Install Anti-Tip Boards
IMPORTANT:
■
If a solid soffit is not available, an anti-tip board must be
installed.
■
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 until the top of the
refrigerator is making contact with the bottom of the anti-tip
board(s). Do not crush the compressor cover when raising the
rear leveling legs.
To Install Anti-tip Boards
1. Mark the stud locations on rear wall 80" to 90" (203 cm to
229 cm) above floor.
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: 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.
