OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONNECTING ICE MAKER TO WATER SUPPLY WARNING: To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or serious injury, disconnect the Party Center from power before connecting a water supply line to your Party Center. CAUTION: To avoid property damage: • Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of 1/4" plastic is not recommended since it greatly increases the potential for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply line. • DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures will fall below freezing. • Connect the ice maker to a water source that is not tied into a water softening system. Chemicals from the softener may damage the ice maker, causing it to malfunction. IMPORTANT: Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes. BEFORE INSTALLING THE WATER SUPPLY LINE, YOU WILL NEED: • Basic tools; adjustable wrench and standard, flat blade screwdriver. • Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 120 psi. • A water supply line made of 1/4 inch (6.4mm) OD copper tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed, you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the Party Center to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 3 feet (0.9144 meters), so the Party Center can be moved out for cleaning. See Figure C. • A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. (a self-piercing type shutoff valve is not recommended). • A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve. NOTE: Water line kit number 5303917950, available from your appliance dealer at additional cost, contains 25 feet (7.6 meters) of 1/4" OD copper tubing, a saddle type shut off valve (nonpiercing), (2) 1/4" brass compression nuts, (2) ferrules / sleeves, and instructions for installing a water supply line. TO CONNECT WATER SUPPLY LINE TO ICE MAKER INLET VALVE: 1) Disconnect the Party Center from electric power supply. 2) Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply and flush supply line until water runs clear. Turn OFF water supply at the shut off valve. 3) Unscrew plastic cap from water valve inlet (some models) and discard cap. 4) Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve), onto water supply line, as shown in Fig. D. 5) Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (1/4 inch). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger-tighten the compression nut onto the valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. 6) With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of the Party Center at location shown in Fig. C. 7) Coil excess water supply line (about 3 feet) behind the Party Center as shown in Fig. C. Arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface. 8) Turn ON water supply at shut off valve and tighten any connections that leak. 9) Reconnect the Party Center to electric power supply.
