7. On some models, the ice maker is equipped with a built-in
water strainer. If your water conditions require a second water
strainer, install it in the
¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube
connection. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest
appliance dealer.
Style 3
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray water
tube on the rear of the refrigerator.
3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long
enough, a ¹⁄₄" x ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) coupling is needed in
order to connect the water tubing to an existing household
water line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the
end of the copper tubing.
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench
two more turns. Do not overtighten.
4. Turn shutoff valve ON.
5. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including
connections at the valve) that leak.
Complete the Installation
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Wait a few minutes. Check that the compressor is operating
properly and that all lights are working.
NOTE: If the refrigerator does not operate, check that the
circuit breaker is not tripped or that the household fuse has
not blown.
3. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers” in the
User Instructions or User Guide.
NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Allow
72 hours to completely fill ice container.
IMPORTANT: If construction will continue after refrigerator has
been installed, unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
Leveling and Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two adjustable front feet — one on the right
and one on the left. In most cases, the refrigerator should be
steady when both feet are touching the floor. If your refrigerator
seems unsteady or if you want the doors to close more easily,
adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:
1. Move the refrigerator into its final location. Open both doors
to 90°. Remove the base grille by removing the two screws,
then pulling out on the outside corners.
NOTE: The doors must only be opened to 90°. If they are
opened all the way, the base grille will not come off.
2. The two leveling feet are located on the brackets on each side
of the product.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator
takes some weight off the leveling feet. This makes it easier to
make adjustments.
3. Use a
¹⁄₄" open-ended or adjustable wrench to adjust the
leveling feet. Turn the leveling foot to the left to raise that side
of the product, or turn it to the right to lower that side of the
product.
NOTE: Both leveling feet should be snug against the floor, and
the rollers should not touch the floor. This keeps the
refrigerator from rolling forward when opening the doors.
4. Open both doors again and check that they close as easily as
you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by
turning the leveling feet to the left. It may take several more
turns, and you should turn both leveling feet the same
amount.
5. Use a bubble level to check the leveling of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, turn the
leveling feet to the right until they are no longer touching the
ground. This will allow the refrigerator to roll more easily.
