B. CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY:
1.
Locate the ¼” copper water line with the white quick disconnect exiting the rear
of the machine. For your convenience, the water valve connection has been
previously established in the underside of the machine. No additional connections
are necessary behind the front or rear grills of the ice makers.
2.
The copper tubing, exiting the rear of the machine, will have a quick disconnect
¼” fitting ready to accept either a ¼” plastic (PVC) line or copper line. This will
depend on the water line established for your vessel. Either line is acceptable.
3.
Simply insert the plastic or copper line in the quick disconnect fitting until tight.
No tooling is required for this connection.
4.
During built-in installations, ensure that the plastic or copper line does not kink
during your mounting of the unit. It is recommended to leave a few feet of slack
coiled behind the machine (in either the plastic or copper line) for ease of removal
in the event the unit needs to be serviced.
5.
To remove the water line from the Mermaid Ice Maker, depress the white or grey
ring on the very end of the coupling fitting at the end with your water line and
pull gently on the plastic or copper line. Ensure that if you disconnect both, that
you re-establish a secure connection on both ends to avoid any water leaks.
Improper connection or removal resulting in water damage is NOT covered by
warranty. Ensure you follow all necessary precautions.
NOTE
AFTER COMPLETING THE WATER CONNECTIONS, TURN ON THE
WATER SUPPLY AND RECHECK THE WATER CONNECTIONS
BEFORE PERMANANTELY INSTALLING THE UNIT. DO NOT USE
TAPES OR SEALANTS ON CONNECTIONS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A
MINIMUM OF 20PSI AND A MAXIMUM OF 120PSI TO OPERATE THIS
UNIT.
