Water Supply Connections
Connecting the Water line
Note: When you connect the water supply hose, pay attention to the “Water inlet” labels
on the ice maker.
!
The water supply should be ready at the point of installation. The water supply pressure should be
a minimum of 20 psig with a static pressure not more than 120 psig. (A wall outlet directly behind
the ice maker will make installation easier.) The temperature of the water feeding into the ice maker
should be between 41° F and 90° F for proper operation.
Notes:
1. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
2. Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked, or damaged during installation.
3. Check for leaks after connection.
!
1. Turn o the main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.
2. Find a 1/4" vertical cold water inlet of soft copper tubing with a shut-o valve near the installation
location. The distance should be less than six (6) feet. The water supply hose provided with the ice
maker is about six (6) feet long. Drains are not required for this unit.
3. Connect the nuts of the water supply hose to the tap and water inlet valve. Tighten the nuts rmly
by hand, then one-half turn with the wrench.
4. Turn on the main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten every
connection (including connections at the water inlet).
In general, it is always a good idea to lter the water. A water lter can remove taste and odors as
well as particles. Where water is very hard, softened water may result in white, mushy cubes that
stick together. De-ionized water is not recommended.
