NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the
temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum
of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for
optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and
provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F
(32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator
near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your refrigerator into its nal location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC only 15 or 20 A fused, grounded electrical
supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only your refrigerator and approved accessories be
provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do
not use an extension cord.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualied person.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along
its length or at either the plug or connector end.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn Cooling OFF, and then disconnect the
refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have nished,
reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn Cooling
ON. See “Using the Control(s).”
Water Supply Requirements
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
TOOLS NEEDED:
■ Flat-blade screwdriver ■ 1/4" Nut driver
■ 7/16" and 1/2" Open-end or
two adjustable wrenches
■ 1/4" Drill bit
■ Cordless drill
IMPORTANT:
■ Connect to potable water supply only.
■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■ Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water ow and clogs more easily.
■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing
only in areas where the household temperatures will remain
above freezing.
■ For models with water lters, the disposable water lter
should be replaced at least every 6 months.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 120
psi (241 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser
and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualied plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of
a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the
refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827
kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water ltration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
■ Check to see whether the sediment lter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.
■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell
after heavy usage.
■ If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce
the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse
osmosis system. Remove the water lter. See “Water Filtration
System.”
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualied plumber

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
