I 0,11][_ 0 ]
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.
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."
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 the anti-tip boards are needed, they must be attached to the
rear wall studs 80" to 90" (203 to 229 cm) above the floor. See
"Install Anti-Tip Boards" for more information.
t®TORX is a registered trademark of Saturn Fasteners, Inc.
NOTE: A clearance of 1/2"(1.3 cm) must be maintained in front
of the refrigerator's side trim in order for the top grille to be
removed.
A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be placed within
4" (10.2 cm) of the right side cabinets or end panel. See
"Electrical Requirements" for additional information.
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 or the
back wall. See "Water Supply Requirements" for more specific
information.

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 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. The access hole
through the cabinet must be within V2"(12.7 mm) of the rear
wall.
NOTE: If the water shutoff valve is in the back wall behind the
refrigerator, it must be at an angle so that the tube is not
kinked when the refrigerator is pushed into its final location.

If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the plumbing
for the water line can come through the floor. A V2"(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 3Ae"(4.76 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a V4"
(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
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."

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.

Custom overlay panels allow you to blend the exterior of your
refrigerator into the overall kitchen decor and to use custom
handles for additional design flexibility.
The custom panels must have backer panels attached in order to
mount them to the refrigerator. It is most common to work with
three panels, as shown in the following graphic: a decorative
overlay panel, a 1/8"(3.18 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips and a
1/4"(6.35 mm) backer panel.

In some cases, your cabinet manufacturer may choose to work
with one panel routed for the different dimensions. Follow these
panel dimension and placement instructions to be sure that the
custom overlay panels will fit properly.
IMPORTANT:
• For 36" (91.4 cm) models, the refrigerator door overlay panel
cannot exceed 50 Ibs (23 kg) and the freezer drawer overlay
panel cannot exceed 20 Ibs (9.1 kg).
• For 42" (106.7 cm) models, the refrigerator door overlay panel
cannot exceed 30 Ibs (13.5 kg) and the freezer drawer overlay
panel cannot exceed 25 Ibs (11.4 kg).
• The weight of the top grille overlay panel cannot exceed
10 Ibs (4.5 kg) for both models.
To minimize panel weight, you may use 2" (5.08 cm) spacer strips
around the perimeter in place of full-sheet solid spacer panels.
The spacer strips must be set in at least 1" (2.54 cm) from the top,
bottom and side edges of the backer panel. If you use spacer
strips, it is also recommended that you use two 2" (5.08 cm) strips
horizontally centered for added support.

IMPO RTANT:
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
V4"(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.
To Install Anti-tip Boards
1. Mark the stud locations on rear wall 80" to 90" (203 cm to
229 cm) above floor.
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 (2.13m)flexible, codes approved water
supply line
Style 1 - Shutoff Valve Connection
NOTE: Ifyour 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.
NOTE: The shutoff valve shown is inthe side cabinet as
recommended.

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 1V4" (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPO RTAN1"."
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.
A. Co_ wa_rp_e
B.Pipe c_mp
C. Copper _b_g
D. 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 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.
