Notes:
• Use copper tubing only for installation. Plastic is
less durable and can cause damage.
• Add 8' to tubing length needed to reach water
supply for creation of service loop.
1. Create service loop with
copper tubing (minimum 2'
diameter). Avoid kinks in the
copper tubing when
bending the service loop. Do
not use plastic tubing.
2. Remove plastic cap from water valve
inlet port.
3. Place brass nut (A) and sleeve (B)
on copper tube end as illustrated.
Reminder: Do not use an old
sleeve. The nut and sleeve are
provided in the Use and Care
packet.
4. Place end of copper tubing into
water valve inlet port. Shape
tubing slightly. Do not kink – so
that tubing feeds straight into inlet
port.
5. Slide brass nut over sleeve and
screw nut into inlet port.
Place adjustable wrench on nut (1)
attached to plastic waterline and
maintain position.
Using second adjustable wrench
turn the lower nut (2)
counterclockwise and fully tighten
while holding the upper nut in
place.
Important: Do not over-tighten.
Cross-threading may occur.

6. Pull on tubing to confirm
connection is secure.
Connect tubing to frame
with water tubing clamp (C)
and turn on water supply.
Check for leaks and correct
if necessary. Continue to
observe the water supply
connection for two to three
hours prior to moving the
refrigerator to its permanent
location.
7. Monitor water connection for 24 hours. Correct
leaks, if necessary.
Opening and Closing Your
Fresh Food Doors
Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed with two
fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or closed
independently of one another.
There is a vertically hinged section on the left fresh
food door. When the left door is closed, the hinged
section automatically forms a seal between the two
doors when both doors are closed.
When the left door is opened, the hinged section
automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe
B
personal injury or death, DO NOT attempt to
A
remove the vertically hinged section from the fresh
food section.
To avoid possible product damage, ALWAYS verify
that the vertically hinged section is folded against
the edge of the door prior to closing.
