Connect the Water Line

• 1). Shut off the cold water by turning the knob clockwise on the right-hand side below your kitchen sink.
  
  
• 2). Slip the self-tapping valve onto the cold water pipe below the shut-off knob. Tighten the thumb screw in the valve to pierce the water pipe and create a tight seal.
  
  
• 3). Wrap plumber's tape on the threads of the nozzle on the self-tapping valve. Press the tape into the threading, using your fingertips.
  
  
• 4). Connect one end of the water line to the nozzle on the self-tapping valve, turning the coupler clockwise.
  
  
• 5). Route the water line to the back of your refrigerator.
  
  
• 6). Unplug the refrigerator's power cord from the wall and pull the appliance out into the kitchen so you can work behind it.
  
  
• 7). Wrap plumber's tape around the nozzle on the back of the refrigerator that's labeled for an ice maker. This is typically on the upper right side of the back panel. Fasten the other end of the water line to this nozzle.
  
  

Install the Ice Maker

• 1). Open the freezer door and remove any frozen food that may be obstructing your access to the inside back wall.
  
  
• 2). Push the wired plug on the back of your ice maker into the square or rectangular socket on the back wall of the freezer.
  
  
• 3). Align the edge of the ice maker with the notches on the freezer wall. Insert the supplied screws into each screw hole on the ice maker, and fasten the component to the back of the freezer wall, using a screwdriver.
  
  
• 4). Close the freezer door and plug in the appliance.
  
  
• 5). Twist the knob on the self-tapping valve under your sink counterclockwise. Check for leaks at the valve and the back of the refrigerator, tightening the coupler on each end with pliers, if necessary. Open the freezer door to flip the ice maker switch to the "On" position.
