4CONNECT THE WATER LINE

Make sure there is enough plastic water line to extend from the water valve to well into the water tube inlet (15). Cut off any excess tubing.

Squeeze the ends of the hose clamp (3) from the kit with pliers and slide the clamp over the water tube inlet.

While still squeezing the clamp, insert the plastic

water line into the inlet as far as it will go (approximately 1[25 mm]).

Then slide the clamp downward to capture the plastic water line in place.

Make sure the fill tube is aimed down.
