4. Stand the refrigerator up. First, place the left bottom edge of
the refrigerator on the floor, stand the refrigerator upright and
then lower the right-hand side of the refrigerator to the floor.
5. 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 soffit must be within
1" (2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit 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 floor.
■ During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is
¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) 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.
To Install Anti-tip Boards
1. Mark the stud locations on rear wall 80" to 90" (203 cm to
229 cm) above floor.
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: 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) flexible, 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: Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flush
the main water supply line to remove particles and air in the water
line. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing the
water line may help avoid filters and/or water valves from
becoming clogged.
2. Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to the
water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto the
shutoff valve as shown.
NOTE: The shutoff valve shown is in the side cabinet as
recommended.
3. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff
valve ON.
4. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including
connections at the valve) that leak.
Style 2 - Copper Line Connection
NOTE: If there is a water supply line that meets the specifications
in “Water Supply Requirements,” proceed to “Connecting to
Refrigerator.” If not, use the following instructions to connect to
the household cold water supply.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a ½" to 1
¹⁄₄" (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
■ Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and keep normal sediment from collecting in the
valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the
water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use
¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both
ends of copper tubing are cut square.
