Installation Preparation
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.
• The refrigerator’s Ice Dispenser
requires water supply access.
• 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: ⅜ in. / Rear: 1 in.
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 screw-
driver, 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 in. (6 mm) OD, cop-
per or braided, flexible stainless steel tubing. To de-
termine 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 ft., so the refrigerator can be
moved out for cleaning.
• A shuto valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT
use a self-piercing type shuto valve.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ice
maker inlet valve.
Water Supply Connection
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.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Copper or Stainless Steel braided, flexible tubing is recommended for the water sup-
ply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼ in. (6 mm) plastic is not recommended to be
used. Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufac-
turer will not be responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.
• DO NOT reuse compression fitting or use 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.

2. Remove any food from the door
shelves and close the doors.

2. Trace lightly around the door’s top
hinges with a pencil. This makes
reinstallation easier.

hinges. Lift doors up o lower hinges and
carefully set aside.

Be sure doors are set aside in a secure
position where they cannot fall and
cause personal injury, or damage to the
doors or handles.

Once both doors are in place, ensure they
are aligned with each other and level (See
INSTALLATION in the Use & Care Manual for
more details), and replace the top hinge cover.

be extended. Unscrew the 3 lower hinge screws
and slide the hinge inward.

Leveling & Door Alignment

Guidelines for final positioning of appliance:
• All 4 corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on
the 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 anti-tip legs.
To level the cabinet using the anti-tip legs:
1. Slightly open freezer drawer.
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.
To lower unit: turn
leg counterclockwise.
3. Ensure both doors are bind-free
with their seals touching the
cabinet on all four sides and that
cabinet is stable.
