11INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSConnecting the Water-Supply LineThis consists of two options in which either: 1) code-approved flexible tubing, or 2) copper tubing, is attached tothe main water-supply shut-off valve.Style 1: Flex Tube to Shut-Off ValveFirst, review the directions. Ensure you have a minimum7-ft. code-approved, flexible supply line.1. (With the refrigerator unplugged) Connect the flextubing to the water shut-off valve by threading theprovided nut onto the valve.2. (With the open end of the tubing in a bucket) Turnon the shut-off valve, check the fittings for leaks, andtighten any loose connections.IMPORTANT• If you turn the refrigerator on before connecting the water line,be sure to turn the ice maker off.• With this installation style, a valve placed behind the refrigera-tor would not allow the refrigerator front to be flush with thecabinets on either side. For a “flush” installation, the shut-offvalve needs to be inside one of the base cabinets to the left/right of the refrigerator.NOTEIf the water-line connection from the home supply line doesnot look like the connection in the graphic below, go instead toStyle 2: Copper Line to Shut-Off Valve.Callout DescriptionA Bulb (engages water-valve outlet)B Nut (slides forward to screw/attach to water-valve outlet)C Flexible water line (carries water to refrigerator)Removing the PackagingThe refrigerator comes bolted to a wooden pallet andboxed in heavy cardboard.Remove the packaging outdoors or in a space with a verytall ceiling.1.
