Connecting the water supply

When connecting the water pipe to
the solenoid valve of the appliance,
follow the instructions supplied by
the manufacturer of the ice cube
maker installation kit.

When bending the water pipe, be sure
not to kink it, otherwise there is a risk of
leaks and water damage.
Use bending aids.

^ Remove the cap from the appliance

connection, 1.

^ Bend the water pipe to suit the

location of the connection on the
appliance, 2.

^ Push the union nut and seal onto the

water pipe.

^ Push the end of the water pipe into

the appliance connection and screw
on the union nut, 3. First tighten by
hand.

^ Then use an open-ended wrench to

tighten the union nut. Do not over
tighten.

^ Open the shut-off valve and the main

water connection. Check for leaks at
the connection for the shut-off valve
and to the appliance.

^ Switch the appliance on.

After a maximum of 10 hours the first
ice cubes will drop out of the ice
cube maker and collect in the ice
cube container.
