Connect To Refrigerator - IKEA P9WB2L Manual De Instrucciones Para El Usuario

IMPORTANT:
Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
■
Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the topside of the pipe,
■
not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill
and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower rear corner of refrigerator to
the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use
1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure
both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten the shut-off valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4" (6.35 mm)
drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the
pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp
screws slowly and evenly so the washer makes a watertight
seal. Do not overtighten, or you may crush the copper tubing.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on
the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing
into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the
compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do
not overtighten.
8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn
on the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear.
Turn off the shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper
tubing.

Style 1
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the short, black plastic part from the end
of the water line inlet.
3. Thread the nut onto the end of the tubing. Tighten the nut by
hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not
overtighten.
NOTE: To avoid rattling, be sure the copper tubing does not
touch the cabinet's side wall or other parts inside the cabinet.

4. Install the water supply tube clamp around the water supply
line to reduce strain on the coupling.
5. Turn shut-off valve on.
6. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
Style 2
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the plastic part that is attached to the
inlet of the water valve.
3. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do
not overtighten.
4. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure
the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help avoid
damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back
against the wall.
5. Turn shut-off valve on.
6. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

7. On some models, 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 3
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray water
tube on the rear of the refrigerator.
3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not
long enough, a 1/4" x 1/4" (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) 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.
