Important Information The following information is used throughout this Installation Guide. Read it carefully so you are familiar with it. Your safety and the safety of others are very important. We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING." These words mean: DANGER You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions. WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions. All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed. ‡ This Installation Guide gives you complete instructions on how to install the Ice Maker Kit in your refrigerator-freezer and connect a water line to it. Please read the guide carefully and follow the instructions exactly as described. Also, make sure that you observe all of the "safety" instructions. ‡ This kit is designed so that almost anyone can install it; however, a certain amount of mechanical ability is required. ‡ Before you start to install your Ice Maker Kit, you will have to purchase a copper tubing kit that contains a "Regular Valve and Clamp Assembly" (for refrigerators with an automatic ice maker, or self-filling trays). The kit contains all of the hardware necessary to connect your ice maker to the water supply. You can purchase one at most hardware or plumbing supply stores. ‡ DO NOT USE PIERCING-TYPE, OR 3⁄16" SHUT-OFF VALVES. They reduce the flow of water to the ice maker, and are easily clogged. ‡ DO NOT USE POLYETHYLENE TUBING to connect the ice maker to the water line. Use only 1⁄4" (O.D.) copper tubing. CUSTOMER INSTALLATION IS NOT WARRANTED BY THE REFRIGERATOR OR ICE MAKER MANUFACTURER. 3
