44 CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage: e Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommended for the wa- ter supply line. Water supply tubing made of 14 inch (6 mm) plastic is not recommended to be used. Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be respon- sible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for the supply line. e Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape. e DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing. e Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker.

If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly. e The sides should tilt 4 inch (6 mm) from front to back (to ensure that doors close and seal properly). e« Doors should align with each other and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the adjustable front rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers: the floor.
