Electrical Requirements
WARNING
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.
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its
length or at either the plug or connector end.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC-only 15 A 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.
IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the power
supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality and
flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if
the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of the food.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning,
remove the top grille and turn the master power switch to OFF or
disconnect power at the circuit breaker box. When you are
finished, turn ON the master power switch or reconnect power at
the circuit breaker box. Then reset the control to the desired
setting.
Water Supply Requirements
IMPORTANT:
� All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
� Connect to potable water supply only .
� There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush installation if
a water shutoff valve is located in the wall behind the
refrigerator.
� The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on
either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible
area. The right-hand side is recommended. The access hole
through the cabinet must be within 1/2" (1.3 cm) of the rear
NOTE: If the water shutoff valve is in the back wall behind the
refrigerator, it must be at an angle so that the tube is not kinked
when the refrigerator is pushed into its final location.
� If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the plumbing
for the water line can come through the floor. A 1⁄₂" (12.7 mm)
hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6" (15.2 cm) from
the right-hand or left-hand side cabinet or panel. On the floor,
the hole should be no more than 1" (2.54 cm) away from the
back wall. See “Connect the Water Supply.”
� If additional tubing is needed, use copper tubing and check for
leaks. Install the copper tubing only in areas where the
household temperatures will remain above freezing.
� If additional tubing is needed, use copper tubing and check for
leaks. Install the copper tubing only in areas where the
household temperatures will remain above freezing.
� Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water flow and also clogs more easily.
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4"
(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper
tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 psi and 120
psi (207 kPa and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water
dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water
pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow
of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes
could be hollow or irregular shaped. If you have questions about
your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
