Location Requirements
NOTES:
The cabinet depth refrigerator can be installed into a recessed opening, at the end of cabinets or
•
as a freestanding refrigerator.
If you are installing the refrigerator to t ush with the front of the base cabinets, all shoe molding
•
and baseboards must be removed from the rear of the refrigerator opening.
Location should permit doors to open fully. See the “Door Swing Dimensions” section.
•
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 lbs [272 kg], door panels and contents).
•
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your refrigerator into its nal location, it is important to make sure you have the
proper electrical connection.
6
Installation Requirements
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 avor 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 then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are nished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the
desired setting.
Water Supply Requirements
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.
TOOLS NEEDED:
• Flat-blade screwdriver • 1⁄4” nut driver
7
•
⁄16” and 1⁄2” open-end or • 1⁄4” drill bit
two adjustable wrenches • Cordless drill
IMPORTANT:
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
•
Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household tem-•
peratures will remain above freezing.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to oper-
ate 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 ltration 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 lter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction •
with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See “Water Filtration System” in the Use & Care Guide.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied plumber.

Installation Instructions
Unpack the Refrigerator
Remove the Packaging
Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, ammable uids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your
refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See
the cleaning instructions in the Use & Care Guide.

2. Find a
NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sedi-
ment from collecting in the valve.
3. 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 (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
4. Using a cordless drill, drill a
5. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tight­en the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or
you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready
to connect the copper tubing.
6. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown in the diagram. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end of the shutoff valve as far as it will go. Screw the compression nut onto the outlet end with an adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
7. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, turn ON main water supply and ush out
tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.

Installation Instructions
Prepare the Water System
Please read before using the water system.
Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make sure that the water system is properly
cleaned.
1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. The On/Off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment. Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown.
NOTE: Make sure the base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the horizontal position.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfec­tion before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
2. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to ow. Once water begins to ow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dis­pensed. This will ush air from the lter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water lter for use. Additional ushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water
may spurt out of the dispenser.
3. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. Move the switch to the ON (left) position. See the Use & Care Guide for further instructions on the operation of your ice maker.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
•
Discard the first three batches of ice produced.• Depending on your model, you may want to select the maximum ice feature to increase the pro-•
duction of ice.

IMPORTANT: All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.
Remove the Base Grille
1. Open the refrigerator doors to 90°.
2. Remove base grille. Grasp the grille with both hands. Lift up and tilt the top of the grille toward you.
NOTE: Do not remove the Tech Sheets fastened behind the grille.
Level the Refrigerator
There is a set of two leveling bolts on each side of the refrigerator behind the base grille. The top bolts
adjust the rear of the refrigerator, and the bottom bolts adjust the front of the refrigerator.
