Route the tubing between the cold water
line and the refrigerator.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in
the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or
adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall
as possible.
NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra
tubing (about 8' [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns
of about 10 " [25 cm] diameter) to allow the
refrigerator to move out from the wall after
installation.
