Installation Requirements
You will need a shutoff valve, two
1/4" OD compression nuts, two
compression sleeves and enough
t/4" OD copper tubing to connect
refrigerator to water source (Your
Sears Store or Catalog Sales Office
has a kit available with a saddle-
type shutoff valve and copper
tubing, Before purchasing, make
sure a saddle-type valve complies
with your local plumbing codes.)
CAUTION: Do not install icemaker
tubing in areas where temperatures
fall below freezing,
1, Find a 3/8" to 1" vertical COLD
water pipe near the refrigerator.
When it i5necessary 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
2. Measure from INLET on rear of
refrigerator to water pipe Add 7
feet to allow for moving refrigerator
for cleaning This is the length of
1/4" OD copper tubing you will
need for the job (length from water
valve to water pipe PLUS7 feet),
Be sure both ends of copper tubing
are cut square,
3. Turn OFF main water supply
Turn on nearest faucet long enough
to clear line of water,
CAUTION: When using any
electrical device (such as a power
drill) to facilitate installation, be
sure the device is insulated or
wired in a manner to prevent the
hazard of electrical shock_
4, Using a grounded drill, drill a
3/t6" hole in the vertical cold
