installation.
3.
Check for leaks after connection.
Connecting the water line:

a plain piece of copper tubing, attach a 19mm O.D.
3.
Connect water supply pipe to tap and water inlet valve.
4.
Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connections leaks.

1.
Find the floor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than
970mm as the length of the long drain water pipe provided with the ice maker
is about 970mm.
