Electrical Requirements
Before you move your freezer 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, 15 or 20 A fused, grounded electrical
supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only your freezer 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, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, press and hold TEMP SETTING for
3 seconds to turn off cooling, and then disconnect the freezer
from the electrical source.
Ice Maker Kit
Ice Maker kit ECKMF95 can be added to some models.
NOTE:
■ Please follow the installation instructions supplied in the
ice maker kit.
■ Connect to potable water only.
Water Supply Requirements
(on some models)
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
■ 7/16" and 1/2" open-end
or 2 adjustable wrenches
■ 1/4" nut driver
■ 1/4" drill bit
■ Cordless drill
NOTE: Your freezer dealer has a kit available with a
1/4" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and plastic
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.
IMPORTANT:
■ Connect to potable water supply only.
■ If you turn the freezer on before the water line is connected,
turn the ice maker off.
■ All installations must meet local plumbing code
requirements.
■ Use plastic tubing and check for leaks. Install plastic tubing
only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between
30 and 120 psi (207 to 827 kPa) is required to operate the water
dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water
pressure, see “Troubleshooting” or call a licensed, qualified
plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the 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), a booster pump can be inserted
into the small tubing that goes from the cold water line to the
reverse osmosis system.
If the water dispenser is still not dispensing water properly:
■ Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill
after heavy usage.
■ If your freezer has a water filter, it may further reduce the
water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse
osmosis system. Remove the water filter.
If you have questions about your water pressure, refer to
“Troubleshooting” or call a licensed, qualified 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.
