CAUTION
Observe the following to avoid property damage:
• Confirm water pressure to water valve is between
20 and 120 pounds per square inch.
• Copper supply tubing must be routed where the
temperature is 55°F (13°C) or higher to prevent
freeze-ups.
• Start adaptor fitting and nuts by hand to avoid cross
threading. Tighten adaptor fitting and nuts with
pliers and wrenches. Do not overtighten.
• Check for water leaks and correct if necessary
before returning refrigerator to normal location, and
24 hours after connecting.

connect copper tubing to household plumbing in
compliance with local codes and ordinances.
