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 Ibs
(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."
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.

(see chart following)
Opening Dimensions
The width of the opening, 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."

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.
Flooring under refrigerator must be at same level as the
room. Face of cabinetry must be plumb.
E®c , cca ,,, ,,.........
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.
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.
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
The water supply line must come up through the floor in the
gray shaded area shown.
The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on
either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible
area. The right-hand side is recommended.
NOTE: There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush
installation if awater shutoff valve is located in the wall behind
the refrigerator.
6"
(15.2 cm)
t
6" (2.54 cm)
,2 (15.2 c
A 1/2"(12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6"
(15.2 cm) from the right 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 34e"(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.
IMPORTAN1"."
• The depth from the front face of the doors to the back of the
refrigerator cabinet is 24" (60.96 cm) without panels.

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 1/2"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 lower left rear of 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.

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.
5.
Connect the 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible codes approved water

Tip Over Hazard
Refrigerator is top heavy and tips easily when not
completely installed.
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.
IMPORTANT:
• To avoid floor damage, make sure levelers are raised (not
touching floor) and refrigerator is on rollers before moving.
Use the installation block, attached to the door hinge, as a
reference to make sure the refrigerator is pushed back far
enough into the opening, so that when the panels are installed
they will be flush with the adjacent cabinets.
NOTE: A flush installation is not possible with a 24" (60.9 cm)
deep opening.
• After the refrigerator is leveled and aligned, remove the
installation block from the door hinge and use it to check the
spacing between the panels and adjacent cabinets.
