NOTE: Installation requires a _/_in. (12.7 mm) clearance to remove the top grille and for proper airflow.

_ L .........

!. ½in. (12.7 mm)space required

Location Preparation:

1. Wall studs must be located on rear wall 80 in. to 90 in.

(203 - 229 cm) above floor. NOTE: The solid soffit must be within 1 in. (2.5 cm) maximum

above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is higher than 1 in. (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the refrigerator must be braced to prevent tipping during use. See the "Install Anti-Tip Boards" section.

2. Grounded electrical outlet should be placed in the top shaded area, 4 in. (10.2 cm) from the right side of the cabinets or end panel (see the "Electrical Requirements" section).

3. The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on either side of the refrigerator. The right-hand side is

recommended. The access hole through the right cabinet must be within 1/2in. (12.7 mm) of rear wall.

4. A 1/2in. (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be within the bottom shaded area (see the "Water System Connection" section). Water line can be through floor or wall. If the recommended water line location is used, no additional plumbing needs to be purchased.

Explosion Hazard

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

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,

or fire.

NOTES:

• 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).

• Floor must support refrigerator weight, more than 600 Ibs. (272 kg), door panels and contents.

• Ceiling height must allow for side or front tipping radius (see the "Tipping Radius" section).

• Location should permit doors to open fully (see the "Door Swing Dimensions" section).

ElectricalShock 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.

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 the copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¼ in. (6.35 ram) 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/_6in. (4.76 ram) 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 15 and 100 psi (103 - 690 kPa). If you have questions about your water pressure, call your utility company.

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 ampere 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, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and turn OFF

the Power On/Off Switch (see "Using the Controls" section in the

Use and Care Guide) or disconnect power at the circuit breaker box.

When you are finished, turn ON the Power On/Off Switch (see "Using the Controls" section in the Use and Care Guide) or reconnect power at the circuit breaker box. Then reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting,

Before bringing refrigerator into home, be sure you have adequate ceiling height to stand refrigerator upright.

NOTES:

• Dolly wheel height must be added to tipping radius when a doily is used.

• To reduce the tipping radius, see the "Reduce Tipping Radius" section.

Reassemble the trim and top grille after dolly has been removed from refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

• The solid soffit must be within 1 in. (2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is higher than 1 in. (2.5 cm) or one is not available, prevent the refrigerator from tipping during use as shown.

• It is recommended that board(s) be installed before refrigerator is installed.

• Board(s) must be long enough to fully cover width of compressor cover.

• Locate the board(s) so the bottom surface of the board(s) are 84 in. (213 cm) from the floor.

During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is % in. (6.4 mm) maximum between top of the refrigerator and bottom of anti-tip board(s). Do not crush the condenser cover when raising the rear leveling legs.

4. Compressor cover

Tools required: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7/_6in. and _/2in. open- end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, _/4in. nut driver and drill bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

3. Find a V2 in. to 1% in. (12.7 mm 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 % 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 1/4in. hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

Push the bulb end of the tubing into the water valve as far as it will go. Slide the nut forward and finger tighten. Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten itwith a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4in. 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.

9. Route copper tubing to the refrigerator.

1. Remove the shipping tape from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the refrigerator.

2. Before attaching copper tubing to the refrigerator, flush at least 2 quarts (1.9 L) of water through the copper tubing and

into a bucket to get rid of any particles in the water line.

3. Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Do not overtighten clamp or sleeve. This will crush the copper tubing.

4. Make connection to the refrigerator. Style 1 - Connecting to a Water Line:

Additional Parts Needed: Coupling, ferrule and nut. Slide the purchased nut, then the purchased ferrule onto the

tubing. Push the tubing into the purchased coupling as far as it will go. Slide the nut and ferrule forward. Tighten the nut by

hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.

Style 2 - Connecting to a Water Valve: NOTE: The water shutoff should be located in the base

cabinet on either side of the refrigerator. The right-hand side is recommended. The access hole through the right cabinet must be within 1/2in. (12.7 mm) of rear wall.

IMPORTANT: To prevent floor damage, make sure levelers are raised (not touching floor) and refrigerator is on rollers before moving.

1. Place top of cardboard carton or plywood under refrigerator. Remove dolly.

2. Do not remove protective film.

3. Move the refrigerator straight back and evenly into the opening. Check to make sure that water tubing is not kinked and power supply cord is on top of refrigerator next to the

cover.

NOTE: All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and stabilize the full weight of refrigerator. Rollers are for moving

refrigerator and not for permanent support. Use socket wrench to turn leg levelers on both sides of

refrigerator to the right (clockwise) until refrigerator weight is supported by leveling legs. The rollers should be off the floor. To avoid cabinet damage, do not apply more than 50 in./Ibs. (58 cm/kg) of torque to the leveling legs.

If needed, route door panels or install a filler panel between doors and decorative panels. See the "Custom Top Grille and

Door Panels" section.
