provided only as a possible customer
option. We recommend you use a

Transport Refrigerator To Site
By now, you have already removed your refrigerator’s shipping car-
ton. You may still need to use a hand truck to move it through close
spaces or entrances. If the refrigerator is larger than an entrance,
consider 2 options:
• Remove the entrance door if one exists.
• Remove the refrigerator doors (see how in your Use & Care Guide).
When using a hand truck:
• Load refrigerator from side of cabinet only.
• Do not run retaining straps over handles.
• Do not overtighten retaining straps.
• Never use refrigerator handles to move
the refrigerator.
• Remove packaging tape from doors only after the unit is in place.
CAUTION
Shifting the refrigerator from side
to side may damage flooring.

Final Positioning of Refrigerator
If possible, use a hand truck to position the refrigerator directly in front of its
cabinet enclosure.
Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond its water supply
(copper tubing) connections.
Plug in the power cord, and push the refrigerator straight back into place.
IMPORTANT
If you are installing your refrigerator without
connecting it to a water supply (some models),
make sure the ice maker’s power switch is turned
O (see the Use & Care Guide for more details).
CAUTION
• Shifting the refrigerator from side
to side may damage flooring.
• Do not block the lower front of your
refrigerator. Sucient air circulation
is essential for proper operation.

NOTE
• The ice maker’s fill valve may operate noisily if the household water supply is shut o.
• After ensuring no water leaks exist at any connection, be sure to check for leaks again
in 24 hours.
To Connect Water Supply Line To the Ice Maker Inlet Valve:
1 Disconnect the refrigerator from the electric power source.
2 Place the end of water supply line into a sink or a
bucket. Turn ON the water supply and flush the supply
line until the water is clear. Turn OFF the water supply at
the shuto valve.
3 Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet and
discard the cap.
4 If you use copper tubing, slide brass compression
nut, and then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line.
Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as
it will go (¼ in. / 6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into
valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto
valve. Tighten another ½ 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 ½ turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten.
See Figure 2.
5 With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line (cop-
per 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 ar-
range coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any
other surface.
7 To turn ice maker on, press the ice maker’s On/O
power switch so the LED is steadily illuminated.
8 Turn ON the water supply at the shuto valve and
tighten any connections that leak.
9 Reconnect refrigerator to an electrical power source.
