touching the cabinet on all four sides and that cabinet 

is stable.

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, 

which can cause death 

or severe personal 

injury, disconnect the 

refrigerator from elec-

trical power before con-

necting a water supply 

line to the refrigerator.

CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage:

• Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommended for the wa-

ter supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼ inch (6 mm) plastic 

is not recommended to be used. Plastic tubing greatly increases the 

potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be respon-

sible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.

• Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.

• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall 

below freezing.

• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. 

If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener 

is maintained and working properly.
