To connect the water supply to the rear of your refrigerator:
1 Ensure that the refrigerator is not plugged in.
2 Flush the supply line until water is clear by placing the
end of the copper tube in a sink or bucket and opening
the shut-off valve.
3 Remove the plastic cap from the water valve inlet at the
rear of your refrigerator. Discard the cap.
4 Slide the brass compression nut, then the ferrule (sleeve)
onto copper tube.
5 Push the copper tube into water valve inlet as far as it will
go (1/4 inch).
6 Slide the ferrule (sleeve) into valve and finger-tighten the
compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with
a wrench. Do not over-tighten.
7 Secure the copper tube to your refrigerator’s rear panel
with a steel clamp and screw (see illustration).
8 Coil the excess copper tubing (about 2½ turns) behind
your refrigerator as shown. Arrange coiled tubing to avoid
vibration or wear against other surfaces.
9 Open water supply shut-off valve and tighten any connections that leak.

entrances. If the refrigerator is larger than an entrance, consider two options:
• Removetheentrancedoorifoneexists.
• Removetherefrigeratordoors(seehowinyourUse & Care Guide).
When using a hand truck:
• Loadrefrigeratorfromsideofcabinetonly.

refrigerator to your household water
supply line plus 7 feet (2.1 meters).

Place In Permanent Position
If possible, use a hand truck to position the refrigerator
directly in front of its cabinet enclosure.
Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond its water
supply (copper tubing) connections.
Plug in the power cord, and push the refrigerator straight
back into place.
Level Refrigerator & Adjust Doors (if necessary)
Guidelines for final positioning of your refrigerator:
• Allfourcornersofthecabinetmustrestrmlyonthe
floor.
• Thecabinetshouldbelevelatthefrontandrear.
• Thesidesshouldtilt¼-inch(6mm)fromfronttoback(to
ensure that doors close and seal properly).
• Doorsshouldalignwitheachotherandbelevel.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1 Open both doors and remove the toe grille by gently pulling forward.
(See illustration 1.)
2 Close the doors and use a flat-blade screwdriver or 3/8 inch socket
wrench to raise or lower the front rollers. (See illustration 2.)
3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals touching the cabinet on
all four sides.
To level the doors using the lower hinge:
1 If the refrigerator door is lower than the freezer door, raise the
refrigerator door by turning the adjustment screw clockwise. (See
illustration 3.)
2 If the freezer door is lower than the refrigerator door, raise the freezer
door by turning the adjustment screw clockwise. (See illustration 3.)
3 Ensure door stop flange is touching hinge flange. If not, readjust as
necessary. (See illustration 4.)
4 Replace the toe grille by fitting it into place.
