2. Cutting or Disconnecting the Tubing
Use a 8 foot coil (3 coils, approximately 10-inch diameter)
of plastic, copper or flexible hose between the outlet of the
filter and the refrigerator. Determine the length of plastic,
copper or flexible hose needed to connect the inlet and
outlet of filter. Using a pipe cutter or hacksaw for copper
tubing or utility knife for plastic; cleanly cut tubing or
disconnect flexible hose from refrigerator. Leave a minimum
of 2-inches (51 mm) of pipe after shut-off valve in case pipe
must be re-cut at a later time. Deburr ends of remaining pipe
with a file.

3. Connecting the Tubing
(A) Determine the length of plastic tubing needed to connect
the inlet (left) side of the filter with the supply adapter. Be
sure to allow enough tubing to prevent kinking and cut the
tubing squarely. Place a mark 5/8-inch from the end of the
tubing.
(B) Wet tubing with water and insert into supply adapter 5/8-
inch until mark is flush with fitting. Repeat inserting other
end of tubing into inlet of filter.
NOTE: T-flush valve can also be installed after plastic or
copper tubing is connected to outlet.
NOTE: A T-flush valve is recommended only when used with
an icemaker. See Diagram below. This valve is installed after
the filter, so it can be flushed to remove carbon fines or
release pressure before removing cartridge.

(A) Turn on water supply to allow filter to fill with water.
Check for leaks. If it leaks, see Troubleshooting section.
(B) Flush filter for 5 minutes through the water dispenser
or if appliance is equipped with only an icemaker, through
the T-Valve, and discard water.
(C) Turn on Icemaker.
(D) Check for leaks before leaving installation. If it leaks,
see Troubleshooting.
NOTE: A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon
fines (very fine black powder). If your icemaker contains
black carbon fines, discard ice.
NOTE: Initially, filtered water may appear cloudy, if
cloudiness in a glass of water disappears from the bottom;
fine air bubbles are present. This air within the water will
disappear within a few weeks after installation.
