Proper Disposal of
Your Old Refrigerator
AWARNING

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.

AWARNING
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.
AWARNING
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 V2 in.
(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).
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.

Door ■■■■-■■■■;?:
Door Closing
1. Move the refrigerator into its finai position.
2. Place a level inside the refrigerator at the back of the top shelf
(see Graphic 8).
3. Locate the leveling scre\ws 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 14 in. to VA in. (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical COLD
water pipe near the refrigerator.
NOTE: Florizontal 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
V4 in.
(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 V4 in. 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 OFF.
■ 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, Yie in. and Va in. open-end
wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, V4 in. nut driver and drill
bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 'A in.
(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 Tie in.
(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.

7. Packing Nut
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the Vi in. 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.
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.
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
1. 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.
2. Turn shutoff valve ON.
3. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
