Move the Refrigerator into House
1.
Place an appliance dolly under the left side of the refrigerator
as shown. Place the corner posts from the packing materials
over the trims as appropriate. Slowly tighten the strap.
2.
Place pieces of the shipping carton on the floor when rolling
the dolly and refrigerator into the house. Move the refrigerator
close to the built-in opening.
3.
Place top of cardboard carton or plywood under refrigerator.
4.
Stand the refrigerator up. First, place the left bottom edge of
the refrigerator on the floor, stand the refrigerator upright and
then lower the right-hand side of the refrigerator to the floor.
5.
Reassemble the trim and top grille after the dolly has been
removed from the refrigerator.
Install Anti-Tip Boards
IMPORTANT:
■
If a solid soffit is not available, anti-tip boards must be installed.
■
It is recommended that boards be installed before the
refrigerator is installed.
■
Boards must be long enough to fully cover the width of the
compressor cover.
■
Place the boards so that the bottom surfaces of the boards
are 84" (213 cm) from the floor.
■
During installation, raise the refrigerator up until the top of the
refrigerator is making contact with the bottom of the anti-tip
boards. Do not crush the compressor cover when raising the
rear leveling legs.
NOTE:
The foam gasket, on top of the compressor cover, will
compress to fit under the anti-tip board(s). There is no need to
trim the gasket.
To Install Anti-tip Boards
1.
Mark the stud locations on rear wall.
2.
Securely attach two 2" x 4" x 32" (5 cm x 10 cm x 81 cm)
boards to wall studs behind refrigerator. Use six #8 x 3"
(7.6 cm) (or longer) wood screws. The wood screws must
be screwed into the studs at least 1½" (3.8 cm). The boards
must overlap the compressor cover.
Connect the Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line
is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
Connect to Water Line
Parts Needed
■
Minimum 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible, codes-approved water
supply line
Style 1—Shutoff Valve Connection
NOTE:
If your water line connection does not look like Style 1,
see “Style 2—Copper Line Connection.”
1.
Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power supply.
IMPORTANT:
■
There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush installation if a
water shutoff valve is located in the wall behind the refrigerator.
The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on
either side of the refrigerator.
■
Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flush the main
water supply line to remove particles and air in the water line.
Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing the
water line may help avoid filters and/or water valves from
becoming clogged.
