23INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
Shut off the main water supply.
• Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the
pressure on the line.
Choose the valve location.
• Choose a location for the valve that is easily
accessible. It is best to connect into the side
of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary
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.
Drill the hole for the valve.
• Drill a ¼ in. hole in the water pipe using a
sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from
drilling the hole in the pipe. Be careful not to
allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to
drill a ¼ in. hole may result in reduced ice
production or smaller cubes.
NOTE
• The hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing.
Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing
(NDA tubing #49595 or #49599) or Cross Link
Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

• Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water
pipe with the pipe clamp.
