Preparing to install the refrigerator.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Water Supply to the Icemaker
You will need to connect the icemaker to a cold water line.
A water supply kit (containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings
and instructions) is available at extra cost from your dealer.
Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below
60°F. (16°C.) because it will not run often enough to maintain
proper temperatures.
Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
