Install Anti-Tip Boards
IMPORTANT:
To avoid tipping during use, 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, then the
refrigerator must be braced.
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" (213.4 cm) from the floor.
During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is ¼"
(6.4 mm) maximum between the top of the refrigerator and the
bottom of the anti-tip board(s). Do not crush the compressor
cover when raising the rear leveling legs.
NOTE: The foam gasket, on top of the compressor cover, will
compress to fit under the anti-tip board(s). There is no need to
trim the gasket.
To Install Anti-tip Boards
1. Mark the stud locations on the rear wall 80" to 90" (203.2 cm
to 228.6 cm) above the floor.
2. Securely attach one or two 2" x 4" x 32" (5.1 cm x 10.2 cm x
81.3 cm) boards to the wall studs behind refrigerator. Use six
#8 x 3" (7.6 cm) (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
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line
is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
Connect to Water Line:
Style 1 - Shutoff valve Connection
NOTE: If your water line connection does not look like Style 1,
see Style 2—Copper Line Connection.
Parts Needed: Minimum 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible, codes approved
water supply line
1. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.
IMPORTANT:
There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush installation
if a water shutoff valve is located in the wall behind the
refrigerator. The water shutoff should be located in the base
cabinet on either side of the refrigerator.
Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flush the main
water supply line to remove particles and air in the water line.
Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing the
water line may help avoid filters and/or water valves from
becoming clogged.
2. Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to the
water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto the
shutoff valve as shown.
A. Bulb
B. Nut
C. Water tubing
Style 1
3. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff
valve ON.
4. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including
connections at the valve) that leak.
