■ Use pipe thread-sealing tape (provided) on threaded
connections.
■ Tubing may be cut to desired length.
■ When connecting the kit to a refrigerator water dispenser,
a slightly lower dispenser water pressure may be noticed.
This is normal.
■ It is normal for the GREEN light to flash on the faucet monitor
when the icemaker or dispenser calls for water (on some
models).
■ Before installing the icemaker kit, install the Reverse Osmosis
Filtration System according to the installation instructions.

1. Turn off the icemaker.
2. Turn off the water supply to the Reverse Osmosis Filtration
System by closing the water supply valve (Fig. 1).
3. Drain the RO system and tank. Turn on the RO faucet located
on the sink or countertop (Fig. 1). Let the water drain from the
system until water has stopped flowing. On models equipped
with a tank shutoff valve, make sure the valve is open so that the
tank will drain. Close the RO faucet.
4. Cut the 3/8″tubing that connects the storage tank to the RO
system (Fig. 2); this tubing will be either orange, gray or white,
depending on model. Make sure the cut is clean and straight
with no burrs or crimps. Insert on Tee fitting between the two
cut ends of the tubing (Fig. 2). Push the tubing into the fitting
until it stops—about 1/2″. Give tubing a tug to make sure it is
seated securely.
5. Connect the tank to the Tee using the 6 ft. length orange
tubing.
