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:

■

To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within
1" (2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is
higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the
refrigerator must be braced.

■

It is recommended that board(s) be installed before the
refrigerator is installed.

■

Board(s) must be long enough to fully cover the width of the
compressor cover.

■

Locate the board(s) so the bottom surface(s) of the board(s)
is(are) 84" (213 cm) from the floor.

■

During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is

¹⁄₄

" (6.35 mm) maximum between the top of the refrigerator

and the bottom of the anti-tip board(s). 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 one or 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
board(s) 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.

2. Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to the

water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto the
shutoff valve as shown.

3. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff

valve ON.

4. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including

connections at the valve) that leak.
