■If you are connecting the water line directly to copper tubing and not to a shutoff valve, you need a ferrule, a union, and a ¹⁄ " (6.35 mm) compression fitting.

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.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

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 cm) from the floor. See “Install Anti-Tip Boards” for more information.

NOTES:

■A clearance of ¹⁄ " (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

■If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the plumbing for the water line can come through the floor. A ¹⁄ " (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6" (15.2 cm) from the right-hand 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⁄ " (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄ " (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.

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.

■If needed, the tipping radius can be reduced. See “Reduce Tipping Radius.”

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.

Keep doors taped closed until refrigerator is completely installed.

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or serious injury.

1.Place an appliance dolly under the left side of the refrigerator as shown. Place the corner posts from the packing materials over the trims and handles as appropriate to avoid damage. Slowly tighten the strap.

NOTE: Pass the dolly strap under the handles.

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.

5.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⁄ " (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.

10

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:

■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.

C. Water tubing

B.Nut

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⁄ " (1.3 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⁄ " (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⁄ " (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⁄ " (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.
