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 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.

NOTE: A clearance of ¹⁄ " (1.3 cm) must be maintained in front of the refrigerator’s side trim in order for the top grille to be removed.

	(60.96 cm) min.

■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 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.

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.”

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.

Offset Dimension

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 lbs (23 kg) and the freezer drawer overlay panel cannot exceed 20 lbs (9.1 kg).

■For 42" (106.7 cm) 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

WARNING

Tip
Refrigerator is top	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:

■Do not remove the film covering until the refrigerator is in its operating location.

■All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.

■Keep the cardboard shipping piece or plywood under the refrigerator until it is installed in the operating location.

1.Remove and save the literature package bag taped to the side of the refrigerator and the parts bag behind the grille. Remove the four brackets (two on each side) that attach the shipping base to the refrigerator bottom.

NOTE: Do not remove tape and door bracing until the refrigerator is in its final location.

2.If necessary, reduce the tipping radius. See “Tipping Radius” for ceiling height requirements or “Reduce Tipping Radius” for step-by-step instructions. If you do not need to reduce the tipping radius, proceed to “Move the Refrigerator into House.”

Reduce Tipping Radius

(if required)

Before bringing the refrigerator into the home, be sure there is adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright. See “Tipping Radius” in the “Installation Requirements” section for more information.

If you do not have adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright, the tipping radius can be reduced by removing the top grille and side trims (see the following chart).

36" (91.4 cm) Models

2.Place pieces of the shipping carton on the floor when rolling the dolly and refrigerator into the house. Move the refrigerator close to the built-in opening.

3.Place top of cardboard carton or plywood under refrigerator.

4.Stand the refrigerator up. First, place the left bottom edge of the refrigerator on the floor, stand the refrigerator upright and then lower the right-hand side of the refrigerator to the floor.

5.Do not remove film or cover.

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

Install Anti-Tip Boards

IMPORTANT:

■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

¹⁄" (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.

2.Securely attach one or two 2" x 4" x 32" (5 cm x 10 cm x 81 cm) boards to wall studs behind refrigerator. Use six

#8 x 3" (7.6 cm) (or longer) wood screws. The wood screws must be screwed into the studs at least 1½" (3.8 cm). The board(s) must overlap the compressor cover.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

Style 1—Shutoff Valve Connection

NOTE: If your 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.Remove the shipping tape from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the refrigerator.

3.Remove the short, black plastic tube from the end of the water line inlet. This tube protects the fitting during shipping only.

4.Thread the provided nut onto the shutoff valve as shown.

A. Bulb

C. Water tubing

B. Nut

5.Turn shutoff valve ON.

6.Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including connections at the valve) that leak.

7.Plug in the refrigerator or reconnect power.

8.Flush the water system. See “Water System Preparation.”

NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. Allow 3 days to completely fill ice container.

Style 2—Copper Line Connection

Connecting to Water Line

NOTE: If existing water line meets the “Water System Requirements,” see “Connecting to Refrigerator.”

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 ½" to 1¹⁄ " (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 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⁄ " (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⁄ " (6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

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

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.Check for leaks around the saddle valve.

Connecting to Refrigerator

1.Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.

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

3.Remove the short, black plastic tube from the end of the water line inlet. This tube keeps the fitting from being damaged during shipping only.

4.Measure the distance from the shutoff valve to the opening in which the refrigerator will be located. Tubing must be extended from the shutoff valve into the refrigerator opening following specific guidelines. See “Water Supply Requirements.”

5.A ¹⁄ " x ¹⁄ " (6.35 mm to 6.35 mm) coupling is needed in order to connect the water tubing to an existing household water line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the end of the copper tubing.
