If you plan to install custom wood panels, you will need to create

the panels yourself or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or

carpenter. See dimensional drawings for panel specifications.

IMPORTANT: Panels weighing more than recommended may

cause damage to your refrigerator.

NOTE: Dimensions shown have a (+_ 1/1_"(1.5 mm) tolerance.

Panels that are more than 1/4"(6.35 mm) thick must be routed. If

panels are less than 1/4"(6.35 mm) thick, install a filler panel

between the doors and decorative panels.

Custom overlay panels allow you to blend the exterior of your

refrigerator into the overall kitchen decor, and to use custom

handles for additional design flexibility.

The custom panels must have backer panels attached in order to

mount them to the refrigerator. It is most common to work with

three panels, as shown in the following graphic: a decorative

overlay panel, a 1/8" (3.18 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips and

a 1/4"(6.35 mm) backer panel.

[ Overlay Pahel Spacer Paliel 1

_'\ _i Backer Panel

%" (B,35mm)

(3.18mrn)

Spacer Panel

In some cases, your cabinet manufacturer may choose to work

with one panel routed for the different dimensions. Follow these

panel dimension and placement instructions to be sure that the

custom overlay panels will fit properly.

IMPORTANT:

• The weight of the refrigerator door overlay panel cannot

exceed 50 Ibs. (23 kg).

The weight of the freezer door overlay panel cannot exceed

30 Ibs. (13.5 kg).

The weight of the top grille overlay panel cannot exceed

10 Ibs. (4.5 kg).

To minimize panel weight, you may use 2" (5.08 cm) spacer strips

around the perimeter in place of full-sheet solid spacer panels.

The spacer strips must be set in at least 1" (2.54 cm) from the

top, bottom and sides edges of the backer panel. If you use

spacer strips, it is also recommended that you use two 2"

(5.08 cm) strips horizontally centered for added support.

NOTE: For the grille and the door panels to be flush, the overlay

door panel should be 1/4"(6.35 mm) thicker than the overlay grille

panel.

Custom side panels may be needed when not enough space is

available to have cabinets on both sides of the refrigerator or

when the refrigerator is placed at the end of a cabinet run. You

may choose an Inset, Flush, or Recessed Inset panel installation.

Refrigerator and Side Trim Dimensions

The width and height of a side panel is determined by the type of

installation you are planning.

NOTES:

• The dimensions shown are actual product dimensions

and may not reflect the needed panel installation

dimensions.

• The side panel should be a minimum of 1/2"(1.3 cm) thick

to prevent warping.

• If the opening depth is 25" (63.5 cm) or more, you may

want to install a support board on rear wall.

E(ectrical Shock Hazard

Pmuginto a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong,

Do not use an adapter,

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these }nstructions can reeumt }n death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is

important to make sure you have the proper electrical

connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 amp fused, grounded

electrical supply is required, It is recommended that a separate

circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet

that cannot be turned off by a switch, Do not use an

extension cord.

IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground

Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the

power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality

and flavor may be affected, If nuisance tripping has occurred,

and if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, remove the top grille and turn the master

power switch to OFF or disconnect power at the circuit breaker

box.

When you are finished, turn ON the master power switch or

reconnect power at the circuit breaker box. Then reset the control

to the desired setting.

All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on

either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible

area. The right-hand side is recommended. The access hole

through the right-hand side cabinet must be within 1/2"

(12.7 mm) of the rear wall.

If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the plumbing

for the water line can come through the floor or the back wall.

A 1/2"(12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled 6"

(15.2 cm) to 12" (30.4 cm) from the right-hand side cabinet or

panel. On the floor, the hole should be no more than 11"

(28 cm) away from the back wall. On the wall, the hole should

be no more than 3" (7.6 cm) up from the floor. See "Connect

Water Supply."

If this recommended water line location is used, no additional

plumbing must be purchased.

• If additional tubing is needed, use copper tubing and check

for leaks. Install the copper tubing only in areas where the

household temperatures will remain above freezing.

• Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16"(4.76 mm) saddle valve

which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4"

(6,35 ram) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper

tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve

complies with your local plumbing codes.

Cold Water Supply

Connect the ice maker to a cold water line with water pressure

between 20 and 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa). If you have questions

about your water pressure, call your utility company.
