Cabinet Leveling & Refrigerator Door Alignment
Guidelines for Final Positioning of refrigera-
tor:
All four corners of cabinet must rest firmly on floor.
The front should be slightly elevated (to ensure that
doors close and seal properly.)
Doors should align with each other and be level.
Most of these conditions can be met by raising or
lowering the adjustable front rollers.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers (if
necessary):
1. Slightly open freezer drawer to
reveal anti-tip legs at bottom of
cabinet.
2. Lower anti-tip legs until they are
both touching the floor. Use a
pair of pliers to adjust.
To raise unit: turn leg clockwise
if looking from the top
To lower unit: turn leg counter-clockwise if looking from
the top.
3. Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals touching
the cabinet on all four sides and that cabinet is stable.

To make final door height adjustments
(if necessary):

Raise
1. Open freezer drawer to access hinges

2. Insert 6mm Allen wrench into the shaft
of the lower hinge. (Included with unit).
To lower door: turn adjustment screw

position; initially doors can only be adjusted
up.
To raise door: turn adjustment screw

down into the center hinge opening. Rotate
slightly in either direction until the door falls
fully seated onto the hinge.
3. Reinstall top hinges and screws.

Preparing For Installation
Be sure to coordinate site preparation and installation with your
kitchen contractor.
Include these minimum guidelines in your site preparation:
Choose a place near a grounded electrical outlet.
Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
Avoid direct sunlight and close proximity to a range, dishwasher
or other heat source.
Floor should be level and able to support a fully
loaded refrigerator.
Water supply access for your refrigerator’s
Ice Dispenser.
Plan for easy access to counter tops
when removing food.
For complete access to drawers and
freezer baskets, doors must be able to
fully open.
Load refrigerator from side of cabinet only.
Do not run retaining straps over handles nor overtighten straps.
Never use refrigerator handles to move the refrigerator.
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections: Sides & Top:
3
/
8
inch / Rear: 1 inch
CAUTION
Room temperatures below
55°F (13°C) or above
110°F (43°C) will impair
cooling ability of your
refrigerator’s compressor.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:
Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and
Phillips
TM
screwdriver
Access to a household cold water line with water pressure
between 30 and 100 psi.
A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6 mm) OD, copper or
braided, flexible, stainless steel tubing. To determine the
length of tubing needed, measure the distance from the ice
maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold
water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet, so the refrigerator
can be moved out for cleaning.
A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a
self-piercing type shutoff valve.
A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ice maker
inlet valve.
Connect Water Supply
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Wa-
ter supply tubing made of ¼ inch (6 mm) plastic is not recommended to be used. Plastic
tubing greatly increases the potential 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 reuse thread seal tape.
DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is
connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which
can cause death or severe
personal injury, disconnect
the refrigerator from electrical
power before connecting
a water supply line to the
refrigerator.
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.
2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water
supply and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water
supply at shutoff valve.
3. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
4. If you use copper tubing - Slide brass nut, then ferrule (sleeve)
onto water supply line. Push water supply line into water valve
inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet
and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another
half turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure 1.
If you use braided, flexible stainless steel tubing - The nut is
already assembled on the tubing. Slide nut onto valve inlet and
finger tighten nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a
wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure 2.
5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line (copper
tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
6. Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 2½ turns,
behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not
vibrate or wear against any other surface.
7. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections
that leak.
8. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.
9. To turn ice maker(s) on, ensure Ice Maker is enable on display
(LED is lit) or set the ice maker’s On/Off switch to the “ON” position
(freezer ice maker).
