installation to relieve pressure in the line.
□ Connect one end of the Polyethylene tube (A) to water inlet located
on the back of the refrigerator. First slide the compression tting (C)
(provided) into Polyethylene tubing. Insert one of the small brass tube
stiffeners (D) (provided) into the end of the line pressing it until the are
on the stiffener touches the end of the plastic tubing. NOTE: A brass
stiffener (D) must be placed inside the end of the tube so it can be
