Location Requirements
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
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. See
“Water Supply Requirements” for more information.

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 water supply line, however, must come up through
the floor in the gray shaded area shown.
NOTE: There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush
installation if a water shutoff valve is located in the wall
behind the refrigerator.
■ A ½" (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled on the
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.
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.

■ When leveling legs are fully extended to 1¹⁄₄" (3.2 cm) below
rollers, add 1¹⁄₄" (3.2 cm) to the height dimensions.
Tipping Radius
Be sure there is adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator
upright when it is moved into place.
■ The dolly wheel height must be added to the tipping radius
when a dolly is used.
Side Tipping Radius
The side tipping radius varies depending upon the width of the
model. Use the chart provided to determine the side tipping
radius.
NOTE: Tip on side only.
Door Swing Dimensions
The location must permit both doors to open to a minimum of
90°. Allow 4¹⁄₂" (11.4 cm) minimum space between the side of the
refrigerator and a corner wall.
NOTE: More clearance may be required if you are using wood
overlay panels, custom handles, or extended handles.

Fully Integrated Grille Installation Requirements
The refrigerator can be installed fully integrated if the adjacent
cabinetry meets the airflow venting requirements critical to
refrigerator performance. A Fully Integrated Grille installation has
no visible air gap because the grille extends upward to the soffit
or upper cabinet.
IMPORTANT:
■ A Fully Integrated Grille installation requires a minimum of 6"
(15.24 cm) of open space above the refrigerator. This space
must not be blocked in any way, including by soffits.
■ Both Standard and Fully Integrated Grille installations can be
achieved with either a 24" (60.9 cm) or 25" (63.5 cm) deep

Install Anti-Tip Boards
IMPORTANT:
■ If a solid soffit is not available, an anti-tip board must be
installed.
■ 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 until the top of the
refrigerator is making contact with the bottom of the anti-tip
board(s). 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 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.
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: 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.
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.

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.
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.
Connect to Refrigerator

2. Move the refrigerator straight back and evenly into the
opening. Be sure that the water tubing is not kinked and the
power supply cord is on top of the refrigerator.
NOTE: If the power supply cord is behind the refrigerator, it
will not install properly.
3. Make sure the installation block is flush with the adjacent
cabinets.
NOTE: To achieve a flush installation, it is critical to verify a
³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) depth from the front face of the adjacent
cabinetry to the refrigerator.
Level and Align Refrigerator
IMPORTANT: All four leveling legs must contact the floor to
support and stabilize the full weight of refrigerator. Rollers are for
moving the refrigerator, 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 cabinets.
3. Continue adjusting all of the leveling legs to raise the
refrigerator until the top is within at least ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) of the
top soffit as shown.
NOTE: If an anti-tip board has been used, adjust the leveling
legs until the top of the refrigerator is making contact with the
bottom of the anti-tip board(s). 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. After leveling the refrigerator, again use a straight edge or 4-ft
level across the front of the refrigerator installation blocks to
the cabinets to check that the refrigerator is still flush.
