NOTE: The foam gasket, on top of the compressor cover, will
compress to fit under the anti-tip board(s). There is no need to
trim the gasket.
To Install Anti-tip Boards
1. Mark the stud locations on rear wall.
2. Securely attach two 2" x 4" x 32" (5 cm x 10 cm x 81 cm)
boards to wall studs behind refrigerator. Use six #8 x 3"
(7.6 cm) (or longer) wood screws. The wood screws must be
screwed into the studs at least 1½" (3.8 cm). The boards must
overlap the compressor cover.

Connect the Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
Connect to Water Line
Parts Needed
Minimum 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible, codes approved water
supply line
Style 1—Shutoff Valve Connection
NOTE: If your water line connection does not look like Style 1, see
"Style 2—Copper Line Connection."
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power supply.
IMPORTANT:
There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush installation if
a water shutoff valve is located in the wall behind the
refrigerator. The water shutoff should be located in the base
cabinet on either side of the refrigerator.
Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flush the main
water supply line to remove particles and air in the water line.
Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing the
water line may help avoid filters and/or water valves from
becoming clogged.

2. Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to the
water shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto the
shutoff valve as shown.

3. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoff
valve ON.
4. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (including
connections at the valve) that leak.
Style 2—Copper Line Connection
NOTE: If there is a water supply line that meets the specifications
in "Water Supply Requirements," proceed to "Connecting to
Refrigerator." If not, use the following instructions to connect to
the household cold water supply.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and keep normal sediment from collecting in the
valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add
7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) O.D.
(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper
tubing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.
