To avoid risk of electrical shock which can cause death or
severe injury, disconnect electrical power to unit before
servicing.
To connect mullion heater to power:
1. Disconnect power to unit using power switch.
2. Remove toe grille. Locate water valve wiring harness.
3. Carefully, slit wiring harness vinyl sleeve to expose one black and
one white lead bent with bullet terminators.
4. Locate mullion heater leads at the left side of cabinet and connect to
black and white leads.
5. Wrap vinyl sleeve with electrical tape to close slit.
