x Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.

The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a

minimum inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the point of

connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type

shutoff valves are included in many water supply

kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type

valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

NOTE

x A self-piercing saddle type water valve should not

be used.

Water Line Installation Instructions

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard:

x When using any electrical device (such as a

power drill) during installation, be sure the device

is battery-powered, double-insulated or grounded

in a manner that will prevent the hazard of

electric shock.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently

used drinking water line.

Shut off the main water supply.

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure

on the line.

Choose the valve location.

Choose a location for the valve that is easily

accessible. It is best to connect into the side of

a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to

connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the

connection to the top or side, rather than at the

bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from

the water pipe.

Drill the hole for the valve.

x Drill a ¼ in. hole in the water pipe using a sharp

bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the

hole in the pipe. Be careful not to allow water

to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a ¼ in. hole

may result in reduced ice production or smaller

cubes.

NOTE

x The hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing.

Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing

(NDA tubing #49595 or #49599) or Cross Link

Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

Fasten the shutoff valve.

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe

with the pipe clamp.
