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 anti-tip board(s). Do not crush the compressor cover when raising the rear leveling legs.

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.

Connectthe 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.

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.Remove the shipping tape from the gray, coiled water tubing on the rear of the refrigerator.

3.Thread the provided nut onto the shutoff valve as shown.

4.Turn shutoff valve ON.

5.Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including connections at the valve) that leak.

6.Plug in the refrigerator or reconnect power.

7.Flush the water system. See “Water System Preparation.”

NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. Allow 3 days to completely fill ice container.

Style 2 - Copper Line Connection

Connecting to Water Line

NOTE: If existing water line meets the “Water System Requirements,” see “Connecting to Refrigerator.”

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 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.
