INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Removing the Packaging Connecting the Water-Supply Line The refrigerator comes bolted to a wooden pallet and boxed in heavy cardboard. CAUTION At least two people are needed to unbox the refrigerator safely. Remove the packaging outdoors or in a space with a very tall ceiling. CAUTION • The refrigerator is secured to the pallet with six 1/2" bolts. Do not lay the refrigerator down to remove the pallet. • Do not cut, scissor, saw, or otherwise remove the carton with sharp tools. 1. Carefully cut the banding at the top/bottom of the carton, and lift the carton off the refrigerator. 2. Slide out the two rear-corner posts. 3. Remove the kickplate (taped to the top of the refrigerator), and set it aside. This consists of two options in which either: 1) codeapproved flexible tubing, or 2) copper tubing, is attached to the main water-supply shut-off valve. Style 1: Flex Tube to Shut-Off Valve First, review the directions. Ensure you have a minimum 7-ft. code-approved, flexible supply line. NOTE If the water-line connection from the home supply line does not look like the connection in the graphic below, go instead to Style 2: Copper Line to Shut-Off Valve. IMPORTANT • If you turn the refrigerator on before connecting the water line, be sure to turn the ice maker off. • With this installation style, a valve placed behind the refrigerator would not allow the refrigerator front to be flush with the cabinets on either side. For a "flush" installation, the shut-off valve needs to be inside one of the base cabinets to the left/ right of the refrigerator. NOTE The refrigerator's front leveling legs are packed with the kickplate. You will install the legs in a later procedure. 1. (With the refrigerator unplugged) Connect the flex tubing to the water shut-off valve by threading the provided nut onto the valve. 4. At the base of the refrigerator on both sides, remove all six bolts that secure the refrigerator to the pallet. 5. From the freezer side, tilt the refrigerator, and remove the bracket. 6. Slide the appliance dolly under the freezer side, and carefully lower the refrigerator. 7. Place the corner posts on the refrigerator's forward corners (to protect those corners from tension from security straps), and secure the refrigerator to the dolly. NOTE You may need to cut the corner posts to a usable length. 8. With the appliance dolly, lift the refrigerator off the pallet. CAUTION • Do not roll/drag the refrigerator while it is on the pallet. • Ensure the water line is clear of the appliance dolly. Callout Description A Bulb (engages water-valve outlet) B Nut (slides forward to screw/attach to water-valve outlet) C Flexible water line (carries water to refrigerator) 2. (With the open end of the tubing in a bucket) Turn on the shut-off valve, check the fittings for leaks, and tighten any loose connections. 11
