Installation Instructions
Reinstalling the Doors
After the moving the refrigerator to the location where it will be used, reinstall the door(s) and freezer drawer front.
1. Replace the rollers.
2.Slide the screws on the back of the drawer front
into the slots in the drawer brackets on both sides. You may need to move the bottom of the bracket around slightly to get the slot to line up with the screw.
3.Tighten the four front panel
screws completely. Do not
4.Assemble the parts for the top hinges as shown. Do not tighten the screws completely.
5.Install the center hinges using the existing Phillips screws. If equipped reinstall the center hinge shims.

Connecting 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
1.Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.Turn OFF the main water supply. Turn ON the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water.
3.Locate a ½” to 1¼” (13 mm to 32 mm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
•Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
•A 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 rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¼”
(6.4 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.
5.Using a cordless drill, drill a ¼” hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

6.Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¼” drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.
7.Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so that the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.
8.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.
9.Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until the water is clear.
10.Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.
