If you are connecting the water line directly to copper tubing
and not to a shutoff valve, you need a ferrule, a union, and a
1/4" (6.4 mm) compression fitting.
Consult a qualified cabinetmaker or carpenter to make the

Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall
below 55°F (13°C).
The floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than 600
lbs (272 kg), door panels and contents of the refrigerator.
The ceiling height must allow for side tipping radius. See
Tipping Radius.
The location should permit doors to open fully. See Door
Swing Dimensions.
The location must permit top grille removal. See Opening
Dimensions.
Opening Dimensions
To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 1"
(2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit
is higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the
refrigerator must be braced.
If anti-tip boards are needed, they must be installed to the
rear wall studs so that the bottom of the anti-tip board is 84"
(213.4 cm) from the floor. See Install Anti-Tip Boards for more
information.
NOTES:
- A clearance of ¹⁄
" (1.3 cm) must be maintained above the
2
top grille in order for the top grille to be removed.
- Do not remove the foam gasket on top of the compressor
cover unless removal is necessary to fit the unit under
a soffit. Removal of the gasket will cause loss in cooling
efficiency.
- If installing under a solid soffit, after installation raise the
leveling legs so that the gasket is pressed snugly against
the soffit.
