2. Locate the compression fitting and ferrule packed with
the unit. Slide the compression fitting and ferrule over
the 1/4-inch OD water supply line. Do not use thread
sealing compound or tape. Using two wrenches,
tighten the compression fitting on the supply line (see
Figure 15
).
3. Carefully bend the water supply line into position and
connect the line to the solenoid valve (see
Figure 16
).
Avoid kinking the water supply line.
IMPORTANT
Route the water supply line through the unit so it does not
come into contact with any internal components other
than the solenoid valve. See
Figure 17
. Normal operation
creates some vibration. A water supply line contacting an
internal component or cabinet wall can cause excessive
noise during operation or damage to the line.
4. For recessed installations, allow extra water supply line
length to provide slack for easy removal from the
recessed area (see
Figure 17
). This will also safeguard
against kinking the line.

Electrical Specifications
CAUTION
Electrical installation must observe all state and local
codes. This unit requires connection to a grounded (three-
prong), polarized receptacle that has been placed by a
qualified electrician.
The unit requires a grounded and polarized 110/115 VAC,
60 Hz, 15A power supply (normal household current)
or a 220/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz power supply. An individual,
properly grounded branch circuit or circuit breaker is
recommended. GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) is
usually not required for fixed location appliances and is
not recommended for your unit because a GFCI could be
prone to nuisance tripping. However, be sure to consult
your local codes.
See
Figure 18
for recommended receptacle location.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD — Electrical Grounding Required.
• Never remove the round grounding prong from
the plug and never use a two-prong grounding
adapter.
• Never use an extension cord to connect power to
the unit.
