Installation Instructions for 3 Door French Door Refrigerator

General Warnings and Recommendations

1. Preparing For Installation

Site Preparation Guidelines:

• Choose a place near a grounded electrical outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
• Avoid direct sunlight and close proximity to a range, dishwasher or other heat source.
• Floor should be level and able to support a fully loaded refrigerator.
• Ensure water supply access for your refrigerator's Ice Dispenser.
• Plan for easy access to counter tops when removing food.
• For complete access to drawers and freezer baskets, doors must be able to fully open.
• Load refrigerator from side of cabinet only.
• Do not run retaining straps over handles nor overtighten straps.
• Never use refrigerator handles to move the refrigerator.

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections: Sides & Top: 3/8 inch / Rear: 1 inch.

2. Connect Water Supply

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips™ screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
• A water supply line made of 1/4 inch (6 mm) OD, copper or braided, flexible, stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet, so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning.
• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve:

1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.
2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.
3. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
4. If you use copper tubing: Slide brass nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (1/4 inch). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure 1.
5. If you use braided, flexible stainless steel tubing: The nut is already assembled on the tubing. Slide nut onto valve inlet and finger tighten nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure 2.
6. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
7. Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 2½ turns, behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.
8. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.
9. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.
10. To turn ice maker(s) on, ensure Ice Maker is enabled on display (LED is lit) or set the ice maker's On/Off switch to the "ON" position (freezer ice maker).

Diagram Descriptions:

Figure 1 (Copper Tubing): Illustrates connecting copper water supply tubing to the refrigerator's water inlet valve. It shows a brass compression nut and a ferrule (sleeve) sliding onto the copper line before it's inserted into the valve. A steel clamp secures the tubing to the rear panel.

Figure 2 (Braided Tubing): Illustrates connecting braided flexible stainless steel tubing to the water inlet valve. It shows the pre-assembled nut on the tubing being attached to the valve inlet. A steel clamp secures the tubing to the rear panel.

3. Door Removal/Installation

Removing the Doors:

1. Remove the three screws at the top left and right of the cabinet from both hinge covers, taking care not to damage the door sensor.
2. Disconnect any harnesses between the cabinet and doors by firmly grasping both sides of the connector, then press the latch and pull apart.
3. Trace lightly around the top hinges of the door with a pencil.
4. Remove bulkhead cover at rear of unit to access water tubing. Disconnect water tube from yellow water line at the push-lock connection on rear of unit below the bulkhead.
5. Pull the water tube out of the conduit from the top of the cabinet.
6. Open both doors to a 90° angle.
7. Open door to a 90 degree angle then lift off the bottom hinge and set aside.
8. Lift doors off bottom hinges and set aside.
9. Unscrew the three bottom hinge screws and remove the hinges on both sides of the cabinet.

To reinstall the refrigerator doors:

1. Replace three bottom hinge screws and hinges on both sides of the cabinet. Ensure screws are tightly snug to hinges on both sides of the cabinet before re-installing doors.
2. Hold the door at a 90°angle and drop the pin down into the center hinge opening. Rotate slightly in either direction until the door falls fully seated onto the hinge.
3. Reinstall top hinges and screws.
4. Insert and feed water line back into the conduit at the top left door hinge until tube re-appears at rear of unit.
5. Reconnect all harnesses.
6. Replace top hinge covers and screws.
7. Replace water line bulkhead cover and then reconnect water line to push-lock connection at rear of unit.
8. Reconnect electrical power cord to the wall outlet.

4. Removing & Replacing Freezer Drawer

Removing Freezer Drawer:

1. Open freezer drawer fully.
2. Remove 4 hex head drawer screws (2 per side) that secure the drawer to the slide assemblies.
3. Lift up drawer to remove.

Replacing Freezer Drawer:

1. Extend the Freezer slides from the unit.
2. Carefully align support pin with hooks on end of freezer slides and then lower freezer door onto slides.
3. Replace the 4 hex head screws that secure the slides to the door (2 on each side) and tighten.

Diagram Description: Shows removing hex head screws securing the drawer to slides and aligning the support pin for reinstallation.

5. Cabinet Leveling & Refrigerator Door Alignment

Guidelines for Final Positioning of refrigerator:

• All four corners of cabinet must rest firmly on floor.
• The front should be slightly elevated (to ensure that doors close and seal properly.)
• Doors should align with each other and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the adjustable front rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers (if necessary):

1. Slightly open freezer drawer to reveal anti-tip legs at bottom of cabinet.
2. Lower anti-tip legs until they are both touching the floor. Use a pair of pliers to adjust. (Turn leg clockwise to raise unit; counter-clockwise to lower unit).
3. Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals touching the cabinet on all four sides and that cabinet is stable.

To make final door height adjustments (if necessary):

1. Open freezer drawer to access hinges for refrigerator doors.
2. Insert 6mm Allen wrench into the shaft of the lower hinge. (Included with unit).
3. To lower door: turn adjustment screw counter-clockwise if looking at the door from below.
4. To raise door: turn adjustment screw clockwise if looking at the door from below.

*Units are shipped with doors in lowest position; initially doors can only be adjusted up.

6. Remove Internal Shipping Materials
