easily.

used infrequently, ice cubes may stick together or
shrink.

cause valve to leak. Self-piercing valves cause low
water pressure. Amana recommends using a
saddle valve. Contact Kleenmaid for availability.
Do not use self-piercing valve.  Amana is not
responsible for property damage due to improper
installation or water connection.
