Brass ferrule

1/4" Copper tubing

Threaded

water-valve inlet

Brass nut

Refrigerator

Water supply

d. Slide water-supply tube into water-valve inlet port.

Slide ferrule and nut down to inlet port. Start nut
onto threaded inlet port. Turn nut down finger tight
and finish with a spanner.

2.

Confirm that connection is secure by pulling on
copper tubing.

3.

Turn on water supply valve at household plumbing
and check system for leaks.

4.

Use slack in tubing to form service loop behind
refrigerator taking care, as you do so, not to kink
the tubing.

Final Steps

1.

Plug in power cord.

2.

Move refrigerator into final location.

3.

Level refrigerator per instructions in the owner's
manual.

4.

Align refrigerator door.

a. Lay a carpenter's level across front edge of unit.

b. At bottom of unit, in front: Turn roller-adjustment

screws and/or use shims as needed to raise or
lower corners until unit is level and stable.

Rear roller
adjustment screw

Front roller

Bottom
hinge bracket

b. At top of unit, side opposite hinges, refrigerator

door corner should be about 1/8" higher than
corner at the hinge. Door will sag level when
loaded with food.

c. Lay a dime on refrigerator door gasket. Use dime

to space refrigerator doors 11/16" from edge of
cabinet.

d. Tighten all hinge screws.

5.

Clean the unit.

•
