Location Requirements
The refrigerator can be recessed in an opening between cabinets
or installed at the end of a cabinet run using a side panel to
enclose the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
■Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
■It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near
an oven, radiator, or other heat source.
■Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall
below 55°F (13°C).
■Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than 600 lbs
(272 kg), door panels and contents of the refrigerator.
■Ceiling height must allow for side tipping radius. See “Tipping
Radius.”
■Location should permit door to open fully. See “Door Swing
Dimensions.”
■Location must permit top grille removal. See “Opening
Dimensions.”
Opening Dimensions
■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.
If anti-tip boards are needed, they must be installed to the rear
wall studs so that the bottom of the anti-tip board is 84"
(213.4 cm) from the floor. See “Install Anti-Tip Boards” for
more information.
NOTES:
■A clearance of ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) must be maintained above the
top grille in order for the top grille to be removed.
■Do not remove the foam gasket on top of the compressor
cover unless removal is necessary to fit the unit under a
soffit. Removal of the gasket will cause loss in cooling
efficiency.
■If installing under a solid soffit, after installation raise the
leveling legs so that the gasket is pressed snugly against
the soffit.
■A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be placed within
4" (10.2 cm) of the right side cabinets or end panel. See
“Electrical Requirements” for additional information.
■The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on
either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible
area. If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the
plumbing for the water line can come through the floor or the
back wall. See “Water Supply Requirements” for more specific
information.
NOTE: Flooring under refrigerator must be at same level as the
room.

Electrical Requirements
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet
that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an
extension cord.
IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the
power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality
and flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and
if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, remove the top grille and turn the master
power switch to OFF or disconnect power at the circuit breaker
box.
When you are finished, turn ON the master power switch or
reconnect power at the circuit breaker box. Then reset the control
to the desired setting.
Water Supply Requirements
■All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on
either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible
area. The right-hand side is recommended. The access hole
through the cabinet must be within ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm) of the rear
wall.
NOTE: If the water shutoff valve is in the back wall behind the
refrigerator, it must be at an angle so that the tube is not
kinked when the refrigerator is pushed into its final location.
■If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the plumbing
for the water line can come through the floor. A ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm)
hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6" (15.2 cm) from
the right or left hand side cabinet or panel. On the floor, the
hole should be no more than 1" (2.54 cm) away from the back
wall. See “Connect the Water Supply.”
■If additional tubing is needed, use copper tubing and check
for leaks. Install the copper tubing only in areas where the
household temperatures will remain above freezing.
■Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper
tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi
(207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and
ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a
reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the
refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and
827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
■Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
■Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill
after heavy usage.
■If your refrigerator has a water filter cartridge, it may further
reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a
reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.

then lower the right-hand side of the refrigerator to the floor.
5. Do not remove film or cover.
6. 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.
NOTE: The foam gasket, on top of the compressor cover, will
compress to fit under the anti-tip board(s). There is no need to
trim the gasket.
To Install Anti-tip Boards
1. Mark the stud locations on rear wall.
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.
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. Remove the shipping tape from the gray, coiled water tubing
on the rear of the refrigerator.
3. Remove the short, black plastic tube from the end of the water
line inlet. This tube protects the fitting during shipping only.
4. Thread the provided nut onto the shutoff valve as shown.
5. Turn shutoff valve ON.
6. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including
connections at the valve) that leak.
7. Plug in the refrigerator or reconnect power.
8. Flush the water system. See “Water System Preparation.”

Connecting to Water Line
NOTE: If existing water line meets the “Water System
Requirements,” see “Connecting to Refrigerator.”
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 1¹⁄₄" (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 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.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.
6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm)
drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the
pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp
screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal.
Do not overtighten.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten the
clamp or the sleeve. This will crush the copper tubing.
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.
8. Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper
tubing.
9. Check for leaks around the saddle valve.
Connecting to Refrigerator
1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove the shipping tape from the gray, coiled water tubing
on the rear of the refrigerator.
3. Remove the short, black plastic tube from the end of the water
line inlet. This tube protects the fitting during shipping only.
4. Measure the distance from the shutoff valve to the opening in
which the refrigerator will be located. Tubing must be
extended from the shutoff valve into the refrigerator opening
following specific guidelines. See “Water Supply
Requirements.”
5. A ¹⁄₄" x ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm to 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.
6. Turn shutoff valve ON.
7. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including
connections at the valve) that leak.
8. Plug in the refrigerator or reconnect power.
9. Flush the water system. See “Water System Preparation.”
NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard
the first three batches of ice produced. Allow 3 days to completely
fill ice container.

Move Refrigerator to
Final Location
IMPORTANT: To avoid floor damage, make sure levelers are
raised (not touching floor) and refrigerator is on rollers before
moving.
1. Place top of cardboard carton or plywood under refrigerator.
Remove dolly.
2. Do not remove film or cover.
3. Move the refrigerator straight back and evenly into the
opening. Be sure that the refrigerator side trims are not
interfering with the door opening. Also, be sure that the water
tubing is not kinked and the power supply cord is on top of the
refrigerator.
Level and Align Refrigerator
IMPORTANT: All 4 leveling legs must contact the floor to support
and stabilize the full weight of refrigerator. Rollers are for moving
refrigerator and not for permanent support.
After moving the refrigerator to its final location:
1. Use a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket driver to turn the leveling bolts clockwise to
extend the legs to the floor as shown. The rollers should be off
the floor.
2. Adjust the leveling legs to level and align the refrigerator from
left to right and front to back so that the refrigerator is level
and aligned with the cabinetry. The cabinetry surface must be
plumb for the ideal fit of the refrigerator side trim.
3. Continue adjusting all of the leveling legs to raise the
refrigerator until the top is within at least 1" (2.54 cm) of the
top soffit.
NOTE: If an anti-tip board has been used, adjust the leveling
legs until the top of the refrigerator is within ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) of
the bottom of the anti-tip board as shown. Do not crush the
compressor cover.
IMPORTANT: Adjust in small increments to keep from
damaging the cabinet trim and causing problems with
the door alignment or top grille fit. To avoid damage to
the cabinet or leveling legs, do not apply more than
50 inch-pounds (5.65 Nm) of torque to the leveling bolts.
The leveling legs can be extended to a maximum of 1¹⁄₄"
(3.18 cm) below the rollers.
4. For Overlay models, additional adjustments may be needed
after the custom panels are installed.
