Installation
To avoid property damage or possible injury,
follow basic precautions, including the
following:
• Consult a plumber to connect
tubing to household plumbing to assure
compliance with local codes and ordinances.
• Confirm water pressure to water valve is between
35 and 100 pounds per square inch, 20 pounds per
square inch without filter.
• Do not use a self-piercing, or
reduce water flow and can become clogged over
time, and may cause leaks if repair is attempted.
• Tighten nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.
Finish tightening nuts with pliers and wrenches. Do
not overtighten.
• Wait two to three hours before placing refrigerator
into final position to check and correct any water
leaks. Recheck for leaks after 24 hours.
• Verify the copper tubing under the sleeve is smooth
and free from defects. Do not reuse an old sleeve.
Materials Needed:
• 1 " outer diameter flexible copper tubing

• Shut-off valve (requires a
water supply line before valve attachment)
• Adjustable wrench
• 1 " hex nut driver

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 it into a 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. Tighten nut with wrench.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten. 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 seal automatically folds inward so that it is
out of the way.
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe
personal injury or death, DO NOT attempt to
remove the hinged seal from the fresh food
section.
B
To avoid possible product damage, ALWAYS verify
that the hinged seal is folded against the edge of
the door prior to closing.
