Installation
Materials Needed:
• 1 " outer diameter flexible copper tubing
⁄

• Shut-off valve (requires a
water supply line before valve attachment)
• Adjustable wrenches (2)
• 1 " hex nut driver
⁄
4
Notes:
• Use only copper tubing 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 valve inlet port.
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
inlet port.
5. Slide brass nut over
sleeve and screw nut into
inlet port. Tighten nut
with wrench.
(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.
Important: Do not over-tighten. Cross threading may
occur.

6. Pull on tubing to confirm
connection is secure. Connect
tubing to frame with water
tubing clamp (C). Slide
waterline into retainer, then turn
on water supply. Check for
leaks and correct if 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.

To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe
personal injury or death, DO NOT attempt to

remove the vertical hinged section from the fresh
food section.
Supply
To avoid possible product damage, ALWAYS verify
that the vertical hinged section is folded against
the edge of the door prior to closing.
