Installation Instruction

Installing the Ice Maker
Making preparations
Refer to the illustration below for the following steps.
1. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall so that you can easily
access the rear panel.
2. Unplug Refrigerator or disconnect power.
IMPORTANT: If you have a side-by-side model refrigerator-
freezer, be sure when you open the freezer door to work
inside that you do not force the door against the stop at the
bottom of the door. If you bend the stop, the door will not
close properly.
3. On appliances with a top freezer, open the freezer door
and remove all of the food items from inside the freezer
compartment.
For side-by-side units, you should only have to remove food
items from the top half of the freezer section. This should
give you enough room to access the areas to install the ice
maker.
4. On top-mount models without a full-width freezer shelf,
remove the ice tray shelf. Place the shelf aside, as you will
use it later to support the ice bucket. If you have a side-by-
side model refrigerator, proceed to “Side-by-side models” on
page 7. If you have a refrigerator with a top freezer, or an
upright freezer proceed to “Top/Upright freezer models” on
page 9.
NOTE: The work area for all three model refrigerator-freezers
is shown in DETAIL A below.
