Preparing to install the refrigerator.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Water Supply to the Icemaker
If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to be
connected to a cold water line.
A water supply kit (containing copper tubing,
shutoff valve, fittings and instructions) is available
at extra cost from your dealer or from Parts and
Accessories, 800.626.2002.
Refrigerator Location
Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go below 60°F (16°C)
because it will not run often enough to maintain
proper temperatures.
Install it on a floor strong enough to support it
fully loaded.

Rollers
The rollers have 3 purposes:

from the wall for cleaning.

screws
