INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpack the Refrigerator Drawers
Remove the Packaging
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on 
the refrigerator drawers. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap 
over the glue residue with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and 
dry. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable 
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These 
products can damage the surface of your refrigerator drawers. 
Properly dispose of packaging. 
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of 
your refrigerator drawers before using them. See “Cleaning.” 
Connect Water Supply
(Refrigerator/Freezer Drawers and
Double Freezer Drawers only)
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 ½" to 1
¹⁄₄" (1.25 cm to 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 left rear of refrigerator to the 
water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 
¹⁄₄" 
(6.35 mm) 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" hole in the cold water pipe you 
have selected.
 
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" 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 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 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
1. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression 
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not 
overtighten. 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.
2. Turn shutoff valve ON. 
3. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including 
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
 
4. 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.
5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install 
refrigerator drawer(s).
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
When Moving Your Refrigerator Drawers:
Your refrigerator drawers are heavy. When moving the 
appliance for service, be sure to cover the floor with 
cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull 
the appliance straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or 
“walk” the appliance when trying to move it, as floor 
damage could occur.
