Installation

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 overtighten.

•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.

4. Place end of copper tubing into water valve inlet port. Shape tubing slightly. Do not kink – so that tubing feeds straight into inlet port.

5. Slide brass nut over sleeve and screw nut into inlet port. Tighten nut with wrench.

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten. Cross threading may occur.

6. Pull on tubing to confirm connection is

 

secure. Connect tubing to frame with

correct if necessary. Continue to

 

observe the water supply connection

location.
