WATER TUBE  
Clip the end of the ground wire to the  
refrigerator cabinet.  
Fasten the plastic water tube to the back of the  
refrigerator with three of the adhesive-backed  
fasteners (4), spacing the fasteners as shown.  
IMPORTANT: To ensure a proper ground,  
the end of the ground wire MUST be secured  
to the refrigerator cabinet.

WATER VALVE INSTALLED  
Squeeze the ends of the hose clamp (12) from the  
kit with pliers and slide the clamp over the inlet,  
located on the right side of the refrigerator.  
Refer to the Water Line Installation Instructions for  
connection to the home water supply. After water  
line installation is completed, set the icemaker  
power switch to I (on).  
While still squeezing the clamp, insert the free end  
of the water tube (3) into the inlet as far as it will go.  
Then slide the clamp downward to capture the  
water tube in place.  
Using one of the adhesive-backed fasteners (4),  
secure the water tube to the back of the refrigerator  
about 1/2below the inlet.  
Even when the icemaker power switch is in the  
I (on) position, power to the icemaker will be  
interrupted when the freezer door/drawer is open.  
This prevents ice ejecting from the icemaker from  
missing the ice bucket and dropping into the back  
of the freezer. Because power to the icemaker is  
interrupted while the door/drawer is open, the  
green power light on the icemaker will be off. To  
make sure the icemaker is working properly, press  
the freezer light switch located on the upper right  
side of the freezer compartment. The power light  
on the icemaker will come on.

Note: After installing the icemaker, do not open  
the door/drawer for approximately 4 hours. This  
will allow the freezer to reach the correct operating  
temperature for making ice, and will prevent water  
from spilling out of the icemaker mold.

INSTALL WATER LINE CLAMP  
Attach the water line clamp (strain relief) (6)  
from the kit to the refrigerator. With the clamp  
directly in line with the water valve, drive the  
screw (5) from the kit through the clamp (6)  
at the indent into the back of the cabinet.  
Proceed with the appropriate step in the Installing  
the Water Line section in the Owner’s Manual and  
Installation Instructions to complete the installation.

The metal clamp is for the house water line (see
