INSTALLATION

 

         The  right  refrigerator  door  does  not  have  an 

adjustable  nut.    
        If the space between the doors is uneven, follow the 

instructions below to align the right door:    

          1    

          With  one  hand,  lift  up  both  the  inner  and  outer 

door sections of the right door to raise them at the 

middle hinge. (It may be easier to lift it with the 

doors  open.)    

          2    

          With  the  other  hand,  use  pliers  to  insert  the  snap 

ring on the middle hinge of the inner door section 

as shown. Do not insert the ring on the hinge of 

the  outer  door  section.    

          3    

          Insert  additional  snap  rings  until  the  right  door  is 

aligned. (Two snap rings are provided with the 

unit.)    

    

    

   

         Turning  on  the  Power    

          After  installing,  plug  the  refrigerator’s  power  cord  into 

a 3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator 

into  the  final  position.    

    

    

 

 

     

       CAUTION    

    

     

    

 

 

       Connect  to  a  rated  power  outlet.    

 

        Have  a  qualified  electrician  check  the  wall  outlet 

and wiring for proper grounding.    

 

        Do not damage or cut off the ground terminal of 

the  power  plug.         

 

       Position  the  Refrigerator    

          Arrange  the  coil  of  tubing  so  that  it  does  not  vibrate 

against the back of the refrigerator or against the 

wall. Push the refrigerator back to the wall.    

     

       Start  the  Icemaker    

          If  the  water  line  is  connected,  set  the  icemaker  power 

switch to the ON position.    
        The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches 

its operating temperature of 15 °F (–9 °C) or below. It 

will then begin operation automatically if the icemaker 

power  switch  is  in  the  ON  (I)  position.
