12 CONNECT THE WATER LINE
• Make sure there is enough plastic water line to
extend from the water valve to well into the
water tube inlet. Cut off any excess tubing.
• Squeeze the ends of the hose clamp 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.
