNECT PIPELINE TO VALVE Place the compression nut and the copper pipe ferule at the end of the pipe and connect to the valve. Make sure the pipe is completely inserted into the valve. Tighten nut carefully. Saddle Type Shutoff Valve Compression Nut 4. TIGHTEN THE VALVE Tight the valve into the cold water pipeline with a tube trap.

TIGHTEN THE TRAP Tighten the trap until the sealing ring begins to grow. NOTE: Make sure it is not too tight, this can break the pipe. Washer Pipe Clamp Inlet End Allow water flow from the bypass valve (2) and close after draining 1/4 of a gallon (1L) of water. Clamp Screw 2 6. PLACE THE PIPELINE Place the pipeline between the cold water pipe and the refrigerator. Place it through a hole in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or next to the cabinet) as close to the wall as possible. NOTE: Make sure there is a sufficient amount of extra pipeline (8 feet [244 mm] coiled up three times with a 10" [25 cm] in diameter) to allow free movement of the refrigerator from the wall after installation was made. 9. CONNECT PIPE TO REFRIGERATOR NOTES: • Before making connection to refrigerator, make sure it is not connected to any energy source. If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, it is advised to install one. • If your water source contains sand or related particles that can travel to the valve, install a water filter near the refrigerator. 29
