CAUTION To avoid property damage or possible injury, follow basic precautions, including the following: • Consult a plumber to connect 1⁄4" O.D. copper tubing to household plumbing to assure compliance with local codes and ordinances. • Confirm water pressure to water valve is between 35 and 100 pounds per square inch, 20 pounds per square inch without filter. • Do not use a self-piercing, or 3⁄16" saddle valve. Both reduce water flow can become clogged over time, and may cause leaks if repair is attempted. • Tighten nuts by hand to prevent cross threading. Finish tightening nuts with pliers and wrenches. Do not overtighten. • Wait two to three hours before placing refrigerator into final position to check and correct any water leaks. Recheck for leaks after 24 hours. • Verify the copper tubing under the sleeve is smooth and free from defects. Do not reuse an old sleeve. 4
