Install Anti-Tip Boards

IMPORTANT:

 

ƒ

To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 1” 

(2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit 

is higher than 1” (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the 

refrigerator must be braced.

 

ƒ

It is recommended that board(s) be installed before the 

refrigerator is installed.

 

ƒ

Board(s) must be long enough to fully cover the width of the 

compressor cover.

 

ƒ

Locate the board(s) so the bottom surface(s) of the board(s) is 

(are) 84” (213.4 cm) from the floor.

 

ƒ

During installation, raise the refrigerator up so there is ¼”  

(6.4 mm) maximum between the top of the refrigerator and the 

bottom of the anti-tip board(s). Do not crush the compressor 

cover when raising the rear leveling legs.

1.  Mark the stud locations on the rear wall 80” to 90” (203.2 cm 

to 228.6 cm) above the floor.

2.  Securely attach one or two 2” x 4” x 32” (5.1 cm x 10.2 cm x 

81.3 cm) boards to the wall studs behind refrigerator. Use six 

#8 x 3” (7.6 cm) (or longer) wood screws. The wood screws 

must be screwed into the studs at least 1½” (3.8 cm). The 

board(s) must overlap the compressor cover.

Installation Instructions

Connect Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line 

is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

Install Saddle Valve

NOTE: If the existing water line meets the Water Supply 

Requirements, see Connecting to Refrigerator.
1.  Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.  Turn OFF the main water supply. Turn ON the nearest faucet 

long enough to clear the line of water.

3.  Locate a ½” to 1¼” (1.3 cm to 3.2 cm) vertical cold water pipe 

near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

 

ƒ

Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

 

ƒ

A horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the pipe, 

not the bottom. Doing so will help keep water away from the 

drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4.  Using a cordless drill, drill a ¼” (6.4 mm) hole in the cold water 

pipe you have selected.

5.  Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe 

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¼” (6.4 mm) 

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 the washer makes a watertight 

seal. Do not overtighten.

6.  Turn on the main water supply.
7.  Check for leaks around the saddle valve.
IMPORTANT: Before attaching the water supply line to the shutoff 

valve, flush the main water supply line to remove particles and air 

in the water line. Allow enough flow so that the water becomes 

clear. Flushing the water line may help avoid filters and/or water 

valves from becoming clogged.
