WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, do
not connect your refrigerator to an electrical power source until you have
completed Step 2 of these instructions.
CAUTION
• Shifting the refrigerator from side-to-side
may damage flooring.
• Do not block the toe grille on the lower
front of your refrigerator. Sufficient air cir-
culation is essential for proper operation.
IMPORTANT
If you are installing your refrigerator
without connecting it to a water supply,
make sure the ice maker’s power switch
is turned Off (see Use & Care Guide for
more details).
NOTE
If you need to remove the doors to get your refrigerator into the house, please refer to Section
3: “Door Removal/Installation”, or, for more detailed instructions, “Removing Doors” in the Use &
Care Guide. These installation instructions are provided only as a possible customer option. IKEA
recommends that you use a service or kitchen contracting professional to install your refrigerator.

Preparing For Installation
Be sure to coordinate site preparation and installation with your kitchen contractor.
Include these minimum guidelines in your site preparation:
• Choose a place near a grounded electrical outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
• Avoid direct sunlight and close proximity to a range,
dishwasher or other heat source.
• Floor should be level and able to
support a fully loaded refrigerator.
• The refrigerator’s Ice Dispenser
requires water supply access.
• Plan for easy access to counter tops
when removing food.
• For complete access to drawers and
freezer baskets, doors must be able to fully open.
• Load refrigerator from side of cabinet only.
• Do not run retaining straps over handles nor overtighten
straps.
• Never use refrigerator handles to move the refrigerator.
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides & Top:
3
/
8
inch / Rear: 1 inch
CAUTION
Room temperatures below
55°F (13°C) or above 110°F
(43°C) will impair cooling
ability of your refrigerator’s
compressor.
NOTE
Please call (833) 337-4006 if
you need assistance with this
installation.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:
•
Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and
Phillips™ screwdriver.
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure
between 30 and 100 psi. A water supply line made of ¼
inch (6 mm) OD, copper or braided, flexible stainless steel
tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure
the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the
refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately
7 feet, so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning.
• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your
household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ice maker
inlet valve.

Connect Water Supply
WARNING
To avoid electric shock,
which can cause death or
severe personal injury, dis-
connect the refrigerator from
electrical power before con-
necting a water supply line
to the refrigerator.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Copper or Stainless Steel braided, flexible tubing is recommended for the
water supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼ inch (6 mm) plastic is not
recommended to be used. Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for
water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage if
plastic tubing is used for the supply line.
• Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the
ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained
and working properly.
IKEA uses packing foam and tape to secure the internal parts of your refrigerator for shipping. Once
the refrigerator is in position, you can remove this material.
What’s Next?

• For important safety instructions and to learn how to operate your refrigerator, please read the
entire Use & Care Guide.
• You may want to start with the “Normal Operating Sights & Sounds” section of the Guide to learn
what to expect during typical operation.

Remove Internal Shipping Materials
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.
2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water
supply and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water
supply at shutoff valve.
3. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
4. If you use copper tubing - Slide brass nut, then ferrule (sleeve)
onto water supply line. Push water supply line into water valve
inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve
inlet and finger tighten nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn
with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure 1.
If you use braided, flexible stainless steel tubing - The nut is
already assembled on the tubing. Slide nut onto valve inlet and
finger tighten nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a
wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure 2.
5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line
(copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
6. Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 2½
turns, behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do
not vibrate or wear against any other surface.
7. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connec-
tions that leak.
8. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.
9. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (freezer ice maker)
or set the ice maker’s On/Off power switch to the “ON” position
(fresh food ice maker).
NOTE
Check with your local building authority for recommendations on
water lines and associated materials prior to installing your new
refrigerator. Depending on your local/state building codes, IKEA
recommends for homes with existing valves its Smart Choice 6
ft. Stainless Steel Refrigerator Water Line Kit 5304490728 and
for homes without an existing valve, Frigidaire recommends its
Smart Choice 20 ft. Copper Refrigerator Water Line Installation
Kit 5304490717 (with a self-tapping saddle valve). Please refer

Guidelines for final positioning of refrigerator:
•
All four corners of cabinet must rest firmly on floor.
• The front should be slightly elevated (to ensure that
doors close and seal properly).
• Doors should align with each other and be level.
Most of these conditions can be met by raising or
lowering the adjustable front rollers.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers (if
necessary):
1. Slightly open freezer drawer if the toe grill is installed.
Lift the toe grille and gently pull forward.
2.
Make initial cabinet adjustments by using the front
roller height adjusting screws. Use a 3/8 inch socket
wrench to turn the adjustment
screws (1 per side).
To raise:
turn adjustment screw
clockwise.
To lower:
turn adjustment screw
counterclockwise.
3. Ensure both doors are bind-free
with their seals touching the cabi-
net on all four sides and that cabinet is stable.
To make final door height
adjustments (if necessary):
1. Open freezer drawer to make lower
hinge visible.
2. Insert 6mm Allen wrench into the
shaft of the lower hinge.
3. Adjust the height by turning clockwise
or counterclockwise. Turning
clockwise will lower the door. Turning
counterclockwise will raise the door.
Default setting is to the lowest height
when you receive your appliance.

Raise
4. After unit is leveled, lower anti-tip leg
using a 3/8 inch socket wrench until it
firmly contacts the floor.
5.
Install toe grille by fitting into place.
