CAUTION
I
To avoid property damage, observe the following:
• Consult a plumber to connect copper tubing to household plumbing to assure compliance with local codes and
ordinances.
• Confirm water pressure to water valve is between 20 and 100 pounds per square inch. If water filter is installed, water
pressure to water valve must be a minimum of 35 pounds per square inch.
• DO NOT use a self-piercing, or 3/_6"(4.8 mm) saddle valve. Both reduce water flow,become clogged with 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 24 hours before placing unit into final position to check and correct any water leaks.
