Water Line Connections
Approximately 3' (.9 m) of 1/4" plastic tubing is connect-
ed to the unit with a preassembled 1/4" compression
connection at the end. This tubing is located under the
unit.
The water line fitting connection kit, provided with the
unit, contains a 1/4" compression union fitting for con-
nection to the household water supply line. The com-
pression nut and sleeve should be placed on the water
line and fastened to the connection at the end of the
tubing under the unit. Do not over tighten. Check all
water line fittings for leaks. Make sure that the drain
pan can be installed and/or removed without any water
line interference.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The water line should be purged
prior to final connection to the unit. This will remove
any debris that may be present in the tubing from
installing the new water line.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If a reverse osmosis system
used, it is recommended that the water filter be
bypassed as mentioned earlier is this section.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The customer should be made
aware that the ice maker will not produce ice immedi-
ately, and that the first few batches of ice produced
should be discarded, allowing twenty-four (24) hours for
proper ice production.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Caution must be taken to not
expose the water lines leading to the refrigerator to
freezing temperatures. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the product and home.
