INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING THE WATER LINE (Cont.)
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used
drinking water line.
1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of
water.
2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for the valve
that is easily accessible. It is best to
connect into the side of a vertical
water pipe. When it is necessary to
connect into a horizontal water pipe,
make the connection to the top or
side, rather than at the bottom, to
the water pipe.
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if using a self-
piercing valve), using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs
resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.
Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill.
Failure to drill a 1/4" hole may result in reduced ice
production or smaller cubes.
4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
