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 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere 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, cleaning,
or removing a light bulb, turn the Thermostat Control (or
Refrigerator 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 reset the Thermostat Control (or
Refrigerator Control) to the desired setting.
Connecting the Refrigerator
to a Water Source
Read all directions carefully before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
If operating the refrigerator before installing the water
connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to
prevent operation without water.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures
will remain above freezing.
It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin
producing ice.
Tools required:
Standard screwdriver
⁷⁄₁₆-inch and ¹⁄₂-inch open-end wrenches or two
adjustable wrenches
¹⁄₄-inch nut driver
¹⁄₄-inch drill bit
Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄-
inch saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper tub-
ing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a
piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆-inch saddle valve which reduces water
flow and clogs more easily.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not remove ground prong.
