3. Use a hex-head socket wrench to adjust the leveling screws.

Turn the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the
refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that
side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust
the tilt of the refrigerator. See Graphic 7.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and
rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

4. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they

close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly
more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It
may take several more turns, and you should turn both
leveling screws the same amount.

5. Replace the base grille.

NOTE: Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line
is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator 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

" (12.70 mm) to 1

¹⁄₄

" (3.18 cm) vertical cold water

pipe near the refrigerator.

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 rear corner of the
refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for
cleaning. Use

¹⁄₄

" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper

tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5. Using a grounded drill, drill a

¹⁄₄

" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold

water pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be

sure outlet end is solidly in the

¹⁄₄

" (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the

water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten
packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and
evenly so the 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 the compression
nut onto the outlet end with an adjustable wrench. Do not
overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and

turn ON main water supply and flush out the tubing until
water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.
Coil the copper tubing.

Connect to Refrigerator

Style 1

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove the shipping tape from the gray, coiled water tubing

on the rear of the refrigerator.
