Do not crush the compressor cover when raising therear leveling legs.To Install Anti-tip Boards1. Mark the stud locations on rear wall 80" to 90" (203 cm to229 cm) above floor.2. Securely attach one or two 2" x 4" x 32" (5 cm x 10 cm x81 cm) boards to wall studs behind refrigerator. Use six#8 x 3" (7.6 cm) (or longer) wood screws. The wood screwsmust be screwed into the studs at least 1½" (3.8 cm). Theboard(s) must overlap the compressor cover.Connect the Water SupplyRead all directions before you begin.IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water lineis connected, turn the ice maker OFF.Connect to Water LineParts Needed:■ Minimum 7 ft (2.13 m) flexible, codes approved watersupply lineStyle 1—Shutoff Valve ConnectionNOTE: If your water line connection does not look like Style 1,see “Style 2—Copper Line Connection.”1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power supply.IMPORTANT: Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flushthe main water supply line to remove particles and air in the waterline. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing thewater line may help avoid filters and/or water valves frombecoming clogged.2. Connect the flexible, codes approved water supply line to thewater shutoff valve by threading the provided nut onto theshutoff valve as shown.3. Place the end of the tubing into a bucket, and turn shutoffvalve ON.4. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections (includingconnections at the valve) that leak.A.
