Troubleshooting:
- Find the water supply and drain in an adjacent cabinet.
- Route the water supply through the shaded area shown in the illustration below.
- Connect the water supply line to a hot water house supply with an easily accessible shut-off valve between the supply and the unit.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: This appliance is intended for connection to a hot water supply. Water lines cannot be exposed to freezing temperatures.
- Purge the water line before final connection to the unit.
- This will remove any debris that may be present in the tubing from installing the new water line.
- Connect the braided tubing from the unit to the house water supply line with the fitting provided.
- Check all water line fittings for leaks.

Answer:
Installation must comply with all applicable plumbing codes. Any opening into the adjacent cabinet must meet the following: the longest dimension of the opening shall not be more than 1-1/2" (38).
- This is a new agency requirement.
- The size of the opening for the drain line cannot exceed 1-1/2" at any point, regardless of the shape of the hole.
