Proper Disposal of

Your Old Refrigerator

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or

brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems

of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous

- even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily

climb inside.

REFRIGERATOR

INSTALLATION

_'_.-__ _ _ A¸ _ o_e,

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

refrigerator,

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury,

Removing packaging materials

• Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning

on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

• Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These

products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see the "Refrigerator Safety" section.

When Moving Your Refrigerator: Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator

for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it.

Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move

it, as floor damage could occur.

Cleaning before use After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside

of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the "Refrigerator Care" section.

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.

For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when re- moving them to avoid impact from dropping.

Explosion Hazard

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

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,

or fire,

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/2in. (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2 in. (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

D®o and A ignment

Door Closing

1. Move the refrigerator into its final position.

2. Place a level inside the refrigerator at the back of the top shelf (see Graphic 8).

3. Locate the leveling screws behind the base grille of the refrigerator on either side.

4. Use a hex-head socket wrench to adjust the rear roller leveling screws until the refrigerator is level. Turn the rear roller leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side (see Graphic 9). Make sure refrigerator is level before proceeding.

5. Check the door alignment after leveling the refrigerator.

Locate a _/2in. to 1V4in. (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical COLD

water pipe near the refrigerator. NOTE: 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 normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use V4in. (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

Using a grounded drill, drill a V4in. hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

Door Alignment

If the doors are uneven after leveling the product (see Graphic 10), follow the steps below.

1. Use a hex-head socket wrench to adjust the front roller leveling screws until the doors are even. Turn the front roller leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side (see Graphic 11).

NOTE: Open and close both the refrigerator and freezer doors after each adjustment to check the door alignment.

2. Open the doors and replace the base grille. Line up the grille support tabs with the metal clips. Push the grille firmly to snap it into place.

NOTE: Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille.

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

• If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFR

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

Tools required: Standard screwdriver, 7/16in. and V2in. open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, V4in. nut driver and drill bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a V4in. (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. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/1ein. (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Cold water supply

Connect the ice maker to a cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi. If you have questions about your water pressure, call your utility company.

Connecting to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

1. Cold Water Pipe 5. Compression Sleeve

2. Pipe Clamp 6.Shutoff Valve

3. Copper Tubing 7.Packing Nut

4. Compression Nut

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the V4in. drilled hole

in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws

carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

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.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is

clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.

Connecting to Refrigerator

Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do

not overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown.

This will help prevent damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back against the wall.

Turn shutoff valve ON.

Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
