How to connect the
water supply
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury or
death, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Read all instructions
installing device.
DO NOT attempt installation if
instructions are not understood or if
they are beyond personal skill
level.
Observe all local codes and ordi-
nances.
DO NOT service device unless
specifically recommended
owner's manual or published user-
repair instructions.
Disconnect power to unit prior to
installing device.
CAUTION
To avoid property damage or possi-
ble injury, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Consult a plumber to connect
copper tubing to household plumb-
ing to assure compliance with local
codes and ordinances.
Confirm water pressure to water
valve is between 20 and 100
pounds per square inch. If water
filter is installed, water pressure to
water valve must be a minimum of
35 pounds per square inch.
DO NOT use a self-piercing, or
saddle valve! Both reduce water
flow, become clogged with 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 24 hours before placing unit
into final position to check and
correct any water leaks.
