This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

DANGER

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING

Refrigerator is top	easily when not
completely installed.

Keep doors taped closed until refrigerator is completely installed.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Tools and Parts

IMPORTANT:

■Installer: Leave Installation Instructions with the homeowner.

■Homeowner: Keep Installation Instructions for future reference. Save these Installation Instructions for the local electrical inspector’s use.

Tools Needed

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

■	Cordless drill	■	Torx®† T15 and T27 screwdrivers
■	Drill bits	■	¹¹⁄ " nut driver
■	Adjustable	■	³⁄ ", ¹⁄ ", and ¹⁄ " open-end
	wrenches (2)		wrenches
■	Phillips screwdriver	■	⁄ " hex key
■	Small level	■	¹⁄ " and ⁄ " socket drivers
■	Appliance dolly	■	Tape measure
		■	Utility knife

Parts Needed

■#8 x 3" (7.6 cm) wood screws (longer screws may be needed) (6)

■2" x 4" x 32" (5 cm x 10 cm x 81 cm) wood board(s) (1 or 2)

■Make custom panels or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or carpenter to make the panels.

Overlay Series: Make custom panels, or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or carpenter to make the panels. See “Installation Requirements” for more information.

Stainless Series and Black Stainless Series are shipped complete.

■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⁄ " 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" (213.4 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 a soffit. Removal of the gasket will cause loss in cooling efficiency.

■If installing under a solid soffit, after, installation raise the leveling legs so that the gasket is pressed snugly against the soffit.

■The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on

either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible		Electrical Requirements
area. If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the
plumbing for the water line can come through the floor or

				77"	Recommended Grounding Method
				(196 cm)	A 115 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15or 20-amp fused, grounded

					and if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it.
					NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning,

■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.”

The location must permit the door to open to a minimum of 90°. Allow 5" (12.7 cm) minimum space between the side of the refrigerator and a corner wall.

NOTE: The required thickness for all panels is ³⁄ " (1.91 cm). More clearance may be required if you are using overlay panels or custom handles.

Overlay Series Custom Panels

Custom overlay panels allow you to blend the exterior of your refrigerator into the overall kitchen décor 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/ " (3.18 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips and a ¹/ " (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) single-door models, the refrigerator door overlay panel cannot exceed 50 lbs (23 kg) and the freezer drawer overlay panel cannot exceed 20 lbs (9.1 kg).

■For 36" (91.4 cm) and 42" (106.7 cm) French-door models, the refrigerator door overlay panel cannot exceed 30 lbs (13.5 kg) and the freezer drawer overlay panel cannot exceed 25 lbs (11.4 kg).

■The weight of the top grille overlay panel cannot exceed 10 lbs (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.

■The side panel should be a minimum of ¹⁄ " (1.27 cm) thick to avoid warping.
