INSTALLATION
caution
Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature
will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C).
The compressor will not be able to maintain proper
temperatures inside the refrigerator.
Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front of your
refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the
proper operation of your refrigerator.

Warning
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe
personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from electrical
power before connecting a water supply line to the
refrigerator.
caution
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply
line. Water supply tubing made of ¼” plastic is not
recommended since it greatly increases the potential
for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsible
for any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply
line.
• DONOTinstallwatersupplytubinginareaswhere
temperatures fall below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can
damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected
to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained
and working properly.
