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.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn the refrigerator to OFF. Depending on
your model, turn the refrigerator control to the word OFF, or press
the refrigerator down arrow touch pad until a dash (–) appears in
refrigerator displays as shown. Disconnect the refrigerator from
the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the
refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the temperature
controls to the desired setting. See “Quick Start Guide.”
Location Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from appliance.
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household
use only.
This appliance is intended to be used in a household and similar
applications such as:
� Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments.
� Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other
residential type environments.
� Bed and breakfast type environments.
� Catering and similar non-retail applications.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/2"
(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1"
(2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has
an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line
connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall,
leave 2 1/2" (6.3 cm) minimum on the hinge side (some models
require more) to allow for 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.
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
� 7/16" and 1/2" Open-end or two
adjustable wrenches
� 1/4" Nut driver
� 1/4" Drill bit
� Cordless drill
IMPORTANT:
� Connect to a 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.
� 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 flow 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 filters, the disposable water filter should
be replaced at least every 6 months.
