minimum guidelines in your site preparation:
• Choose a place near a grounded electrical outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord or an
adapter plug.
• Avoid direct sunlight and close
proximity to a range, dishwasher or
other heat source.
• Floor should be level and able to
support a fully loaded refrigerator.
• The refrigerator’s Ice Dispenser
requires water supply access.
• Plan for easy access to counter tops when removing food.
• For complete access to drawers and freezer baskets, doors must be able to fully open.
• Load refrigerator from side of cabinet only.
• Do not run retaining straps over handles nor overtighten straps.
• Never use refrigerator handles to move the refrigerator.
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections: Sides & Top: ⅜" / Rear: 1"
CAUTION
Room temperatures below 55°F
(13°C) or above 110°F (43°C) will

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat blade screwdriver,
and Phillips
TM
screwdriver.
• Access to a household cold water line with water
pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
A water supply line made of¼" (6 mm) OD, copper or
braided, flexible stainless steel tubing. To determine the
length of tubing needed, measure the distance from the
ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to
your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7', so the
refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning.
• A shuto valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a
self-piercing type shuto valve.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ice maker
inlet valve.
Water Supply Connection
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which
can cause death or severe
personal injury, disconnect
the refrigerator from electrical
power before connecting a water
supply line to the refrigerator.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Copper or Stainless Steel braided, flexible tubing is recommended for the water supply
line. Water supply tubing made of ¼" (6 mm) plastic is not recommended to be used.
Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will
not be responsible for any damage if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.
• DO NOT reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is
connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.
To Connect Water Supply Line To Household Water Supply
1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical power source.
2. Place the end of the water supply line into a sink or bucket. Turn ON the water supply and flush the
supply line until the water is clear. Turn OFF the water supply at shuto valve.
3. Open the locking clips and grab the water line coming from the refrigerator. Remove the plastic cap
from the water inlet fitting and discard the cap.
4. If using (recommended) stainless steel braided tubing, the nut and ferrule are already assembled on
the tubing. Slide the compression nut onto the water inlet fitting and finger tighten.
NOTE
Check with local building authority for
recommendations on water lines and
associated materials prior to installing
the refrigerator. Depending on local/state
building codes, we recommend, for homes
with existing valves, using Smart Choice®
Water Line Kit 5304437642 with a 6' (1.8
m) Stainless Steel Water Line.
5. Using ½" and
7
/
16
" wrenches (one to hold
the household water line nut and the
other to hold the water inlet fitting nut),
tighten a half turn with a wrench.
DO NOT overtighten.
6. Replace the connected tubes into clips,
and lock the clips back in place to keep
the tubing in the right position.
7. Turn ON the water supply at the
shuto valve and tighten any leaking
connections.
8. Reconnect the refrigerator to the
electrical power source.
9. Ensure the ice maker is turned ON.
10. Purge air from Ice & Water Dispenser
System.
by operating the water dispenser
for 3-4 minutes. This will require
dispensing several glasses of water.
