If the custom panel is less than 1/4" thick and it fits
loosely in the door frame it can be backed up with
a piece of filler material or foam tape to improve
the fit.
IMPORTANT NOTE – Dispenser Models
The refrigerator is supplied with two dispenser trims,
one for framed panels and one for overlay panels.
• If the panel is less than 0.250" thick a noticeable
gap may be created around the dispenser trim.

be secured to a 1/4" thick backer panel which slides
into the trim. A spacer panel 0.10" thick must be placed
between the overlay and backer panel.
Assemble the panels with glue and screws.
• Center the spacer panel on the backer panel, left to
right and top to bottom. Secure the panels with glue.
• Center the spacer and backer panel on the overlay
panel and secure with glue and screws. Screws must be
countersunk into the backer panel.
IMPORTANT NOTE – Dispenser Models
The refrigerator is supplied with two dispenser trims,
one for framed panels and one for overlay panels.
The overlay dispenser trim is designed to fit a total
panel thickness of 1.100".
• If the panel is less than 1.100" a noticeable gap may
be created around the dispenser trim.
• If the panel is more than 1.100" the dispenser trim
cannot be secured to the door.

FLOORING
For proper installation, this refrigerator must be
placed on a level surface of hard material that is at
the same height as the rest of the flooring. This
surface should be strong enough to support a fully
loaded refrigerator, or approximately 700 lbs.
NOTE: Protect the finish of the flooring. Cut a large
section of the cardboard carton and place under the
refrigerator where you are working.
GROUNDING THE REFRIGERATOR
IMPORTANT - (Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.
HARDWARE SUPPLIED
• Water filter bypass plug
• Anti-Tip brackets
• Special 3M Dual Lock adhesive strips for 1/4" side
panels
• 1/4" nut and ferrule

MATERIALS REQUIRED
• 35" long 2x4 for Anti-Tip support.
• Copper water line tubing
• Water shut-off valve (optional but recommended)
• Custom panels for doors and grille panel
• Screws to secure refrigerator to cabinetry.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT
OR REMOVE THE THIRD

STEP 1 REMOVE PACKAGING
CAUTION: Refrigerator is much heavier at the
top than at the bottom – be careful when moving.
When using a hand truck, handle from side only.
PRUDENCE: Le réfrigérateur est beaucoup plus

déplacements. Si un diable est utilisé, il faut soulever
le réfrigérateur sur le côté seulement.
• Carefully cut banding at the top and bottom, remove
outer carton.
• Slide out back corner posts (2).
• Slide carton off top of cabinet.
NOTE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LAY CABINET
DOWN IN ORDER TO REMOVE SKID!
• The unit is secured to the skid with 4 slotted tie-down
straps. Remove the four 5/16" bolts from the base
channels in the tie-downs.
STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE

bolts securing the straps
to the skid.

• Support blocks on the bottom of the refrigeration
case must be removed before sliding unit off skid or
damage will occur. Carefully, tilt refrigerator and
slide blocks out from beneath, slide unit off skid.
• Remove toekick, set aside for final installation.
• A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route 1/4" OD copper tubing between house cold
water line and the water connection location.
• Copper tubing should be long enough to extend to
the front of the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to
accommodate bend leading into the water line
connection.
Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the
line of water.
• Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water
valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet.
The shut-off valve should be located where it will be
easily accessible.
NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a vertical water
pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal water
pipe, make the connection at the top or side, to
avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.
• Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe.
• Fasten the shut-off valve to the pipe with pipe clamp.
• Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell. Do not over tighten.
• Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the
end of the tubing and connect it to the shut-off valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve
and ferrule is tightened.
• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris. Run
about a quart of water through the tubing into a
bucket. Shut off water supply at the shut-off valve.

of the refrigerator.
• To level the back of the refrigerator, turn the 7/16"
hex nut located above the front wheels. Turn
clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the
refrigerator.
• For front leveling, use a 1-1/4" open-end wrench.
• Adjust height of refrigerator to match installation
cutout opening 83-1/2" to 84-1/2". The refrigerator
should be level and plumb with cabinetry.
