to the wall as possible.
NOTE: Make sure there is a sufficient amount of extra
pipeline (8 feet [244 mm] coiled up three times with a
10" [25 cm] in diameter) to allow free movement of the
refrigerator from the wall after installation was made.

NOTES:
Before making connection to refrigerator, make sure

refrigerator does not have a water filter, it is advised
to install one.
If your water source contains sand or related particles
that can travel to the valve, install a water filter near the
refrigerator.

new ones to have a better use and experience. Connect
always to a potable water source to avoid security and
health issues.
