Preparing to install the refrigerator.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Water Supply to the Icemaker

You will need to connect the icemaker to a cold water line.

A water supply kit (containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings
and instructions) is available at extra cost from your dealer or from
Service and Parts, 800-626-2002.

Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below
60°F. (16°C.) because it will not run often enough to maintain
proper temperatures.

Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.

circulation and plumbing and electrical connections:
