Style 2

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove and discard the short, black plastic part from the end

of the water line inlet.

3. Thread the nut onto the end of the tubing. Tighten the nut by

hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not

overtighten.

NOTE: To avoid rattling, be sure the copper tubing does not

touch the cabinet’s side wall or other parts inside the cabinet.

4. Install the water supply tube clamp around the water supply

line to reduce strain on the coupling.

5. Turn shutoff valve ON.

6. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including

connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

7. On some models, the ice maker is equipped with a built-in

water strainer. If your water conditions require a second water

strainer, install it in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube

connection. Obtain a water strainer from your appliance

dealer.

Complete the Installation

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Flush the water system. See “Water and Ice Dispensers.”

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 storage bin.

Handle Installation and Removal

Parts Included: Door handles (2), Drawer handle(s) (1 or 2

depending on model), ¹⁄₈" hex key, spare setscrew(s)

NOTE: With the handles laying on a flat surface, the handles

intended for the drawers are more curved. They will not mount

flush against the doors.

Install Handles

NOTE: Handle mounting setscrews are preinstalled inside the

handle.

1. Remove the handles from the packaging inside the

refrigerator, and place them on a soft surface.

2. Open a refrigerator compartment door. On the closed door,

place a handle onto the shoulder screws so that the setscrews

are facing the adjacent door.

3. Firmly push the handle toward the door until the handle base

is flush against the door.

4. While holding the handle, insert the short end of the hex key

into the upper hole and slightly rotate the hex key until it is

engaged in the setscrew.

5. Using a clockwise motion tighten the setscrew just until it

begins to contact the shoulder screw. Do not fully tighten.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to fasten the lower setscrew.

7. Once both setscrews have been partially tightened as

instructed in the previous steps, fully tighten both setscrews.

IMPORTANT: When the screws feel tight, tighten them an

additional quarter-turn. The handle is not properly installed

without this extra tightening.

8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 to install the other handle onto the

adjacent refrigerator door.
