WATER SUPPLY TO THE ICEMAKER
(ON SOME MODELS)
If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to be connected to a cold water line. A water supply kit (containing tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and instructions) is available at extra cost from your dealer, or from Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002.
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.
•Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform properly.
•Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
CLEARANCES
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical connections.
•Sides 1/8″ (4 mm)
•Top 1″ (25 mm)
•Back 1″ (25 mm)
If the refrigerator is against a wall on either side, allow a 1/8″ (3 mm) door clearance.
ROLLERS
The rollers have 3 purposes:
■Rollers adjust so the doors close on their own when opened about 45°.
■Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and does not wobble.
■Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.
To adjust the rollers:
Remove the base grille by
positioning hands as shown.
Rotate the bottom of the 
grille outward until the clips 
snap out.
Pull the grille away from the refrigerator.
Using a screwdriver, turn the two front roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
Replace the grille so the notch in the grille will fit around the bottom door hinge.
Tilt the top of the grille toward the refrigerator and insert the long metal clips into the top of the oval openings at the bottom of the refrigerator.
Rotate the bottom of the grille toward the refrigerator until it snaps into place.
