INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACK THE REFRIGERATOR DRAWERS
REMOVE THE PACKAGING
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before
turning on the refrigerator drawers. Rub a small amount
of liquid dish soap over the glue residue with your
fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry. Do not use
sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or
abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue.
These products can damage the surface of your
refrigerator drawers. Properly dispose of packaging.
CLEAN BEFORE USING
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the
inside of your refrigerator drawers before using them. See
“Cleaning.”
CONNECT WATER SUPPLY REFRIGERATOR
FREEZER DRAWERS ONLY
CONNECT TO WATER LINE
1. Unplug refrigerator drawers or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet
long enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a 1/2" to 1¹⁄₄" (12.5 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold
water pipe near the refrigerator drawers.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side
of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep
water away from the drill and normal sediment
from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need.
Measure from the connection on the lower left rear of
refrigerator drawers to the water pipe. Add 7 ft
(2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4" (6 mm)
O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both
ends of copper tubing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" hole in the cold water
pipe you have selected.
6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with
the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the
1/4" drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer
is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut.
Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so
washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten
or you may crush the copper tubing.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut
on the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of
the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it
will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with
adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink,
and turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing
until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the
water pipe. Coil the copper tubing.
CONNECT TO REFRIGERATOR
1. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a
compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the
compression nut. Do not overtighten. Use the tube
clamp on the back of the refrigerator drawers to
secure the tubing to the refrigerator drawers. This
will help avoid damage to the tubing when the
refrigerator drawers are pushed back against the wall.
2. Turn ON shutoff valve.
3. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator drawer(s).
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
When Moving Your Refrigerator Drawers:
Your refrigerator drawers are heavy. When moving the
appliance for service, be sure to cover the floor with
cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull
the appliance straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or
“walk” the appliance when trying to move it, as floor
damage could occur.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
