NOTE: Open and close both the refrigerator and freezer doors after each adjustment to check the door alignment.
2= Open the doors and replace the base grille, Line up the grille support tabs with the metal clips. Push the grille firmly to snap it into place.
NOTE: Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille.
Connect to Refrigerator
Style 1
1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.Remove the shipping tape from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the refrigerator.
3.A 1/4"x 1/4"coupling is needed to order to connect the water tubing to an existing household water supply line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the end of the copper tubing,
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFR
Connect to Water Line
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 1/2" (12,70 mm) to 11/4''(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 normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4= Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower rear corner of 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 grounded drill, drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

6.Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp, Be sure outlet end is solidly in the 1/4"(6,35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.
7.Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw the compression nut onto the outlet end with an adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
8.Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn ON main water supply and flush out the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing,

5.Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including connections at the valve) that leak.
6.Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
7.Flush the water system see "Prepare the Water System."
NOTE: It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin producing ice.
