LOCATION & INSTALLATION SAFETY WARNING Observe all applicable codes and regulations. • Before installation, plug in and turn the refrig. ON to verify that it works. • Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source (incl. direct sunlight). • The refrigerator cabinet should be well-ventilated. (Review the cabinet dimensions to verify adequate air flow.) • Installation should not impede air flow through the front grill.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS The top-heavy refrigerator should be anchored to its cabinet to prevent tipping. (Instructions on securing the refrigerator to the cabinet are on Page 15 under Anchoring the Refrig. to Its Cabinet.) Knowing the side-tipping radius will help determine the refrigerator’s path through dooways, etc. on the way to its cabinet enclosure. (The graphics on this page show back- and side-tipping radii.) Back-Tipping Radius: 86 in. (218.7 cm) Side-Tipping Radius: 92 13/16 in. (235.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Removing the Packaging Connecting the Water-Supply Line The refrigerator comes bolted to a wooden pallet and boxed in heavy cardboard. This consists of two options in which either: 1) codeapproved flexible tubing, or 2) copper tubing, is attached to the main water-supply shut-off valve. CAUTION At least two people are needed to unbox the refrigerator safely. Remove the packaging outdoors or in a space with a very tall ceiling.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Style 2: Copper Tube to Shut-Off Valve 1. (With the refrigerator unplugged) Turn off the main water supply; turn on the nearest faucet briefly to clear the water from the line. 2. Find a 1/2” to 1 1/4” (1.3 cm to 3.2 cm) vertical coldwater pipe near the refrigerator. IMPORTANT If using a horizontal pipe, drill the pipe from the top to keep water away from the drill and to prevent sediment from collecting in the valve. 3.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 4. Connect the flex line to the refrigerator. Setting Up the Icemaker NOTE • The appliance temperatures are preset at 37°F (refrigerator side) and 0°F (freezer side). • Wait 24 hours for the temperatures to stabilize before adjusting them. 1. Open the upper grill door, and press the master power switch to turn on the refrigerator. 2. Open the freezer door, and on the ice maker, press-hold the Test button for 2 seconds.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installing the Anti-Tip Brackets Installing the Refrigerator These brackets are a safety measure that keep the topheavy refrigerator from falling out of its enclosure. 1. Position the line from the main water line to the refrigerator so you can access it easily when connecting to the refrigerator. 2. Plug in the refrigerator power cord. 3. Open the upper grill panel, and press the master power switch. 1.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Aligning the Refrigerator Doors Anchoring the Refrig. to Its Cabinet Stand back from the refrigerator, and note the door alignment. Shipping or custom installation of heavy door panels may have caused the doors to misalign. Performing this optional procedure keeps the refrigerator from being pulled from its cabinet. 1. Remove the rubber cap from the door’s leveling leg, and with a Phillips screwdriver, loosen (do not remove) the leg’s locking screw so you can turn the leg. 1.
