Copper
tubing
( 114"O.D.)
and saddle
valve can be purchased
from local
hardware stores. Sweat or flare
connection
can be used instead
of the
compression
union,
ifdesired. 4.
Do
notuse
plastic
tubingorplastic
fittings
because
the connection
betweenthe
water supply
and the refrigerator
water
valve inlet is under
constant
pressure.
Also,
certain
typesof plastic
tubing
may
become brittle with age and crack,
resulting
inwater
leakage.
NOTE:
Whenusing
unfiltered
well
water,
it isadvisable
to use a filterin
thewater
supply
line.
This
eliminates
all
possibility
ofsmall
particles
fromentering
thewater
valve.
Find
a 318"to 1"verticalCOLD
water
pipe near the refrigerator. Water
pressure
mustbebetween
20and
12Q
P.S.l.
Vertical
pipe
ispreferable,
but
a horizontal
pipe will work. lf a
horizontal
pipe is used, installthe
saddle
valveonthe
top
ortheside
of
the
pipe,
notonthebottom.
Install
thesaddle
valveaccording
to
manufacturer's
instructions
included
withthe
valve.
Routethe copper
tubing
through
the
floor,wallor
sinkcabinet
tothesaddle
valve location. Form the excess
tubing
intoalargeloop.
This allows movement for the
refrigerator
withoutdisconnecting
the
tubing. Otherrouting
methods
are
shown
on

During

moisture
has
a tendency tocollect

just
asdroplets
ofwateraccumulate
on
aglass containing

Therefrigerator
is
built
to
exacting
standardsand,
therefore,
contains
condensate
driers
thatare designedto minimize
anycollection
of
moisture
on
the
cabinet
externalsurface
during
periods
ofhigh
humidity.
lf the consumerlives

thehumidity

seasons,
you can set the switch
to the
"Saves Energy" positionwhich will
disconnectthe condensate
driers and

In areasof relatively
highhumidity,
settheswitchto the "Reduces
