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.
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)
■ 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
¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) 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.
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 cm to 229 cm) above the
floor. See “Install Anti-Tip Boards” for more information.
NOTE: A clearance of ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) must be maintained above
the top grille in order for the top grille to be removed.
■ A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be located within
a specified number of inches from the right-hand side
cabinets or end panel. See the chart following the graphic for
the number of inches required for your model. For more
information, see “Electrical Requirements.”
■ 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
information.

NOTE: Flooring under refrigerator must be at same level as the
room. Face of cabinetry must be plumb.
Electrical Requirements
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.
Water Supply Requirements
■ 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 ¹⁄₂" (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 ¹⁄₂" (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 ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄"
(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.”
Side Tipping Radius
The side tipping radius varies depending upon the width of the
model. Use the chart provided to determine the side tipping
radius.
NOTE: Tip on side only.

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).
1. Grasp both ends of the top grille.
2. Push the top grille straight up; then pull straight out. Lay the
grille on a soft surface.
3. Remove the six screws attaching each cabinet side trim to
the refrigerator and remove the side trims.
Move the Refrigerator into House
1. Place an appliance dolly under the left side of the refrigerator
as shown. Place the corner posts from the packing materials
over the trims and handles as appropriate to avoid damage.

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. Reassemble the trim and top grille after the dolly has been
removed from the refrigerator.
Install Anti-Tip Boards
IMPORTANT:
■ 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
¹⁄₄" (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

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.
3. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff
valve ON.
4. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including
connections at the valve) that leak.
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 ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.3 cm to 3.2 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 keep normal sediment from collecting in the
valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the 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.
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.
11. Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Tighten any nuts or
connections (including connections at the valve) that leak.

approved water supply line to be loose at the front of the
refrigerator for connecting to the refrigerator.
5. Connect the 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible codes approved water
supply line to the refrigerator.
NOTE: If the main water shutoff valve is behind the
refrigerator, a secondary water shutoff valve may be installed
in line with the water supply line at the front of the product.
6. Turn on the water supply valve and check all connections for
leaks.
Plug in Refrigerator
1. Set control switch at top of cabinet to the OFF position.

Level and Align Refrigerator
IMPORTANT: 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.
After moving the refrigerator to its final location:
1. Use a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket driver to turn the leveling bolts clockwise to
extend the legs to the floor as shown. The rollers should be
off the floor.
2. Adjust the leveling legs to level and align the refrigerator from
left to right and front to back so that the refrigerator is level
and aligned with the cabinetry. The cabinetry surface must be
plumb for the ideal fit of the refrigerator side trim.
3. Continue adjusting all of the leveling legs to raise the
refrigerator until the top is within at least 1" (2.54 cm) of the
top soffit.
NOTE: If an anti-tip board has been used, adjust the leveling
legs until the top of the refrigerator is within ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) of
the bottom of the anti-tip board as shown. Do not crush the
compressor cover.
IMPORTANT: Adjust in small increments to keep from
damaging the cabinet trim and causing problems with the
door alignment or top grille fit. To avoid damage to the
cabinet or leveling legs, do not apply more than 50 inch-
pounds (5.65 Nm) of torque to the leveling bolts. The leveling
legs can be extended to a maximum of 1¹⁄₄" (3.2 cm) below
the rollers.
