Water supply must be easily connected for the
automatic icemaker.
NOTE
xThe water pressure must be 20 - 120 psi or 138 -
827 kPa or 1.4 - 8.4 kgf/cm2. If the refrigerator is
installed in an area with low water pressure (below
20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/cm2), you can install a
booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
Electricity

Supplies Needed
xCopper or PEX Tubing, ¼ in. outer diameter, to
connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure
both ends of the tubing are cut square. To determine
how much tubing you need, measure the distance
from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator
to the water supply pipe. Then, add 8 feet (2.4 m).

xShutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.
The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a
minimum inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the point of
connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type
shutoff valves are included in many water supply
kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type
valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
NOTE
xA self-piercing saddle type water valve should not
be used.
Water Line Installation Instructions
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard:
xWhen using any electrical device (such as a
power drill) during installation, be sure the device
is battery-powered, double-insulated or grounded
in a manner that will prevent the hazard of
electric shock.
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently
used drinking water line.
1Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure
on the line.
2Choose the valve location.
Choose a location for the valve that is easily
accessible. It is best to connect into the side of
a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to
connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the
connection to the top or side, rather than at the
bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from
the water pipe.
3Drill the hole for the valve.
xDrill a ¼ in. hole in the water pipe using a sharp
bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the
hole in the pipe. Be careful not to allow water
to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a ¼ in. hole
may result in reduced ice production or smaller
cubes.
NOTE
xThe hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing.
Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing
(NDA tubing #49595 or #49599) or Cross Link
Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.
4Fasten the shutoff valve.
Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe

Leveling and Door Alignment
Leveling
The refrigerator has two front leveling legs. Adjust the
legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or side-to side.
If the refrigerator seems unsteady, or the doors do
not close easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the
instructions below:
1Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side
of the refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may
take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the
tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE
x$ÀDUHQXWZUHQFKZRUNVEHVWEXWDQRSHQHQG
ZUHQFKZLOOVXI¿FH'RQRWRYHUWLJKWHQ
2Open both doors and check to make sure that
they close easily. If the doors do not close easily,
tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by
turning both leveling legs to the left. It may take
several more turns, and be sure to turn both
leveling legs the same amount.
Door Alignment
Standard Door
Both the left and right refrigerator doors have an
adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge, to raise
and lower them to align properly.
If the space between the doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align the doors evenly:
Use the wrench (included with the owner's manual)
to turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height.
Turn the nut to the right to raise the door or to the left
to lower it.
Door-in-Door
The left refrigerator door has an adjustable nut,
located on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower the
door for proper alignment.
If the space between the doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align the left door:
Use the wrench (included with the owner's manual)
to turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height.
Turn the nut to the right to raise the door or to the left
to lower it.
27INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
The right refrigerator door does not have an
adjustable nut.
If the space between the doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align the right door:
1With one hand, lift up both the inner and outer
door sections of the right door to raise them at the
middle hinge. (It may be easier to lift it with the
doors open.)
2With the other hand, use pliers to insert the snap
ring on the middle hinge of the inner door section
as shown. Do not insert the ring on the hinge of
the outer door section.
3Insert additional snap rings until the right door is
aligned. (Two snap rings are provided with the
unit.)
Turning on the Power

xArrange the coil of tubing so that it does not vibrate
against the back of the refrigerator or against the
wall. Push the refrigerator back to the wall.
Start the Icemaker
xIf the water line is connected, set the icemaker
power switch to the ON position.
xThe icemaker will not begin to operate until it
reaches its operating temperature of 15 °F (–9 °C)
or below. It will then begin operation automatically if
the icemaker power switch is in the ON (I) position.
