UNPACKING
Step 5
Uncrate unit, remove wood
base and discard the shipping
bolts which secure the wood
base to the bottom of the unit.
Do not discard wood block
and
hardware to be used for
blocking your unit.
In
addition retract front
leveler legs to ensure easier
movement of the unit for
installation.
Route the water line thru the
wall no more than
3"
from
floor when routed under unit.
See Figure 6.
NOTE: Regardless
of
the
routing, allow for
at
least 3
feet
of
excess copper tub-
ing to remain outside wall
or
floor for easy connection
to the unit.
Step 4
For units with automatic
icemaker, rough
in
the water
supply line.
Connect a
'/4" copper line to
the house supply being sure to
use an easily accessible shut
off valve between the supply
and your refrigerator
(approximately
6"
from the
compression fitting). The
icemaker operates on water
pressure of 20 to 100
PSI.
NOTE: A line filter
is
required when water
conditions have
a high
sediment content. Do
not
use
"self
piercing"
valves. Saddle valve kit
(part #4-20-088-0) available
from your distributor.
Route the water line
up
thru
the floor within
'/2" from wall,

is
recommended. The filler
strip width should be
added
to
the finished rough opening
dimension. A filler strip must
also be used when units are
installed hinge to hinge.
IMPORTANT: For
proper
operation
and
use the door
must open
a minimum
of
90

door opening. Remember
to allow enough clearance
in front
of
