AVERTISSEMENT

alimentation d’eau potable seulement.

• A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure must be
between 40 and 120 p.s.i. (275-827 kPa).

• Route 1/4” OD copper or SmartConnect™ plastic
tubing between house cold water line and the water
connection location.

• The tubing should be long enough to extend to the
front of the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to
accommodate the bend leading into the water line
connection.

NOTE: The only Monogram approved plastic tubing is
supplied in the SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kits.
Do not use any other plastic water supply line because
the line is under pressure at all times. Other types of
plastic may crack or rupture with age and cause water
damage to your home.

SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available
in the following lengths:
2’ (.6 m) WX08X10002
8’ (2.4 m) WX08X10006
15’ (4.6 m) WX08X10015
25’ (7.6 m) WX08X10025

Shut off the main water supply.

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line
of water.

• Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water
valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet.
The shut-off valve should be located where it will be
easily accessible.

• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris.
Run about a quart of water through the tubing into a
bucket. Shut off the water supply at the shut-off valve.

NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in
many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure
a saddle type valve complies with your local plumbing
codes.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing
Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves
are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.

NOTICE: The rear leveling wheels and front leveling
legs are limited to a maximum height adjustment of
1” (2.54 cm). If the installation requires more than
84-1/2” (214.63 cm) height, the installer should
elevate the refrigerator on a sheet of plywood or
runners. Cabinetry trim could also be added across
the top of the opening to shorten the opening. If you

attempt to raise the refrigerator more than 1”
(2.54 cm), you will damage the front leveling legs
and the rear leveling wheels. Make adjustments in
small increments.

Installation Instructions - Flush Installation

STEP 7 ANIT-TIP PROCEDURE

(continued)

We recommend units for flush installation be
installed under a soffit. If this is not possible, follow
these instructions using the mounting brackets.

• Cut a 2” x 4” block, 35” (88.9 cm) long and secure the
block to the mounting brackets provided using #12 or
#14 wood screws.

• Secure the bracket with wood block to the back wall
so that it is 84” (213.36 cm) from the finished floor.
Use #12 or #14 wood screws. See the illustration.

• The screws must
penetrate at least
one inch into the
vertical wall studs.

• If metal wall studs
then use self­tapping sheet metal
screws in place of
the wood screws
to secure the block
and brackets to the
wall.

STEP 8 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR

All models have 4-point leveling. The front is supported
by leveling legs, the rear is supported by adjustable
wheels. Both are accessible from the front of the
refrigerator.

• To level the back of the refrigerator, turn the 7/16”
hex nut located above the front wheels. Turn
clockwise to raise or
counterclockwise to lower
the refrigerator.

• For front leveling, use a
1-1/4” open-end wrench.

• Adjust height of refrigerator
to match installation cutout
opening 84-1/2”
(214.63 cm). The refrigerator
should be level and plumb
with cabinetry.

NOTICE: The rear leveling wheels and front leveling
legs are limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1”
(2.54 cm). If the installation requires more than 84-1/2”
(214.63 cm) height, the installer should elevate
the refrigerator on a sheet of plywood or runners.
Cabinetry trim could also be added across the top of
the opening to shorten the opening. If you attempt

to raise the refrigerator more than 1” (2.54 cm),
you will damage the front leveling legs and the
rear leveling wheels. Make adjustments in small
increments.
