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. Flooring under refrigerator must be at same level as the room. Face of cabinetry must be plumb.

■ 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

IMPORTANT:

■ The width of the opening (Width A), from side to side, must be

as specified for your model, for at least 2" (5.08 cm) back from the face of the cabinet.

NOTE: If your opening does not meet this requirement, you will need to make modifications.

■ A solid soffit or wall cabinet must be installed 84" (213.4 cm)

above the floor. If the solid soffit is higher than 84" (213.4 cm) or one is not available, then the refrigerator must be braced.

If the anti-tip boards are needed, they must be attached to the rear wall studs so that there is 84" (213.4 cm) from the bottom of the anti-tip board to the floor. See “Install Anti-Tip Boards” for more information.

■ For a fully integrated installation, a minimum of 6" (15.24 cm)

of open space above the refrigerator is required. See “Fully Integrated Installation.” Anti-tip boards are required. See “Install Anti-Tip Boards” for more information.

■ A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be located within

a specified number of inches from the right-hand side cabinets or end panel. See the chart following the graphic for the number of inches required for your model. For more information, see “Electrical Requirements.”

■ The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on

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

IMPORTANT:

■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

■ There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush installation if

a water shutoff valve is located in the wall behind the refrigerator.

■ The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on

either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible area. The water supply line, however, must come up through the floor in the gray shaded area shown.

■ A ½" (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled on the

24"

(61.0 cm)

*83

³⁄₈"

(211.8 cm)

(see chart following)

floor at least 6" (15.2 cm) from the right or left hand side cabinet and should be no more than 1" (2.54 cm) away from the back wall. See “Connect the Water Supply.”

■ The water supply connection is made at the front of the

refrigerator.

■ 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, 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.

■ It is recommended that boards be installed before the

refrigerator is installed.

■ Boards must be long enough to fully cover the width of the

compressor cover.

■ Place the boards so that the bottom surfaces of the boards

are 84" (213 cm) from the floor.

■ During installation, raise the refrigerator up until the top of the

refrigerator is making contact with the bottom of the anti-tip boards. Do not crush the compressor cover when raising the rear leveling legs.

To Install Anti-tip Boards

1. Mark the stud locations on rear wall 80" to 90" (203 cm to

229 cm) above floor.

2. Securely attach 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 boards must overlap the compressor cover.

2. Place pieces of the shipping carton on the floor when rolling

the dolly and refrigerator into the house. Move the refrigerator close to the built-in opening.

3. Place top of cardboard carton or plywood under refrigerator.

4. Stand the refrigerator up. First, place the left bottom edge of

the refrigerator on the floor, stand the refrigerator upright and then lower the right-hand side of the refrigerator to the floor.

Connect the Water Supply

A B

DEF

Read all directions before you begin. IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is

connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

Connect to Water Line

Parts Needed

■ Minimum 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible, codes approved water

supply line

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:

■ There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush installation if

a water shutoff valve is located in the wall behind the refrigerator. The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on either side of the refrigerator.

■ 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. Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to the

water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto the shutoff valve as shown.

Style 2—Copper Line Connection

NOTE: If there is a water supply line that meets the specifications

in “Water Supply Requirements,” proceed to “Connecting to Refrigerator.” If not, use the following instructions to connect to the household cold water supply.

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 keep normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure

from the connection on the 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.

A. Bulb B. Nut

C. Water tubing

3. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff

valve ON.

4. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including

connections at the valve) that leak.

A. Cold water pipe

B. Pipe clamp C. Copper tubing D. Compression nut

E. Compression sleeve F. Shutoff valve

G. Packing nut

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.

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.

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.

8. Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper

tubing.

9. Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to the

water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto the shutoff valve.

10. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff

valve ON.

11. Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Tighten any nuts or

connections (including connections at the valve) that leak.
