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 po-
tential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible
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.
