Install Anti-Tip Boards

IMPORTANT:

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, prevent the refrigerator from tipping during use as shown.

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 condenser 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) wood boards to wall studs behind refrigerator. Use six #8 x 3" (7.6 mm) (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.

Connect Water Supply

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

2.Before attaching copper tubing to the refrigerator, flush at least 2 qt. (1.9 L) of water through the copper tubing and into a bucket to get rid of any particles in the water line.

3.Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Do not overtighten the clamp or sleeve. This will crush the copper tubing.

4.Make connection to the refrigerator.

Style 1 - Connecting to a Water Valve:

NOTE: The water shutoff valve should be located in the base cabinet on either side of the refrigerator. The right-hand side is recommended. The access hole through the right cabinet must be within ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm) of rear wall.

Push the bulb end of the tubing into the water valve as far as it will go. Slide the nut forward and finger tighten. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.
