The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your water conditions require a second water strainer, install it in the 1⁄4" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer. Style 2 - Connection to Water Line 1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Remove and discard the shipping tape and the black nylon plug from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the refrigerator. 3. Before attaching copper tubing to refrigerator, flush at least 2 qt (1.9 L) of water through the copper tubing and into a bucket to get rid of any particles in the water line. 4. Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Do not overtighten clamp or sleeve. This will crush copper tubing. 5. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long enough, a 1⁄4" x 1⁄4" coupling is needed in order to connect the water tubing to an existing household water line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the end of the copper tubing. NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten. AB C D EFG A.
