• Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommended for the wa-  
ter supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼ inch (6 mm) plastic is  
not recommended to be used. Plastic tubing greatly increases the po-  
tential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible  
for any damage if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.  
Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.  
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall  
below freezing.

wrench to turn the adjustment screws (1 per side).  
To raise: turn adjustment screw clockwise.

touching the cabinet on all four sides and that cabinet
