DANGER
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe
personal injury or death. Disconnect power to refrigerator
before connecting water supply.
CAUTION
Observe the following to avoid property damage:
• Raise stabilizing leg before moving unit.
• 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 coper tubing to household plumbing in compli-
ance with local codes and ordinances.
• DO NOT use piercing type or 3/16"saddle valves! Both
reduce water flow, become clogged with time and in
addition, may cause leaks if repair is attempted. The
correct type-a shut-off valve-requires a '/4" hole to be
drilled in the water supply pipe before valve attachment.
• Do not install copper tubing in area where temperatures
drop below 32°F (0°C).
