Connect ice maker water supply line

WARNING

To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe

personal injury or death, disconnect power to

refrigerator before connecting water supply. After

connecting water supply, connect power.

CAUTION

Observe the following to avoid property damage:

• Make sure water pressure to water valve is between

20 and 100 pounds per square inch.

• Tighten adapter fitting and nuts with pliers and

wrenches. Do not overtighten.

• Check for water leaks and correct if necessary before

returning refrigerator to normal location. After 24

hours check again for leaks.

Important

• Before connecting water supply, contact a plumber to

connect copper tubing to household plumbing in

compliance with local codes and ordinances.

• Amana does not recommend using a self-piercing, or

/16" saddle valves! Both reduce water flow, become

plugged with sediment over time and may cause leaks

if repair is attempted. The correct type of shut-off valve

requires a

/4" hole to be drilled in the water supply pipe

prior to valve attachment. Amana is not responsible for

property damage caused by improper water

connection.

Materials Required

/4" O.D. (6 mm) flexible copper tubing is required. Length

of copper tubing must reach from water supply connection

to water valve inlet port on back of refrigerator, plus

additional 8 ft. (2 m) of tubing for a service loop. A service

loop will allow refrigerator to be pulled away from the wall

without disconnecting tubing.

Procedure

1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port.
