Openings The built-in refrigerator can be installed into a recessed opening in the cabinets, or at the end of cabinets using a side panel to enclose the refrigerator side. The installation requires a 1/2″ (12.7 mm) clearance to remove the top grille and for proper air flow. Wall studs must be located on the rear wall 80″ to 90″ (203 - 229 cm) above the floor. 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 to prevent tipping during use. See “Anti-Tip Boards” o ...

IMPORTANT: • If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker off. • All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements. • Use copper tubing and check for leaks. In- stall copper tubing only in areas where tem- peratures will remain above freezing. A kit is available with a 1/4″ (6.35 mm) saddle- type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing the kit, make sure that a saddle-type valve complies with local plumb- ing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or a 3/16″ (4.76 mm) saddle valve because they reduce water flow and clog easily. Connect the ice m ...

All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator. Rollers are for moving the refrig- erator, and not for permanent support. Use a socket wrench to turn the leg levelers on both sides of the refrigerator to the right (clock- wise) until the refrigerator weight is supported by the legs. The rollers should be off the floor. To avoid cabinet damage, do not apply more than 50 in/lbs (58 cm/kg) of torque to the leveling legs. 1 2 1. Rear leveling legs 2.

OVERVIEW The KitchenAid Built-In Refrigerator Constant Flow Temperature Management System uses two thermistors to monitor temperature changes inside the refrigerator and freezer compart- ments. The electronic control manages the operation of the variable capacity compressor (VCC), a variable speed evaporator fan motor, and a variable position air door. The air door allows independent temperature control of the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The electronic control seeks the most efficient means possible to maintain temperatures as it controls the operation and speed of the com- pressor and the evaporator fan motor. Highe ...

Temperature Decreasing When the freezer temperature begins to de- crease, the process will reverse. The compres- sor speed decreases, followed by the evapo- rator fan speed. Refrigerator Temperature Control — Temperature Increasing When the refrigerator calls for cooling while the freezer is satisfied, the air door begins to open, and the evaporator fan starts to run at minimum speed. If the temperature continues to rise, the air door will continue to open. If the temperature continues to rise after the air door is fully open, the evaporator fan speed will gradually increase to a maximum of 3000 rpm. If the tempera ...
