Installation Specifications  
Reverse osmosis water supply  
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of  
Cabinet Layout

the wall if service becomes necessary.  
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).  
A grounded three prong non-GFCI electrical outlet must  
be provided and should be in a location that allows the  
refrigerator to be connected without an extension cord. See  
Electrical Requirements for additional information.  
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).  
The plumbing for the water line can come through the floor  
flush to or from the back wall. Install the water valve in a  
location that allows it to be turned off without moving the  
refrigerator out in the event the refrigerator or water line  
requires service.  
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than  
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):  
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse  
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.  
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill  
after heavy usage.

Water Supply Reqs  
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.  
IMPORTANT:  
All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.  
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.  
It is highly recommended that the electrical outlet be located so  
that power may be disconnected without pulling the refrigerator  
out from the wall.  
Install a shut off valve between the refrigerator and water  
supply. Use 1/4” copper tubing with a compression nut and  
compression sleeve and check for leaks. Allow a minimum of  
24” (610 mm) diameter service loop of copper tubing outside  
the wall or floor for easy connection to the water supply.  
Install copper tubing only in areas where the household  
temperatures will remain above freezing.  
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or  
removing a light bulb, turn COOLING OFF, and then disconnect  
the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished,  
reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn  
COOLING ON. See the use and care manual.  
Do not use a piecing type or 3/16” (5 mm) saddle valve which  
will reduce water flow and clog more easily.  
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,  
qualified plumber.

Installation Instructions  
Connecting the Water Supply  
Reinstalling the Doors  
Read all directions before you begin.  
After the moving the refrigerator to the location where it will be  
used, reinstall the door(s) and freezer drawer front.  
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line  
is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.  
1. Replace the rollers.  
Connect to Water Line  
2. Slide the screws on the  
back of the drawer front  
into the slots in the drawer  
brackets on both sides.  
You may need to move  
the bottom of the bracket  
around slightly to get the  
slot to line up with the  
screw.  
1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.  
2. Turn OFF the main water supply. Turn ON the nearest faucet  
long enough to clear the line of water.  
3. Locate a ½” to 1¼” (13 mm to 32 mm) vertical cold water  
pipe near the refrigerator.  
IMPORTANT:  
Make sure it is a cold water pipe.  
3. Tighten the four front panel  
screws completely. Do not  
over-tighten.  
A horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the  
pipe, not the botm. This will help keep water away from  
the drill and nediment from collecting in the valve.  
4. Determine thper tubing you need. Measure  
from the cr of the refrigerator to the  
water piow for cleaning. Use ¼”  
(6.4 ter) copper tubing. Be sure both  
enre cut square.  
4. Assemble the parts for the top hinges as shown. Do not  
tighten the screws completely.  
5. Install the center hinges using the existing Phillips screws. If  
equipped reinstall the center hinge shims.

to depress and hold the dispenser  
lever for 5 seconds, then release it for  
5 seconds. Repeat until water begins  
to flow. Once water begins to flow,  
continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever  
(5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) for an additional 5 minutes.  
This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system.  
Additional flushing may be required in some households. As  
air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the  
dispenser.  
To raise, turn the  
leveling screw  
clockwise.  
To lower, turn the  
leveling screw counter-  
clockwise.  
NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the  
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To  
continue dispensing, remove the container and press the  
dispensing lever again.  
3. Open the door again to make sure that it closes as easily as  
you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear  
by turning both adjustments screws clockwise. It may take  
several more turns, and you should turn both adjustment  
screws the same amount.  
NOTICE: Flush four (4) gallons of water through the water  
filter cartridge before use.  
2. Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill  
water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh  
supply.  
4. Replace the base grill.  
Handle Installation  
Some units do not come with the handle installed to allow  
the customer to choose the handle style. Optional handle kits  
are also available. See the use and care manual for a list of  
available handle kits.  
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 the ice container.  
The installation instructions for the handle are included with  
the kit.
