Installing your refrigerator

These instructions were provided to aid

you in the installation of your refrigerator.

Measuring the opening

When installing your refrigerator, please

reference chart below for clearance

requirements.

Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e.

carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may make

your opening smaller than anticipated.

Some clearance may be gained by using

the leveling procedure under

How to Level Your Refrigerator

(page 11).

Selecting the best

location

Observe these points when choosing the

final location for your refrigerator:

➢DO NOT install refrigerator near

oven, radiator or other heat source. If

not possible, shield refrigerator with

cabinet material.

➢DO NOT install where temperature

falls below 55° F (13° C). Malfunction

may occur at this temperature.

➢To assure proper door closure, follow

the leveling instructions in the

section, How to Level Your

Refrigerator (page 11).

Transporting your

refrigerator

Follow these tips when moving the

refrigerator to final location:

➢NEVER transport refrigerator on its

side. If an upright position is not

possible, lay refrigerator on its back.

Allow refrigerator to sit upright for

approximately 30 minutes prior to

plugging refrigerator in to assure oil

returns to the compressor. Plugging

refrigerator in immediately may cause

damage to internal parts.

➢Use an appliance dolly when moving

refrigerator. ALWAYS truck

refrigerator from its side or back–

NEVER from its front.

➢Protect outside finish of refrigerator

during transport by wrapping cabinet

in blankets or inserting padding

between the refrigerator and dolly.

➢Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with

straps or bungee cords. Thread straps

through handles when possible. DO NOT

overtighten. Overtightening restraints may

dent or damage outside finish.

IMPORTANT: If refrigerator is to be

installed into a recess where top of

refrigerator is completely covered, use

dimensions from floor to top of hinge

cap to verify proper clearance.

➢Consult a plumber to connect

copper tubing to household

plumbing to assure compliance

with local codes and ordinances.

➢Confirm water pressure to water

valve is between 20 and 100

pounds per square inch. If water

filter is installed, water pressure to

water valve must be a minimum of

35 pounds per square inch.

➢DO NOT use a self-piercing, or 3⁄16"

saddle valve! Both reduce water

flow, become clogged with time,

and may cause leaks if repair is

attempted.

➢Tighten nuts by hand to prevent

cross threading. Finish tightening

nuts with pliers and wrenches. DO

NOT overtighten.

➢Wait 24 hours before placing

refrigerator into final position to

check and correct any water leaks.

CAUTION

MATERIALS NEEDED

➢1⁄4" outer diameter flexible copper

tubing

➢Brass compression nut and sleeve for

1⁄4" outer diameter copper tubing.

➢Shut-off valve (requires a 1⁄4" hole to

be drilled into water supply before

valve attachment)

➢Adjustable wrench

➢1⁄4" hex nut driver

NOTE: Add 8' to tubing length needed to

reach water supply for creation of

service loop.

1. Create service loop with tubing using

care to avoid kinks in tubing.

2. Remove plastic cap from water valve

inlet port.

3. Place brass nut (A) and sleeve (B) on

copper tube end as illustrated.

4. Place end of copper tubing into water

valve inlet port. Shape tubing slightly –

DO NOT KINK – so that tubing feeds

straight into inlet port.

5. Slide brass nut over sleeve and screw

nut into inlet port. Tighten nut with

wrench.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT overtighten.

Cross threading may occur.

6. Pull on tubing to confirm connection

is secure. Connect tubing to frame

with water tubing clamp (C) and turn

on water supply. Check for leaks and

correct, if present.

7. Monitor water connection for 24

hours. Correct leaks, if necessary.
