6 Prepare Plumbing
CAUTION
Plumbing installation must observe all state and local codes. All water connections MUST BE made by a licensed/ qualified plumbing contractor. Failure to follow recommendations and instructions may result in damage and/or harm.
WARNING
To prevent accidental electrocution, make certain that the floor surfaces surrounding the unit are dry whenever power is removed from, or applied to, the unit.
Water Supply Connection
When connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines:
•Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit.
•Connect to the cold water supply.
•The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi.
•Install a
•Connect sufficient tubing to the unit so that tubing may be looped, allowing the unit to be removed for cleaning and servicing (see Figure 18). However, make certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged during installation.
•
To connect to water supply:
1.Install the 1/4 inch OD copper water line from the main water source.

2.Locate the compression fitting and ferrule packed with the unit. Slide the compression fitting and ferrule over the
3.Carefully bend the water supply line into position and connect the line to the solenoid valve (see Figure 17). Avoid kinking the water supply line.

IMPORTANT
Route the water supply line through the unit so it does not come into contact with any internal components other than the solenoid valve. See Figure 18. Normal operation creates some vibration. A water supply line contacting an internal component or cabinet wall can cause excessive noise during operation or damage to the line.
4.For recessed installations, allow extra water supply line length to provide slack for easy removal from the recessed area (see Figure 18). This will also safeguard against kinking the line.
