2.
Locate the board(s) so the bottom surface(s) of the board(s)
is(are) 84" (213 cm) from the floor.
During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is
1/4"(6.35 mm) maximum between the top of the refrigerator
and the bottom of the anti-tip board(s). Do not crush the
compressor cover when raising the rear leveling legs.
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.
Install Anti-tip Boards
Mark the stud locations on rear wall.
Securely attach one or 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 11/2 '' (3.8 cm). The
board(s) must overlap the compressor cover.

Install Anti-Tip Boards
IM PORTANT:
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.
• It is recommended that board(s) be installed before the
refrigerator is installed.
• Board(s) must be long enough to fully cover the width of 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.
IM PORTANT:
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.
