Important Information

The following information is used throughout this Installation Guide. Read it carefully so you

are familiar with it.

•DO NOT USE PIERCING-TYPE, OR 3⁄16

SHUT-OFF VALVES. They reduce the flow

of water to the ice maker, and are easily

clogged.

•DO NOT USE POLYETHYLENE TUBING

to connect the ice maker to the water line.

Use only 1⁄4

(O.D.) copper tubing.

CUSTOMER INSTALLATION IS NOT

WARRANTED BY THE REFRIGERATOR

OR ICE MAKER MANUFACTURER.

•This Installation Guide gives you complete

instructions on how to install the Ice Maker

Kit in your refrigerator-freezer and connect

a water line to it. Please read the guide

carefully and follow the instructions exactly

as described. Also, make sure that you

observe all of the “safety” instructions.

•This kit is designed so that almost anyone

can install it; however, a certain amount of

mechanical ability is required.

•Before you start to install your Ice Maker

Kit, you will have to purchase a copper

tubing kit that contains a “Regular Valve

and Clamp Assembly” (for refrigerators with

an automatic ice maker, or self-filling trays).

The kit contains all of the hardware

necessary to connect your ice maker to the

water supply. You can purchase one at

most hardware or plumbing supply stores.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you

what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all

safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or

“WARNING.” These words mean:

Installing the Water Line

Choosing a location

1. Open the copper tubing kit that you

purchased earlier, and lay the contents

neatly on a table where you can identify

them easily. The parts from the kit that you

will use are as follows:

1 Regular Valve (not the steel-

piercing type)

2 Compression Sleeves

2 Compression Nuts

2 Clamps

2 Screws

2 Nuts

1 Gasket Seal *

1 Length of Coiled Copper Tubing

* - not needed for 11 Cubic Foot Top Freezer Models (24ECKMF kit)

NOTE: When you work with the soft copper

tubing, be careful not to kink it. If you

accidentally kink the tubing, do not use it.

IMPORTANT: Do not install water line tubing

in a location where the temperature may fall

below freezing; otherwise, property damage

could occur.

2. Choose a suitable water pipe location to

install the water shut-off valve (see side

diagram for some suggested locations). We

recommend installing the valve on a vertical

length of cold (not hot) water pipe that is

nearest your refrigerator. If a vertical length

of pipe is not nearby, you can use a

horizontal length of water pipe, however,

you will have to drill the access hole for the

valve into the top or side of the pipe (not the

bottom). This will keep water in the pipe

from flowing down onto the drill, and also

keep sediment from collecting in the valve

later.

NOTE: Depending on the location of the

horizontal pipe in relation to the floor and

wall, drilling into it may not be possible.

3. Drill a 3⁄8

hole through the floor or wall to

the water pipe.

Routing the copper tubing

Refer to the side diagram for the following

steps.

1. Uncoil the necessary length of copper

tubing and straighten it, then route the end

of the tubing through the access hole you

drilled to the location you have chosen to

install the shut-off valve. Straighten only

enough of the copper tubing to reach this

location. Leave the rest coiled near the

access hole.

2. At this time, make sure that you have been

supplied with enough tubing so that when

you are finished connecting the water line,

you will have enough coiled behind the

refrigerator to easily move it forward far

enough to clean behind it. Also make sure

that the coils are large enough so that when

the unit is pulled forward, the windings will

not stretch too far and kink.

3. Turn off the cold water supply going to the

water pipe where you will be installing the

shut-off valve.

4. Open a cold water tap that is connected to

the selected water pipe and bleed off the

water pressure. Leave the tap open until

after you complete the water line hook up.

5. Use a hammer and a center punch, and

mark the location of the hole for the shut-off

valve. If you are marking copper tubing, do

not strike the punch hard enough to bend it.

6. Install a 1⁄4

bit in the drill, and drill an access

hole through just the front side (not through

both sides) of the cold water pipe.

7. Check the hole and make sure that you

have drilled completely through one side of

the pipe. The edges of the hole should be

smooth and round. If necessary, use a

small 3⁄4-round file to remove any rough

edges from inside the hole, and any burrs

from around the top of the hole.

Installing the shut-off val ve

Refer to the diagram below for the following

steps.

1. Locate the shut-off valve and the front pipe

clamp (with the threaded hole in the center)

from the copper tubing kit. Then, making

sure not to crossthread the valve, screw

the end with the pilot tube into the threaded

hole of the clamp. Hand-tighten the valve

as far as it will go (the threaded shaft is

slightly tapered and can only be tightened

so far).

2. Use a 1⁄2

open-end (or adjustable) wrench,

and turn the body of the shut-off valve an

additional 1⁄8

turn to secure it to the clamp.

3. Slide the rubber seal gasket (from the

copper tubing kit) over the pilot tube (the

unthreaded portion) of the shut-off valve.

4. Slide the pilot tube of the shut-off valve

into the water pipe access hole so it is

against the seal gasket, and install the

back pipe clamp over the water pipe.

Secure the clamps to the pipe with the two

screws and nuts that were supplied with

the copper tubing kit. Tighten the nuts

equally so that the space between the

clamps is the same (see DETAIL A). DO

NOT OVERTIGHTEN the nuts, or you

could deform the clamps and damage the

seal gasket.

Connecting the copper tubing to the shut-off valve

Refer to the diagram below for the following

steps.

1.Straighten a 2

section of copper tubing and

make sure that the opening is round and

cut evenly across the end. If necessary, use

a tubing cutter (or a hacksaw) and cut the

end off, then file it so it is even, and remove

any burrs from around the inside and out-

side edges so it is smooth and round. When

you are finished, clean the filings from

inside the tubing as much as possible.

2.Position the compression nut as shown,

and slide it over the end of the copper

tubing.

3.Slide a compression sleeve over the

copper tubing until it is approximately

from the end.

4.Insert the end of the copper tubing into the

outlet connector of the shut-off valve as far

as it will go, and then hand tighten the

compression nut as much as possible.

5.Use a 1⁄2

open-end wrench, and further

tighten the compression nut on the shut-off

valve

. If necessary, you

will tighten the nut further after you turn on

the water supply.

6.Turn the T-handle on the shut-off valve to
