• If you are connecting the water line directly to copper tubing

and not to a shutoff valve, you need aferrule, a union, and a

V4"(6.35 mm) compression fitting.

The refrigerator can be recessed in an opening between cabinets

or installed at the end of a cabinet run using a side panel to

enclose the refrigerator.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

IM PORTANT:

• Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

• It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near

an oven, radiator, or other heat source.

• Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall

below 55°F (13°C).

• Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than 600 Ibs

(272 kg), door panels and contents of the refrigerator.

• Ceiling height must allow for side tipping radius. See "Tipping

Radius."

• Location should permit door to open fully. See "Door Swing

Dimensions."

• Location must permit top grille removal. See "Opening

Dimensions."

Opening Dimensions

To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 1"

(2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. Ifthe solid soffit is

higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the

refrigerator must be braced.

If the anti-tip boards are needed, they must be attached to

the rear wall studs 80" to 90" (203 cm to 229 cm) above the

floor. See "Install Anti-Tip Boards" for more information.

NOTE: A clearance of V2"(1.3 cm) must be maintained above

the top grille in order for the top grille to be removed.

• A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be located within

a specified number of inches from the right-hand side

cabinets or end panel. See the chart following the graphic for

the number of inches required for your model. For more

information, see "Electrical Requirements."

• The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on

either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible

area. 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. See "Water Supply Requirements" for more

information.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into 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 instructions can result in 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.

24"

(60.96 cm) min.

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

for the water line can come through the floor. A 1/2"(12.7 mm)

hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6" (15.2 cm) from

the right or left hand side cabinet or panel. On the floor, the

hole should be no more than 1" (2.54 cm) away from the back

wall. See "Connect the Water Supply."

• 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/le"(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 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper

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

complies with your local plumbing codes.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi

(207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and

ice maker. Ifyou have questions about your water pressure, call a

licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a

reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the

refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and

827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your

cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis

system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill

after heavy usage.

• If your refrigerator has a water filter cartridge, it may further

reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a

reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,

qualified plumber.

Be sure there is adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator

upright when it is moved into place.

• The dolly wheel height must be added to the tipping radius

when a dolly is used.

• If needed, the tipping radius can be reduced. See "Reduce

Tipping Radius."

Side Tipping Radius

The side tipping radius varies depending upon the width of the

model. Use the chart provided to determine the side tipping

radius.

NOTE: Tip on side only.

Allow a minimum of 41/2"(11.4 cm) of space between the side of the refrigerator and a corner wall. More clearance may be needed if

thicker custom panels or custom handles are used. Do not overlook baseboards.

12

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 V8" (3.18 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips and

a V4" (6.35 mm) backer 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.

IM PORTANT:

• The weight of the refrigerator door overlay panel cannot

exceed 50 Ibs (23 kg).

• The weight of the freezer door overlay panel cannot exceed

40 Ibs (18.1 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.

INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

Tip Over Hazard

Refrigerator is top heavy and tips easily when not

completely installed.

Keep doors taped closed until refrigerator is

completely installed.

Use two or more people to move and install

refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or serious injury.

IM PORTANT:

• Do not remove the film covering until the refrigerator is in its

operating location.

• All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and

stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.

• Keep the cardboard shipping piece or plywood under the

refrigerator until it is installed in the operating location.

1. Remove and save the literature package bag taped to the

side of the refrigerator and the parts bag behind the grille.

Remove the four brackets (two on each side) that attach the

shipping base to the refrigerator bottom.

NOTE: Do not remove tape and door bracing until the

refrigerator is in its final location.

2. If necessary, reduce the tipping radius. See "Tipping Radius"

for ceiling height requirements or "Reduce Tipping Radius"

for step-by-step instructions. If you do not need to reduce the

tipping radius, proceed to "Move the Refrigerator into

House."

19

Before bringing the refrigerator into the home, be sure there is

adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright. See

"Tipping Radius" in the "Installation Requirements" section for

more information.

If you do not have adequate ceiling height to stand the

refrigerator upright, the tipping radius can be reduced by

removing the top grille and side trims (see the following chart).

To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within

1" (2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit

is higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the

refrigerator must be braced.

• It is recommended that board(s) be installed before the

refrigerator is installed.

• Board(s) must be long enough to fully cover the width of the

compressor cover.

• Locate the board(s) so the bottom surface(s) of the board(s)

is(are) 84" (213 cm) from the floor.

• During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is

1/4"(6.35 mm) maximum between the top of the refrigerator

and the bottom of the anti-tip board(s). Do not crush the

compressor cover when raising the rear leveling legs.

To Install Anti-tip Boards

1. Mark the stud locations on rear wall 80" to 90" (203 cm to

229 cm) above floor.
