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.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded

electrical supply is _quired. It is recommended that a separate

oi_uit serving only your _frigerator 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 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

reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control

depending on the model) to the desired setting.

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed

here.

IMPORTANT:

• If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is

connected, turn the ice maker OFR

• 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, 7A_,,and V," open-end

wrenches or two edjustable wrenches, %" nut driver and drill bit,

hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a _/4"

(6.35 ram) 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 3/18"

(4.76 ram) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more

easily.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and

120 psi (207 - 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser

and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure,

call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a

reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the

refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 - 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your

cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis

system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa):

• Check to see whether the sediment filter inthe reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill

after heavy usage.

• g your refrigerator has a water filtar cartridge, it may further

reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a

reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge.

See "Water Filtration System."

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,

qualified plumber.

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is

connected, turn the ice maker OFR

Connect to Water Line

f. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

3. Locate a _62"to 1V4"(1.25 cm to 3.18 ore) vertical cold water

pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

• Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

• Horizontal pipe will work, but 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. Datermine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure

from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the

water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use _/4"

(6.35 ram) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both

ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5. Using a grounded drill, drill a _/4"hole in the cold water pipe

you have selected.
