Unpacking Your Refrigerator
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Removing packaging materials
■
Remove tape and any labels from your refrigerator before
using (except the model and serial number label).
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly
with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily
removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over
the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and
dry.
■
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For
more information, see the “Refrigerator Safety” section.
IMPORTANT:
inside your refrigerator, or the Tech Sheet that is fastened to the
base grille.
Do not remove any permanent instruction labels
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.
■
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for
.5 in. (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top.
.5" (1.25 cm)
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator
for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor.
Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it.
Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when trying to move
it, as floor damage could occur.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions
in the “Caring for Your Refrigerator” section.
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass
shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.
2" (5.08 cm)
■
If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave
some extra space at the back for the water line connections.
The refrigerator can be flush against the back wall if you do
not have an ice maker installed.
■
If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave
2 in. (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending on your
model) to allow for the door to swing open.
Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or
NOTE:
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall
below 55°F (13°C).

Door Closing
Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers — one on the
right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if
you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's
tilt using the instructions below:
1.
Move the refrigerator into its final position.
2.
The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies
which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side (see
Graphic 8).
3.
Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the
leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator
or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side. It may
take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust the tilt of
the refrigerator (see Graphic 8).
NOTE:
Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and
rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.
4.
Open both doors again and check to make sure that they
close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly
more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It
may take several more turns, and you should turn both
leveling screws the same amount.
5.
Replace the base grille.
NOTE:
Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille.

Connecting the Refrigerator
to a Water Source
Read all directions carefully before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■
If operating the refrigerator before installing the water
connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to prevent
operation without water.
■
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing
code requirements.
■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
■ Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will
remain above freezing.
■
It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin
producing ice.
Tools required:
■

Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a
NOTE:
¹⁄₄
in. (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper
tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercingtype or
and clogs more easily.
Cold water supply
The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is used
as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to be
connected to a cold water line with water pressure between 30
and 120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your utility company.
Connecting to water line:
Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
1.
Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
2.
enough to clear line of water.
Locate a ½ in. to 1
3.
water pipe near the refrigerator.
NOTE:
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 sediment from collecting in the valve.
To determine the length of copper tubing you will need,
4.
measure from connection on lower left rear of refrigerator to
water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator
for cleaning. Use
copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut
square.

pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten
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, especially if soft (coiled)
copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the
copper tubing.
Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper

tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely
as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end
with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and
8.
turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is
clear. Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water pipe. Coil copper
tubing.
Connecting to refrigerator:
Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression
1.
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do
not overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the
refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown.
This will help prevent damage to the tubing when the
refrigerator is pushed back against the wall. Move to step 2.
2. Turn shut-off valve ON. Check for leaks.
Tighten any
connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that
leak.

local water conditions require periodic cleaning or a well is
your source of water supply, a second water strainer should
be installed in the
¹⁄₄

strainer from your nearest appliance dealer. Install at either
tube connection.
