To Install Anti-tip Boards

1. Mark the stud locations on rear wall.

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:

■ There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush installation if

a water shutoff valve is located in the wall behind the

refrigerator. The water shutoff should be located in the base

cabinet on either side of the refrigerator.

■ 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.

Style 2—Copper Line Connection

NOTE: If there is a water supply line that meets the specifications

in “Water Supply Requirements,” proceed to “Connecting to

Refrigerator.” If not, use the following instructions to connect to

the household cold water supply.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

3. Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.3 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water

pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

■ Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the

pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from

the drill and keep normal sediment from collecting in the

valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure

from the connection on the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add

7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) O.D.

(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper

tubing are cut square.

5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold

water pipe you have selected.
