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, 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 finished, 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:
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. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆"
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more
easily.
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 temperatures will remain
above freezing.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and
120 psi (207 - 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 - 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 - 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 - 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, 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,
qualified plumber.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator
Remove the Packaging
Properly dispose of packaging. 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.
IMPORTANT:
■ Use ³⁄₈" socket wrench to remove skids.
■ All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and
stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.
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.
■ Flat-blade screwdriver
■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" Open-end or two
adjustable wrenches
■ ¹⁄₄" nut driver
■ ¹⁄₄" Drill bit
■ Hand drill or electric drill
(properly grounded)
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.
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.
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.

Install Custom Door Panels
1. Remove any packing tape.
2. Remove the refrigerator and freezer door trims from the hinge
side of each door by pulling the trim away from the bottom of
the door first.
3. Partially unscrew the two screws that hold the top trim in
place. It is not necessary to completely remove the screws.
Loosen the screws at least ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) from the trim to allow
the panels to slide freely.
4. Remove the existing door panels, if panels were provided.
5. Slide custom door panels into place.
NOTE: The door panels may require ¹⁄₈" (3.18 mm) cardboard
fillers behind the panels to keep them from being loose in that
area.
6. Replace the hinge side trims by inserting the notched end
under the top trim first.
7. Tighten the two top trim screws.
Install New Water Line
(if required)
TOOLS NEEDED:
1. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
2. Find a
¹⁄₂" (12.70 mm) to 1¹⁄₄" (3.18 cm) vertical COLD water
pipe near the refrigerator.
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 sediment 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 ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both
ends of copper tubing are cut square.
4. Using a grounded drill, drill a
¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.
5. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be
sure outlet end is solidly in the
¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the
water 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.
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 flush out tubing until water is clear.
Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.
Connect Water Supply
Style 1 - Connection to Water Valve
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Before attaching copper tubing to refrigerator, flush at least
2 qt (1.9 L) of water through the copper tubing and into a
bucket to get rid of any particles in the water line.
3. Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Do not overtighten
clamp or sleeve. This will crush copper tubing.
4. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not
overtighten.
5. 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.
6. Turn shutoff valve ON.
7. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
8. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your
water conditions require a second water strainer, install it in
the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain
a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.

■ For full-overlay cabinets, leave ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) gap between
the refrigerator’s top hinges and the cabinets.
■ If you do not have a cabinet above the refrigerator, simply
adjust the refrigerator to make it level.
3. Adjust the rear leveling bolt to bring the refrigerator level with
the side cabinets or cabinet end panels.
4. If you want, you may now use the four leveling bolts to raise
the refrigerator to reduce the gap between the refrigerator top
hinge and the cabinet opening. Check that all four leveling
legs still touch the floor and that the cabinet doors above the
refrigerator open all the way.

2. Replace the base grille. Place the lower clips into the bottom
of the refrigerator and roll the grille up until it snaps into place.
