•Do not install refrigerator near oven, radiator or other heat source. If not possible, shield refrigerator with cabinet
material.
•Do not install where the temperature falls below 55oF (13oC) or rises above 110oF (43oC). Malfunction may occur at
these temperatures.
•Refrigerator is designed for indoor household application only.

When installing your refrigerator, measure carefully. Allow 1/2” (1.3 cm) space at top and 1/2” (1.3 cm) behind the
machine compartment cover (located in the rear) for proper air circulation. Sub-flooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet,
tile, wood floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than anticipated. Some clearance may be gained by using the
leveling procedure under “LEVELING”.

DANGER
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or
death, observe the following:
•Disconnect power to refrigerator before removing doors or
drawer. Connect power only after replacing doors or drawer.
•Green ground wire must be attached to top hinge while
performing door removal and replacement.
•Tape decorative panels (select models) securely into place before
removing door handles.
CAUTION
To avoid property damage observe the
following:
•Protect vinyl or other flooring with cardboard,
rugs or other protective material, prior to
moving refrigerator.
•DDooNNoottadjust refrigerator to be any shorter
than 68 1/2” tall (minus hinge and cap). Doing
so may damage underside components.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury or death, follow basic
precautions including the following:
•Do not attempt installation if instructions are not
understood or if they are beyond personal skill level.
•Do not service ice maker.
•Observe all local codes and ordinances.
•Water damage due to an improper water connection
may cause mold/mildew growth. Clean up spills or
leakage immediately.
CAUTION
To avoid property damage or possible injury, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
•Consult a plumber to connect 1/4” OO..DD..ccooppppeerrttuubbiinnggto
household plumbing to assure compliance with local codes
and ordinances.
•Confirm water pressure to water valve is between 35 and 100
pounds per square inch, 20 pounds per square inch without
a filter.
•Do not use a self-piercing, or 3/16” saddle valve. Both
reduce water flow, can become clogged over time, and may
cause leaks if repair is attempted.
•Tighten nuts by hand to prevent cross threading. Finish
tightening nuts with pliers and wrenches. DO NOT
overtighten.
•Wait two to three hours before placing refrigerator into final
position to check and correct any water leaks. Recheck for
leaks after 24 hours.
•Verify the copper tubing under the sleeve is smooth and free
from defects. Do not reuse an old sleeve.

NNOOTTEE::
•Use copper tubing only for installation. Plastic is less
durable and can cause damage.
•Add 8 feet to tubing length needed to reach water supply
for creation of service loop.
IINNSSTTAALLLLAATTIIOONN
1. Create service loop with copper tubing (minimum 2 feet
diameter). Avoid kinks in the copper tubing when bending
the service loop. Do not use plastic tubing. See figure 1.
2. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. See figure 2.
3. Place brass nut (A) and sleeve (B) on copper tube end as
illustrated. RReemmeemmbbeerr::Do not use old sleeve. The nut and
the sleeve are provided in the consumer literature packet. See
figure 3.
4. Place end of copper tubing into water valve inlet port. Shape
tubing slightly. Do not kink - so that tubing feeds straight into
inlet port. See figure 4.

the water supply connection for two or three hours prior to moving
the refrigerator to its permanent location.
7. Monitor water connection for 24 hours. Correct leaks if necessary.

•Determine which door needs to be raised.
•Turn front roller adjustment screws “A”
clockwise to raise front corner of door. (See
figure 9).
•If one refrigerator door has reached the limit of
its adjustment range and doors are still not
level, lower the opposite door by turning roller
adjustment screw counterclockwise.
•Check with level to verify 1/4” tilt to the back
for proper door closure.
8. Turn stabilizing legs “C” clockwise until firmly
