INSTALLATION

Connect the tubing to the refrigerator.

NOTE

 

Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be 

sure that the refrigerator power cord is not plugged 

into the wall outlet.

 

Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water 

valve.

 

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto 

the end of the tubing as shown.

 

Insert the end of the copper tubing into the 

connection as far as possible. While holding the 

tubing, tighten the fitting.

Leveling and Door Alignment

Leveling

The refrigerator has two front leveling legs. Adjust the 

legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or side-to side. 

If the refrigerator seems unsteady, or the doors do 

not close easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the 

instructions below:

1

Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side 

of the refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may 

take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the 

tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE

 

A flare nut wrench works best, but an open-end 

wrench will suffice. Do not over-tighten.

2

Open both doors and check to make sure that 

they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, 

tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by 

turning both leveling legs to the left. It may take 

several more turns, and be sure to turn both 

leveling legs the same amount.
