Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household
use only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, it is
recommended to allow a 1/2" (1.25 cm) space on each side.
Allow 1½" (3.81 cm) of space between overhead cabinets and
refrigerator top. Allow at least 1" (2.54 cm) between back of
cabinet and the wall (consider the condenser as back in case
is present). If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you
leave extra space at the back for the water line connections.
If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave
enough space on the hinge side to allow the door to swing open.
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 final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15A or 20A fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet
that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension
cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or turn the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the
model) to OFF, and then disconnect the refrigerator from the
electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the
refrigerator to the electrical source, and turn cooling on or reset
the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control,
depending on the model) to the desired setting. See “Using the
Controls” in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care
Guide.
Water Supply Requirements
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■ Connect to potable water supply only.
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.
■ 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. Install copper tubing
only in areas where the household temperatures will remain
above freezing.
TOOLS NEEDED: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7/16" and 1/2"
open-end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches, 1/4" nut driver
and drill bit, cordless drill. Gather the required tools and parts
before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions
provided with any tools listed.
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a
½" (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. Do not use a
piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces
water flow and clogs more easily.
