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.
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections:
Sides & Top: 3/8 inch
Rear: 1 inch
By now, you have already removed your refrigerator’s shipping carton.
You may still need to use a hand truck to move it through close spaces or
entrances. If the refrigerator is larger than an entrance, consider two options:
• Remove the entrance door if one exists.
• Remove the refrigerator doors (see how in your Use & Care Guide).
When using a hand truck:
• Load refrigerator from side of cabinet only.
• Do not run retaining straps over handles.
• Do not over-tighten retaining straps.
• Never use refrigerator handles to move the
refrigerator.
• Remove tape from doors only after unit is in place.
Connect Water Supply
What you will need:
• Access to a cold water
line with pressure of
30-100 psi.
• Copper tubing with
¼-inch (6.4mm) OD.
Length for this tubing is
the distance from the rear of the refrigerator
to your household water supply line plus 7
feet (2.1 meters).
• A shut-off valve for the connection between
your household water line and the refrigerator
supply line. Do not use a self-piercing shut-off
valve.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for the
water supply connection at the rear of your
refrigerator.
Place In Permanent Position
If possible, use a hand truck to position the refrigerator directly in front of its cabinet enclosure.
Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond its water supply (copper tubing) connections.
Plug in the power cord, and push the refrigerator
straight back into place.
Level Refrigerator & Adjust Doors (if necessary)
Guidelines for nal positioning of your refrigerator:
• All four corners of the cabinet must rest rmly on the oor.
• The cabinet should be level at the front and rear.
• The sides should tilt ¼-inch (6 mm) from front-to-back (to ensure
that doors close and seal properly).
• Doors should align with each other and be level.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1 Remove the toe grille.
2 Use a at-blade screwdriver or
3
/
8
inch socket wrench to raise or
lower the front rollers. Use adjustable wrench to adjust leveling
screws.
We use 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.
Controls
When changing controls, wait 24 hours before making additional adjustments.
Door Removal (if necessary)
If you need to remove the doors to get your refrigerator into the house, please see “Door
