WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT:

• If you turn the refrigerator on before the

water line is connected, turn the ice maker

off.

• All installations must meet local plumbing

code requirements.

• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. In-

stall copper tubing only in areas where tem-

peratures will remain above freezing.

A kit is available with a 1/4″ (6.35 mm) saddle-

type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.

Before purchasing the kit, make sure that a

saddle-type valve complies with local plumb-

ing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or a 3/16″

(4.76 mm) saddle valve because they reduce

water flow and clog easily.

Connect the ice maker to a cold water line with

water pressure between 15 and 100 psi (103 -

690 kPa). If you have questions about water

pressure, contact the water utility company.

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 tip-

ping during use, as shown.

• It is recommended that the boards be in-

stalled before the refrigerator is installed.

• Boards must be long enough to fully cover

the width of the compressor cover.

2" (5 cm)

1. Center board 1/4" (6 mm) max. above refrigerato

2. Two 2" x 4" x 32" (5 cm x 10 cm x 81 cm) boards

3. Attach to studs with 6-#8 x 3" (7.6 cm) screws

4. Compressor cover

To Install The Anti-Tip Boards:

1. Mark the stud locations on the rear wall

80″ to 90″ (203 - 229 cm) above the floor.

2. Securely attach one or two 2″ x 4″ x 32″

(5 cm x 10 cm x 81 cm) wood boards to the

wall studs behind the refrigerator. Use six

#8 x 3″ (7.6 cm) or longer wood screws.

The wood screws must be screwed into

the studs at least 1-1/2″ (3.8 cm). The

boards must overlap the compressor cover.

• Locate the boards so the bottom surface of

the boards are 84″ (213 cm) from the floor.

• During installation, raise the refrigerator up

so there is 1/4″ (6.4 mm) maximum between

the top of the refrigerator and the bottom of

the anti-tip boards. Do not crush the con-

denser cover when raising the rear leveling

legs.
