Door Alignment
A refrigerator
that is not level from side-to-side
may appear
to
have doors that are not properly
aligned.
If the doors appear
this
way, use the instructions
in the previous
section to check the
leveling.
The doors are designed
to be slightly
different
heights when the
refrigerator
is empty, in order to account
for the weight
of food
that will be placed
on the doors. If the doors are still not aligned
after checking
the leveling
and loading
the refrigerator
with food,
follow
the steps below to adjust the door alignment.
1.
Locate the alignment
screw on the bottom
hinge of the
refrigerator
door. See Graphic
9.
2.
Use a 5,_6" wrench
to turn the screw. To raise the refrigerator
door, turn the screw to the right. To lower the door, turn the
screw to the left.
3.
Check that the doors
are even at the top and bottom.
If
necessary,
continue
to turn the alignment
screw until the doors
are aligned.
4.
Replace
the base grille.
NOTE:
Be sure to refasten
the Tech Sheet behind
the base grille.
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
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 1/2"
(1.27 cm) to 11/4 '' (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 normal
sediment
from collecting
in the valve.
4.
Determine
the length of copper
tubing
you need. Measure
from
the connection
on the lower rear corner of refrigerator
to the
water
pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning.
Use 1¼,,
(6.35 ram) 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 ram) hole in the cold
water
pipe you have selected.
A. Cold
water
pipe
B. Pipe clamp
C, Copper
tubing
D, Compression
nut
E. Compression
sleeve
F, Shutoff
valve
G, Packing
nut
6.
Fasten the shutoff
valve
to the cold water
pipe with the pipe
clamp.
Be sure the outlet end is solidly
in the 1/4" (6.35 mm)
drilled
hole in the water
pipe and that the washer
is under the
pipe clamp.
Tighten
the packing
nut. Tighten the pipe clamp
screws slowly and evenly
so the washer
makes a watertight
seal. Do not overtighten,
or you may crush the copper
tubing.
7.
Slip the compression
sleeve and compression
nut on the copper
tubing
as shown. Insert the end of the tubing
into the outlet end
squarely
as far as it will go. Screw the compression
nut onto
outlet end with adjustable
wrench.
Do not overtighten.
8.
Place the free end of the tubing
in a container
or sink, and turn
ON the main water supply.
Flush the tubing
until water
is clear.
Turn OFF the shutoff valve
on the water
pipe. Coil the copper
tubing.
Connect to Refrigerator
2.
3.
Style 1
I. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
Remove and discard
the plastic
part that is attached
to the
inlet of the water
valve.
4.
5.
6.
Attach
the copper
tube to the valve
inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten
the compression
nut. Do not
overtig hten.
Use the tube clamp
on the back of the refrigerator
to secure
the tubing
to the refrigerator
as shown. This will help avoid
damage
to the tubing
when the refrigerator
is pushed
back
against
the wall.
Turn shutoff
valve ON.
Check for leaks. Tighten any connections
(including
connections
at the valve) or nuts that leak.

7.
The ice maker
is equipped
with a built-in
water
strainer.
If your
water conditions
require
a second
water
strainer, install it in the
1/4" (6.35 mm) water
line at either
tube connection.
Obtain
a
water
strainer
from your nearest appliance
dealer.
Style 2
1.
Unplug
refrigerator
or disconnect
power.
2.
Remove and discard
the black
nylon plug from the gray
water
tube on the rear of the refrigerator.
3.
If the gray water
tube supplied
with the refrigerator
is not long
enough,
a 1/4" x 1/4" (6.35 mm x 6.35
mm) coupling
is needed
in
order
to connect
the water tubing
to an existing
household
water
line. Thread
the provided
nut onto the coupling
on the
end of the copper
tubing.
