CAUTION

To protect property and refrigerator from dam-

age, observe the following:

• Protect vinyl or other flooring with cardboard,

rugs, or other protective material.

• Do not use power tools when performing

levelling procedure.

To enhance the appearance and maintain perfor-

mance, the refrigerator should be level.

Materials Needed

• 3/8” hex head driver.

• Carpenter’s level.

Slide unit into opening, remove toe grill and

bracket covers.

Once unit is in place, adjust both front stabilizing

legs (B) securely against floor.

1. Remove toe grille:

• Grasp firmly and pull outward to unclip.

2. Remove bottom bracket

cover(s).

• Place the eraser end of a

pencil or similar blunt tool in

the cover notch.

• Use slight pressure to pry

the cover loose.

• Continue to maintain

downward pressure to the notched side of the

cover while swinging it off.

3. Using hex head driver, turn the front adjustment

screws (A) on each side clockwise to raise or

counter-clockwise to lower the front of the

refrigerator. (ensure the back of the unit is firmly

under the anti-tip bracket.)

Note: 30” models only have adjustment screws “A”

4. There are rear adjustment screws (B). Using the

hex head driver, turn each of these adjustment

screws (B) to raise or lower the rear of the

refrigerator. (ensure the back of the unit is firmly

under the antitip bracket.)

5. Using the carpenter’s level, make sure front of

than back of refrigerator and that the refrigerator

is level from side to side.

6. Turn stabilizing legs (C) clockwise until firmly

against floor.

7. Turn adjustment screws (A) counter clock wise

to allow the full weight of the refrigerator to rest on

the stabilizing legs.

8. Replace bracket cover(s):

• Position cover into the outer edge of the hinge.

• Swing the cover toward the cabinet and snap it

into place.

9. Replace the toe grill.

Use & Care Guide

Transporting Your

Refrigerator

• NEVER transport refrigerator on its side. If an

upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator

on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for

approximately 30 minutes before plugging it in to

assure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging

the refrigerator in immediately may cause

damage to internal parts.

• Use an appliance dolly when moving refrigerator.

ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side or back–

NEVER from its front.

• Protect outside finish of refrigerator during

transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets or

inserting padding between the refrigerator and

dolly.

• Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or

bungee cords. Thread straps through handles

when possible. Do not overtighten.

Overtightening restraints may dent or damage

outside finish.

Use & Care Guide

Materials Needed

• 1/4" outer diameter flexible copper tubing.

• Shut-off valve (requires a 1/4" hole to be drilled

into water supply line before valve attachment).

• Adjustable wrench • 1/4" hex nut driver.

• In-line water filter must be installed in an

accessible location to prevent damage to

refrigerator’s water solenoid.

Note:

• Add 8' to tubing length needed to reach water

supply for creation of service loop.

1. Create service loop with copper

tubing (minimum 2’ diameter)

Avoid kinks in the copper tubing

when bending it into a service

loop.

2. Remove plastic cap

from water valve inlet

port.

3. Place brass nut (A) and

sleeve (B) on copper

tube end as illustrated.

Reminder: Do not use an old

sleeve.

4. Place end of copper tubing

into water valve inlet port.

Shape tubing slightly. Do not kink – so

that tubing feeds straight into inlet

port.

5. Slide brass nut over sleeve and screw

nut into inlet port. Tighten nut with

wrench.

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten. Cross

threading may occur.

6. Pull on tubing to confirm connection

is secure. Connect tubing to frame

with water tubing clamp (C) and

turn on water supply. Check for

leaks and correct if necessary.

Continue to observe the water

supply connection for two to three

hours prior to moving the refrigerator

to its permanent location.

7. Monitor water connection for 24

hours. Correct leaks, if necessary.

2 diameter

minimum

To reduce the risk of injury or death, follow

basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before installing ice maker.

• Do not attempt installation if instructions are not

understood or if they are beyond personal skill

level.

• Observe all local codes and ordinances.

• Do not service ice maker unless specifically

recommended in Use & Care Guide or published

user-repair instructions.

• Disconnect power to refrigerator before installing

ice maker.

• Water damage due to an improper water

connection may cause mould/mildew growth

Clean up spills or leakage immediately.

CAUTION

To avoid property damage or possible injury,

follow basic precautions, including the

following:

• Consult a plumber to connect 1/4” O.D. copper

tubing to household plumbing to assure

compliance with local codes and ordinances.

• Confirm water pressure to water valve is between

35 and 100 pounds per square inch, 20 pounds

per square inch if there is not a water filter.

• Do not use a self-piercing, or 3/16" saddle valve.

Both reduce water flow and can become clogged

over time; and may cause leaks if repair is

attempted.

• Tighten nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.

Finish tightening nuts with pliers and wrenches.

Do not overtighten.

• Wait 2-3 hours before placing refrigerator into

final position to check and correct any water

leaks. Recheck for leaks after 24 hours.

• Verify the copper tubing under the sleeve is

smooth, cut square and free from defects. Do

not reuse an old sleeve.

Note: Some reverse osmosis home water systems cause

low water pressure. Low water pressure can effect the

water and ice dispensing system. Service problems related

to the home’s reverse osmosis system are not covered by

the warranty
