Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the side
of the cupboard as close to the wall as possible.

Insert and push the end of the tubing into the
fitting as far as possible.
With the free end of the tubing located in a
suitable container, turn the main water supply
On and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.
Turn Off the shutoff valve after approximately 1 litre
of water has been flushed through the tubing.
Connecting the Tubing to the Shutoff Valve
Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be
sure the power is turned OFF and the power cord is
disconnected from the Power Outlet.
If your refrigerator does not include a water filter,
we recommend installing one in the water line near
the refrigerator if your water supply has sand or
particles that could clog the screen of the
refrigerator’s water valve.
Remove the refrigerator access cover.
Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve
(refrigerator connection).
Attach the fitting with the female thread supplied
with the water supply kit to the water valve and
tighten.
Insert and push the end of the tubing into the
