Preparing to install the refrigerator.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Water Supply to the Icemaker

You will need to connect the icemaker to a cold water line.

A water supply kit (containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and instructions) is available at extra cost from your dealer.

Refrigerator Location

Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 60°F. (16°C.) because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.

Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
