• Carefully cut banding at the top and bottom, remove
outer carton.
• Slide out back corner posts (2).
• Support blocks on the bottom of the refrigeration
case must be removed before sliding unit off skid or
damage will occur. Carefully, tilt refrigerator and
slide blocks out from beneath, slide unit off skid.
• Remove toekick. Set aside for final installation.
• Slide carton off top of cabinet.
NOTE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LAY CABINET
DOWN IN ORDER TO REMOVE SKID!
• The unit is secured to the skid with 4 slotted tie-down
straps. Remove the four 5/16" bolts from the base
channels in the tie-downs.
STEP 2 INSTALL WATER LINE
• A cold water supply is required for automatic ice-
maker operation. The water pressure must be be-
tween 40 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route 1/4" OD copper tubing between house cold
water line and the water connection location.
• Copper tubing should be long enough to extend to
the front of the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to
accommodate bend leading into the water line
connection.

line of water.
• Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water
valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet.
The shut-off valve should be located where it will be
easily accessible.
Packing Nut
NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a vertical water
pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal water
pipe, make the connection at the top or side, to
avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.
Outlet Valve
Ferrule
(Sleeve)
• Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe.
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in
many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure
a saddle type valve complies with your local plumbing
codes.
• Fasten the shut-off valve to the pipe with pipe clamp.
• Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell. Do not over tighten.
• Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the
end of the tubing and connect it to the shut-off valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve
and ferrule is tightened.
• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris. Run
about a quart of water through the tubing into a
bucket. Shut off water supply at the shut-off valve.
NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing
Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves
are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts.
Consult with your licensed plumber.

WARNING:
ANTI-TIP PRECAUTIONS
The refrigerator is top-heavy and must be secured to
prevent the possibility of tipping forward.
Skip this step when not using an RO System
If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a
Reverse Osmosis Water System use the refrigerator’s
filter bypass plug. Using the refrigerator’s water
filtration cartridge with the RO filter can result in
hollow ice cubes.
ATTENTION:
