Proper Disposal

(of old refrigerator)

General Information

IMPORTANT:

Your refrigerator was packed carefully for

shipment. Remove and discard all packaging and

tape. DO NOT remove the model/serial number

label.

Clean Before Using

Child entrapment and suffocation are not

problems of the past. Junked or abandoned

refrigerators are still dangerous - even if they will

sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of

your old refrigerator, please follow these

instructions to help avoid accidents.

After you remove all of the packaging materials,

clean the inside of your refrigerator before using

it. See the cleaning instructions in “Use and

Care Guide.”

Important information to know about glass

shelves and covers:

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator

or Freezer:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may

not easily climb inside.

DO NOT clean glass shelves or covers with warm

water when they are cold. Shelves and covers

may break if exposed to sudden temperature

changes or impact, such as bumping. For your

protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter

into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is

normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use

special care when removing them to avoid impact

from dropping.

Remove the Packaging

• Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces

before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small

amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive

with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and

dry.

• DO NOT use sharp instruments, rubbing

alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners

to remove tape or glue. These products can

damage the surface of your refrigerator. For

more information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”

• Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

When moving your refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the

refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to

protect the floor. Always pull the refrigerator

straight out when moving it. DO NOT wiggle or

“walk” the refrigerator when trying to move, as

floor damage could occur.

Location Requirements

• DO NOT install refrigerator near oven, radiator

or other heat sources. If not possible, shield

refrigerator material.

• DO NOT install where the temperature falls

below 55°F (13°C) or rises above 110°F (43°C).

Malfunctions can occur at these temperatures.

• Refrigerator is designed for indoor household

application only.

General Information

Electrical Requirements

Water Supply Requirements

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator,

allow for a 1/2" (1.25 cm) space on each side and

at the top. Allow 1" (2.5 cm) of space behind the

refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an ice maker,

allow extra space at the back for the water line

connections. When installing your refrigerator next

to a fixed wall, leave a 2-3/4" (7.0 cm) minimum

space between the refrigerator and wall to allow

the door to swing open.

A cold water supply with water pressure of

between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa) is

required to operate the water dispenser and ice

maker. If you have questions about your water

pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply

coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to

the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to

be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).

Overhead View

Wall

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is

connected to your cold water supply, the water

pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to

be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

1/2”

(1.27 cm)

2-3/4”

(6.99 cm)

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis

system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

Before you move your refrigerator to its final

location, it is important to make sure you have

the proper electrical connection.

• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the

reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the

filter if necessary.

Door

Recommended Grounding Method

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis

system to refill after heavy usage.

• If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may

further reduce the water pressure when used in

conjunction with a reverse osmosis system.

Remove the water filter.

Moving Unit

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-amp fused,

grounded electrical supply is required. It is

recommended that a separate circuit serving only

your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that

cannot be turned off by a switch. DO NOT use an

extension cord.

• DO NOT transport the refrigerator on its side. If

an upright position is not possible, lay the

refrigerator on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit

upright for approximately 30 minutes before

plugging it in to assure oil returns to the

compressor. Plugging the refrigerator in

immediately may cause damage to internal

parts.

• Use an appliance dolly when moving

refrigerator. ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its

side or back - NOT from its front.

• Cover outside finish of refrigerator during

transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets

or inserting padding between the refrigerator

and dolly.

If you have questions about your water pressure,

call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Note: Before performing any type of installation,

cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the

cooling OFF. Disconnect the refrigerator from the

electrical source. When you are finished,

reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source

and turn cooling on.

• Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or

bungee cords. Thread straps through handles

when possible. DO NOT overtighten.

Overtightening restraints may dent or damage

outside finish.

Installation

Water Supply Requirements

Connect the Water Supply

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on

before the water line is connected, turn the ice

maker OFF.

Connect to Water Line (cont.)

Gather the required tools and parts before

starting installation. Read and follow the

instructions provided with any tools listed here.

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe

with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is

solidly in the 1/4" drilled hole in the water pipe

and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.

Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe

clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer

makes a watertight seal. DO NOT overtighten

or you may crush the copper tubing.

5. Using an adjustable wrench, hold the nut on

the plastic water line to keep it from moving.

Then, with a second wrench, turn the

compression nut on the copper tubing

counterclockwise to completely tighten.

DO NOT overtighten.

TOOLS NEEDED:

Connect to Water Line

• Flat-blade screwdriver

• 7/16" and 1/2" Open-end or two adjustable

wrenches

• 1/4" Nut driver

• 1/4" Drill bit

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 1/2" to 1-1/4" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm)

vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.

7. 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 compression nut onto

outlet end with adjustable wrench. DO NOT

overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container

or sink, and turn ON the main water supply.

Flush the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF

the shutoff valve on the water pipe.

• Cordless drill

IMPORTANT:

• All installations must meet local plumbing code

requirements.

• DO NOT use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76

mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and

clogs more easily.

• 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.

A. “P” clamp

B. Plastic water line

C. Compression nut

D. Copper tubing

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install

copper tubing only in areas where the household

temperatures will remain above freezing.

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 1/4"

(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper

tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are

cut square.

Connect to Refrigerator

6. Check connection by pulling on copper tubing.

Attach copper tubing to refrigerator cabinet

with a “P” clamp. Turn on water supply to

refrigerator and check for leaks. Correct any

leaks.

1. Create a service loop (minimum diameter of 2

ft. [61.0 cm]) with the copper tubing. Avoid

kinks when coiling the copper tubing.

2. Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet

port. Place a compression nut and sleeve on

the copper tubing.

5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" hole in the

cold water pipe you have selected.

3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the

water valve inlet port. Shape tubing slightly so

that the tubing feeds straight into the port to

avoid kinks.

4. Slide the compression nut over the sleeve and

screw into the water valve inlet port.

Leveling/Adjusting the Door

Complete the Installation

To enhance the appearance and maintain performance, the refrigerator should be level.

To protect property and refrigerator from damage, observe the following:

• Protect vinyl or other flooring with cardboard, rugs, or other protective material.

• DO NOT use power tools when performing leveling procedure.

Final Steps

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Return all removable parts to doors and drawer

and food to refrigerator and freezer.

Materials Needed

Note: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch

of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice

produced. Allow three days to completely fill the

ice container.

• 1/4” hex head driver

• Carpenter’s level

Note: Complete any required panel installation and/or water supply connection before leveling.

Refrigerator should be in permanent location prior to leveling.

To raise the front of the refrigerator, turn the leveler foot

screw clockwise. Note: Having someone push against the

top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveler

foot screws.

Remove toe grille. Grasp firmly and pull outward

to unclip.

To lower the front of the refrigerator, turn the leveler foot

screw counterclockwise. Note: Having someone push

against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off

the leveler foot. This makes it easier to turn the levelers.

It may take several turns of the leveler foot screw to

adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

Replace toe grill. Align the toe grille mounting clips

with the lower cabinet slots. Push the toe grille firmly

until it snaps into place. Check for level.
