2. Place pieces of the shipping carton on the oor when rolling
the dolly and refrigerator into the house. Move the refrigerator
close to the built-in opening.
3. Place top of cardboard carton or plywood under refrigerator.
4. Stand the refrigerator up. First, place the left bottom edge of
the refrigerator on the oor, stand the refrigerator upright and
then lower the right-hand side of the refrigerator to the oor.
5. Do not remove lm or cover.
6. Reassemble the trim and top grille after the dolly has been
removed from the refrigerator.
Install Anti-Tip Boards
IMPORTANT:
To avoid tipping during use, the solid soft must be within
1" (2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soft
is higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the
refrigerator must be braced.
It is recommended that board(s) be installed before the
refrigerator is installed.
Board(s) must be long enough to fully cover the width of the
compressor cover.
Locate the board(s) so the bottom surface(s) of the board(s) is
(are) 84" (213 cm) from the oor.
During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is
1/4" (0.64 cm) maximum between the top of the refrigerator
and the bottom of the anti-tip board(s). Do not crush the
compressor cover when raising the rear leveling legs.
NOTE: The foam gasket, on top of the compressor cover, will
compress to t under the anti-tip board(s). There is no need to
trim the gasket.
To Install Anti-tip Boards
1. Mark the stud locations on rear wall.
2. Securely attach one or two 2" x 4" x 32" (5 cm x 10 cm x
81 cm) boards to wall studs behind refrigerator. Use six
#8 x 3" (7.6 cm) (or longer) wood screws. The wood screws
must be screwed into the studs at least 1½" (3.8 cm). The
board(s) must overlap the compressor cover.
Connect the Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
Connect to potable water supply only.
If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
Connect to Water Line
Parts Needed
Minimum 7 ft (2.13 m) exible, codes-approved water supply
line
Style 1—Shutoff Valve Connection
NOTE: If your water line connection does not look like Style 1,
see “Style 2—Copper Line Connection.”
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power supply.
IMPORTANT:
There is not enough clearance to achieve a ush installation
if a water shutoff valve is located in the wall behind the
refrigerator. The water shutoff should be located in the base
cabinet on either side of the refrigerator.
Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, ush the main
water supply line to remove particles and air in the water line.
Allow enough ow so that water becomes clear. Flushing the
water line may help avoid lters and/or water valves from
becoming clogged.
