6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4" (6.35 ram)
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 washer makes a
watertight
seal. Do not overtighten
or you may crush the
copper tubing.
7. Slip the compression
sleeve and compression nut onto the
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw 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 shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil
the copper tubing.

On models with ice makers, the ice maker is equipped with
a built-in water strainer. If your water conditions require a
second water strainer, install it in the ¢/4" (6.35 mm) water
line at either tube connection. Obtain
a water strainer from
your nearest appliance
dealer.
