refrigerator. Place it through a hole in the wall or floor
(behind the refrigerator or next to the cabinet) as close
to the wall as possible.
NOTE: Make sure there is a sufficient amount of extra

10" [25 cm] in diameter) to allow free movement of the
refrigerator from the wall after installation was made.

9. CONNECT PIPE TO REFRIGERATOR
NOTES:
• Before making connection to refrigerator, make sure
it is not connected to any energy source. If your
refrigerator does not have a water filter, it is advised
to install one.
• If your water source contains sand or related particles
that can travel to the valve, install a water filter near the
refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: Never use old or used hoses. Always use
new ones to have a better use and experience. Connect
always to a potable water source to avoid security and
health issues.
