Connecting the Ice and Water Dispenser
Connect the ice and Water
System to Cold Water
Supply.
Refer to the instructions on the back of
the cabinet.
,CAUTION
To avoid cross threading and
water leaks, you must start all the
water tube fittings several turns
by hand before tightening with
wrenches. DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN. Also be sure to double
check for water leaks after turning
on the water pressure to the
refrigerator.
Placement and Leveling
Placement
On some counter tops there is a 1"
overhang. If this is the case, the front
corners of the counter top must be
trimmed off at a 45 ° angle for the refrig-
erator and freezer door clearance (see
Figure 12). To build-in your refrigerator a
Perimeter Trim Kit is available at an
additional cost.
A recessed electrical outlet installed on
the back kitchen wall allows for a built-in
installation of your refrigerator.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage to soft
vinyl flooring follow the floor prod-
uct manufacturer's recommenda-
tions when installing or moving
the refrigerator.
Leveling
Install the unit on a solid floor that is
strong enough to support the combined
weight of the unit, approximately 320 Ibs.;
and the food, maximum of 625 Ibs. with
an approximate combined weight of
945 lbs.
The unit must be level to insure com-
plete door closings and proper ice mak-
ing. Improper leveling will cause water
spills and uneven ice cube size.
Units have front wheels that can be
adjusted by turning a screw as shown in
Figure 13.
If the floor is uneven from side to side,
place thin metal plates under one of the
rear wheels.
To build in your refrigerator with other
options, such as wood or laminate con-
sult with a local kitchen designer.
