4
• Shut-off valve (requires a
water supply line before valve attachment)
• Adjustable wrenches (2)
• 1 " hex nut driver
⁄
4
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 supply connection.
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
supply line.
5. Slide brass nut over
sleeve and screw nut
into supply line.
(1) Place adjustable
wrench on nut attached
to plastic waterline and
maintain position.
(2) Using second
adjustable wrench turn
the upper nut clockwise
and fully tighten while holding the lower nut in
place.

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.
For proper usage and to
avoid possible damage,
always ensure the vertical
A
hinged section (on the left
fresh food door) remains
B
folded inward before closing
both doors. When both doors
are closed, the hinged section
automatically forms a seal between the two doors.
When the left door is opened, the vertical hinged
section automatically folds inward so that is is out of
the way.
2
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe
personal injury or death, DO NOT attempt to
1
remove the vertical hinged section from the fresh
food section.
To avoid possible product damage, ALWAYS verify
that the vertical hinged section is folded against
the edge of the door prior to closing.
