INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Connecting the Water-Supply Line
This consists of two options in which either: 1) code-
approved flexible tubing, or 2) copper tubing, is attached to
the main water-supply shut-off valve.
Style 1: Flex Tube to Shut-Off Valve
First, review the directions. Ensure you have a minimum
7-ft. code-approved, flexible supply line.
1. (With the refrigerator unplugged) Connect the flex
tubing to the water shut-off valve by threading the
provided nut onto the valve.
2. (With the open end of the tubing in a bucket) Turn
on the shut-off valve, check the fittings for leaks, and
tighten any loose connections.
IMPORTANT
• If you turn the refrigerator on before connecting the water line,
be sure to turn the ice maker off.
• With this installation style, a valve placed behind the refrigera-
tor would not allow the refrigerator front to be ush with the
cabinets on either side. For a “ush” installation, the shut-off
valve needs to be inside one of the base cabinets to the left/
right of the refrigerator.
NOTE
If the water-line connection from the home supply line does
not look like the connection in the graphic below, go instead to
Style 2: Copper Line to Shut-Off Valve.
Callout Description
A Bulb (engages water-valve outlet)
B Nut (slides forward to screw/attach to water-valve outlet)
C Flexible water line (carries water to refrigerator)
Removing the Packaging
The refrigerator comes bolted to a wooden pallet and
boxed in heavy cardboard.
Remove the packaging outdoors or in a space with a very
tall ceiling.
1. Carefully cut the banding at the top/bottom of the carton,
and lift the carton off the refrigerator.
2. Slide out the two rear-corner posts.
3. Remove the kickplate (taped to the top of the
refrigerator), and set it aside.
4. At the base of the refrigerator on both sides, remove all
six bolts that secure the refrigerator to the pallet.
5. From the freezer side, tilt the refrigerator, and remove
the bracket.
6. Slide the appliance dolly under the freezer side, and
carefully lower the refrigerator.
7. Place the corner posts on the refrigerator’s forward
corners (to protect those corners from tension from
security straps), and secure the refrigerator to the dolly.
8. With the appliance dolly, lift the refrigerator off the pallet.
CAUTION
• The refrigerator is secured to the pallet with six 1/2” bolts. Do
not lay the refrigerator down to remove the pallet.
• Do not cut, scissor, saw, or otherwise remove the carton with
sharp tools.
CAUTION
At least two people are needed to unbox the refrigerator safely.
CAUTION
• Do not roll/drag the refrigerator while it is on the pallet.
• Ensure the water line is clear of the appliance dolly.
NOTE
You may need to cut the corner posts to a usable length.
NOTE
The refrigerator’s front leveling legs are packed with the
kickplate. You will install the legs in a later procedure.
