refrigerator away from the wall for
cleaning. These rollers should be set
so the refrigerator rests firmly on the
floor. To assure that the doors

Water Supply to Icemaker (on some models)
If your refrigerator has an icemaker, or if you plan to add an icemaker later, the icemaker will have
to be connected to a
cold
water line. A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shut-off valve,
fittings and instructions is available at extra cost from your dealer. There should be sufficient tubing
for the icemaker from the cold water supply to allow you to move the refrigerator out from the wall
