CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Copper tubing is recommended for the
water supply line. Water supply tubing
made of ¼” plastic is not recommended
since it greatly increases the potential for
water leaks. Manufacturer nor retailer
will be responsible for any damage if
plastic tubing is used for supply line.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing
in areas where temperatures fall
below freezing.
• 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.

CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves or covers
with warm water when they are
cold. Shelves and covers may break
if exposed to sudden temperature
changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces.
This is normal. Glass shelves and
covers are heavy. Use both hands when
removing them to avoid dropping.
