P r e p a r e T h e I n s t a l l a t i o n S i t e

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 en-

trances. If the refrigerator is larger than an entrance, consider 2 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 overtighten retaining straps.

• Remove tape from doors only after the unit is

in place.

CAUTION

Shifting the refrigerator from side

to side may damage flooring.

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.

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 the Use & Care Guide for more details).

CAUTION

• Shifting the refrigerator from side

to side may damage flooring.

• Do not block the lower front of your

refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation

is essential for proper operation.

4

NOTE

Raise the front of the refrigerator

enough so the doors close freely

when opened halfway. The refrigera-

tor should slope ¼ inch to ½ in. from

front to back. Then level the refrigera-

tor from side-to-side.

WARNING

The anti-tip device must be

installed according to the

instructions in your Use &

Care Manual. Failure to do

so will result in injury.

Guidelines for final positioning of your refrigerator:

• All 4 corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on the floor.

• The cabinet should be level at the front and rear.

• The sides should tilt ¼ in. (6 mm) from front to back (to

ensure that doors close and seal properly).

• Doors should align with each other and be level.

Setting the Anti-tip device:

The Anti-tip brackets are located on the lower front corners of

the cabinet. Lower the Anti-tip on each side clockwise until they

contact the floor. Do not raise the cabinet.

NOTE

For homes with existing valves,

use Smart Choice

®

water line kit

5304437642 (with a 6 ft. stain-

less steel water line), and for

homes without an existing valve,

use Smart Choice

®

water line kit

5304493869 (with a 6 ft. polyline

water line). For more information

call (833) 337-4006.

CAUTION

To avoid property damage:

• Use a water supply line made of

stainless steel tubing or polyline.

• Ensure water supply complies

with local plumbing codes.

What you will need:

• Basic Tools: adjustable

wrench, flat-blade screwdriver,

and Phillips

TM

screwdriver

• Access to a household cold

water line with water pressure between 30 and

100 psi.

• A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4 mm) OD,

copper or 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 (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator

can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).

• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to

your household water system. DO NOT use a self-

piercing type shutoff valve.

NOTE

Automatic ice makers are optional accessories that may

be installed in most models at any time. Call your local

dealer for information about Ice Maker Kit 117000.

• Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to

the ice maker inlet valve.

To Connect Water Supply Line To the Ice Maker Inlet Valve:

1. Disconnect refrigerator from electrical 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 compression nut, and

then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line. Push water sup-

ply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch / 6.4

mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten

compression 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. To turn ice maker on, press the ice maker’s On/Off power

switch so the LED is steadily illuminated.

8. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connec-

tions that leak.

9. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.

NOTE

• The ice maker’s fill valve may operate noisily if the household water

supply is shut off.

• After ensuring no water leaks exist at any connection, be sure to

check for leaks again in 24 hours.
