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 A or 20 A 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 o 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 o 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 nished, 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.
■ If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker o.
■ 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
1/4" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shuto 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 ow and clogs more easily.
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 ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualied plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
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 psi to 60 psi
(276 kPa to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 psi to 60 psi (276 kPa to 414 kPa), a booster pump can be
inserted into the small tubing that goes from the cold water line to
the reverse osmosis system.
If the ice maker is still not operating properly:
■ 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 you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualied plumber.
Connect the Water Supply
(on some models)
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line
is connected, turn the ice maker o to avoid excessive noise or
damage to the water valve.
Connect the Water Line
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn o main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough
to clear line of water.
3. Locate a 1/2" to 1¹⁄4" (1.27 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
■ Horizontal pipe will work. Drill on the top side of the pipe, not
the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and
normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you will need. Measure
from the connection on lower left rear of refrigerator to the
water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4"
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both
ends of copper tubing are cut square.
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.
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
