Install Anti-Tip Boards
IMPORTANT:
■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
To Install Anti-tip Boards
1.Mark the stud locations on rear wall 80" to 90" (203 cm to 229 cm) above floor.
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: 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.
NOTE: The shutoff valve shown is in the side cabinet as recommended.

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" (1.25 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 lower left rear of 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.
