IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong.
Do not use an adapter or an extension cord.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong
from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
•The power cord of this appliance
is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of
electric shock hazard from this
appliance.
•Have the wall outlet and circuit
checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded.
•Where a standard 2-prong wall
outlet is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-
prong wall outlet.

supply is required. This provides
the best performance and also
prevents overloading house
wiring circuits which could cause
a fire hazard from overheated
wires.
•Never unplug your refrigerator
by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
•Immediately discontinue use of
a damaged supply cord. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must

CONNECTING TO THE HOUSE WATER LINE
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Attach tubing clamp using existing hole only. DO NOT drill into the
refrigerator.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Connect to potable water supply only. A cold water supply is required for
automatic ice maker operation. The water pressure must be between 21
and 121 psi (147-834 kilo-Pascals).
•A copper or approved flexible universal refrigerator tubing kit or ice-
maker install kit with 1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to
the water supply. If using copper, be sure both ends of the tubing are cut
square.
•A cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 21 and 121 psi
(147-834 kPa).
•Power drill.
•1/2" or adjustable wrench.
•Straight and Phillips blade screwdriver.
•Two 1/4" outer diameter compression nuts and two ferrules
(sleeves) to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve
and the refrigerator water valve, OR you can find kits that
come with all parts included such as Stop Tee and
compressing fittings.
•If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting at the end, you will
need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the
water line to the refrigerator, OR you can cut off the flared fitting with a
tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.
•Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff
valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inner
diameter of 5/32" at the point of connection to the cold
water line. Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many
water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-
type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

NOTE:
•Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure
the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall
outlet.
•Before connecting the water line to the house, purge the
house line for at least 2 minutes.
•Only use approved plastic universal tubing if not using
copper tubing. Cross linked High Density Polyethylene
(PEX) hose is extremely durable and is becoming
increasingly preferred.
•Install a shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used
drinker water line.
1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Then turn on the nearest faucet long
enough to clear the line of water.
2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose an easily accessible location on the
cold water pipe for the shutoff valve. It is
best to connect into the side of a vertical
water pipe. When it is necessary to connect
into a horizontal water pipe, make the
connection to the top or side, rather than
at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any
sediment from the water pipe.
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe (even if
using a self-piercing valve) using a sharp
bit. Be cautious not to allow water to drain
into the drill. Remove any burrs resulting
from drilling the hole in the pipe. Failure to
drill a 1/4" hole may result in reduced ice
production or smaller cubes.

18
4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water
pipe with the pipe clamp.
NOTE:
•Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Plumbing Codes
248CMR shall be adhered to.
Saddle valves are illegal and use
is not permitted in
Massachusetts. Consult with
your licensed plumber.
5. TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing
washer begins to swell.
NOTE:
•Do not over tighten or you may
crush the tubing.
6. ROUTE THE TUBING
Route the tubing between the cold water
line and the refrigerator. Route the tubing
through a hole drilled in the wall or floor
(behind the refrigerator or adjacent the
base cabinet) as close to the wall as
possible.

7. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE
Place the compression nut and ferrule
(sleeve) for copper tubing onto the end of
the tubing and connect it to the shutoff
valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted
into the valve. Tighten the compression nut
securely. For plastic tubing with the water
line union connector (included), insert the
molded end of the tubing into the shutoff
valve and tighten the compression nut until
it is hand tight, then tighten one additional
turn with a wrench.
NOTE:
•Over tightening may cause leaks.

8. FLUSH THE TUBING
Turn on the main water supply and flush
out the tubing until the water is clear. Shut
off the water at the water valve after
about 1 quart (1 Liter), or 2 minutes, of
water has been flushed through the tubing.
COMPLETING INSTALLATION
TURN ON THE POWER
Plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet, and
carefully push the refrigerator into the final position.
LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR
Adjustable legs at the front corners of the refrigerator should be set so the
refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor, and the front is raised just
enough that the door closes easily when opened about halfway.
•To adjust the leveling legs, turn the legs clockwise to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it.
