lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified
plumber to correct water hammer before installing
the water supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
