Water Supply
CAUTION
!
Observe and follow all local building codes when installing
this appliance.
Use ⁄ " outside diameter copper tubing for your water sup-
1
4
ply which is available at any local hardware or plumbing
supply store. Bend the ⁄ " copper tubing to suit your instal-

lation being sure not to kink the tubing. Purchase enough
copper tubing length and coil it behind the unit to form a
"service loop" which will allow the appliance to be pulled
out from the installation for servicing or cleaning. Connect
the copper tubing to the "top side" of a cold water pipe to
prevent the ice-maker from plugging with sediment.
A shutoff valve is recommended on the water supply line to
ease servicing the appliance. NOTE: A SELF-PIERCING
TYPE VALVE IS NOT RECOMMENDED as they are prone
to clogging with sediment which will create pressure drop
reducing the water supply to the unit.
Connect the copper tubing water supply to the water valve
inlet with a 1/4" compression nut fitting. Secure the water
supply line to the back of the cabinet with the screw and
clamp provided in the corner of the back panel. (See Figure
7).
Water pressure must be at a minimum of 20 psi for proper
operation and a maximum of 120 psi.
Make certain all water connections are watertight after in-
stallation. Form the tubing so that it will not vibrate against
the cabinet body or kink when your appliance is set in posi-
tion.
