20 INSTALLATION
• If your existing copper water line has a
flared fitting at the end, you will need
an adapter (available at plumbing supply
stores) to connect the water line to the
refrigerator
OR you can cut off the flared
fitting with a tube
cutter and then use a
compression
fitting.
• Shutoffvalve to
connect to the coldwater line. The shutoff
valve should have a water inlet with a
minimum
inside diameter of 5/32 in. at
the point of connection to the COLD
WATER LINE. Saddle4ype shutoff valves
are included in many water supply kits.
Before purchasing,
make sure a saddle-
type valve complies
with your local
plumbing codes.

WARNING
When using any electrical device
(such as a power drill) during
installation,
be sure the device is
battery powered, double insulated
or grounded in a manner that will
prevent the hazard of electric shock.
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest
frequently
used drinking water line.
SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the
pressure on the line.
2
CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for
the valve that is easily
accessible.
It is best to
connect into the side of a
vertical water pipe. When
it is necessary to connect
into a horizontal water
pipe, make the connection
to the top or
side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid
drawing off any sediment from the water
pipe.
3
DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 14 in. hole in
the water pipe using
a sharp bit. Remove
any burrs resulting
from drilling the hole
in the pipe. Be careful
not to allow water
to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a 1Ain.
hole may result in reduced ice production
or smaller cubes.
