the wall outlet.

• Before connecting the water line to the house, purge

the house line for at least 2 minutes.

refrigerator connection, at the back of the

refrigerator, and tighten the compression nut until it

is hand tight. Then tighten one additional turn with

a wrench. Overtightening may cause leaks.
