If the PRV is not fitted to the connection line, the Ice & Water features may not function in some circumstances. ■■ The water connection to your Ice & Water refrigerator must be installed by an authorized plumber or Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Agent. ■■ The water connection instructions below are intended only for the professional installer. ■■ The new tubings supplied with the refrigerator are to be used, old tubings from old Ice & Water connections should not be used.
