Important:
1. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
2. Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation.
3. Check for leaks after connection.
Note: In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter 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. Deionized water is not recommended.
Water Supply Connections
The water supply should be ready at the point of installation. The water supply pressure should be a
minimum of 15 psig with a static pressure not more than 80 psig. (A wall outlet directly behind the ice
maker will make installation easier.)
Tools required: ½ in. open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver
Connecting the Water Line
1. Turn off the main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of
water.
2. Find a

” vertical cold water pipe near the installation location. The distance should be
less than 9 feet. The water supply hose provided with the ice maker is about 9 feet long.
3. A shut-off valve must be installed to the main water supply. If the water pipe has a plain piece
of copper tubing, attach a

4. Connect nuts of the water supply hose to the tap and water inlet valve. Tighten the nuts firmly
by hand, then one-half turn with wrench.
5. Turn on the main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten every
connection (including connections at the water inlet).
