WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT:
• If you turn the refrigerator on before the
water line is connected, turn the ice maker
off.
• All installations must meet local plumbing
code requirements.
• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. In-
stall copper tubing only in areas where tem-
peratures will remain above freezing.
A kit is available with a 1/4
″
(6.35 mm) saddle-
type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.
Before purchasing the kit, make sure that a
saddle-type valve complies with local plumb-
ing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or a 3/16
″
(4.76 mm) saddle valve because they reduce
water flow and clog easily.
Connect the ice maker to a cold water line with
water pressure between 15 and 100 psi (103 -
690 kPa). If you have questions about water
pressure, contact the water utility company.
ANTI-TIP BOARDS
IMPORTANT:
• 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, prevent the refrigerator from tip-
ping during use, as shown.
• It is recommended that the boards be in-
stalled before the refrigerator is installed.
• Boards must be long enough to fully cover
the width of the compressor cover.

1. Center board 1/4" (6 mm) max. above refrigerator
2. Two 2" x 4" x 32" (5 cm x 10 cm x 81 cm) boards
3. Attach to studs with 6-#8 x 3" (7.6 cm) screws
4. Compressor cover
To Install The Anti-Tip Boards:
1. Mark the stud locations on the rear wall
80
″
to 90
″
(203 - 229 cm) above the floor.
2. Securely attach one or two 2
″
x 4
″
x 32
″
(5 cm x 10 cm x 81 cm) wood boards to the
wall studs behind the refrigerator. Use six
#8 x 3
″
(7.6 cm) or longer wood screws.
The wood screws must be screwed into
the studs at least 1-1/2
″
(3.8 cm). The
boards must overlap the compressor cover.
• Locate the boards so the bottom surface of
the boards are 84
″
(213 cm) from the floor.
• During installation, raise the refrigerator up
so there is 1/4
″
(6.4 mm) maximum between
the top of the refrigerator and the bottom of
the anti-tip boards. Do not crush the con-
denser cover when raising the rear leveling
legs.
