REFRIGERATOR
NOTES:
• Before making tile connection to tile refl'igerator,
be sure tile refl'igerator power cord is not i)lugged
into tile wall outlet.
• If your refl'igerator does not have a water filteL
we recommend installing one if yore" water
supply has sand or particles that could clog tile
screen of the reti'igerator's water valve. Install it in
tile water line near tile reli'igerator. If using (;E
SmartConnect _'' Refl'igerator Tubing kit, you will
need an additional tube (WX08X10002) to
connect tile filter. Do not cut plastic tube to
install filter.
