WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury or death, follow basic precautions, including the following:

•Read all instructions before installing ice maker.

•Do not attempt installation if instructions are not understood or if they are beyond personal skill level.

•Observe all local codes and ordinances.

•Do not service ice maker unless specifically recommended in Use and Care Guide or published user-repair instructions.

•Disconnect power to refrigerator before installing ice maker.

•Water damage due to an improper water connection may cause mold/mildew growth. Clean up spills or leakage immediately!

CAUTION

To avoid property damage or possible injury, follow basic precautions, including the following:

•Consult a plumber to connect 1⁄4” O.D. copper tubing to household plumbing to assure compliance with local codes and ordinances.

•Confirm water pressure to water valve is between 35 and 100 pounds per square inch, 20 pounds per square inch without filter.

•Do not use a self-piercing, or 3⁄16” saddle valve. Both reduce water flow and can become clogged over time, and may cause leaks if repair is attempted.

•Tighten nuts by hand to prevent cross threading. Finish tightening nuts with pliers and wrenches. Do not over-tighten.

•Wait two to three hours before placing refrigerator into final position to check and correct any water leaks. Recheck for leaks after 24 hours.

•Verify the copper tubing under the sleeve is smooth and free from defects. Do not reuse an old sleeve.
