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.

IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance

tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of

cooling. Food quality and flavor may be affected. If nuisance

tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the food appears

poor, dispose of it.

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.

Removing the Door Handles

(on some models)

Apply firm pressure with hand on face of trim. Slide top trim up

and bottom trim down away from handle, then lift off of shoulder

screws. Remove handle screws.

Water System Preparation

(on some models)

Please read before using the water system.

Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make

sure that the water system is properly cleaned.

1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker by lifting up

the wire shutoff arm as shown.

NOTES:

■ If your model has a base grille filter system, make sure the

base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the

horizontal position.

■ Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or

of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before

or after the system.

2. Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar

until the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by

dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water.

Cleaning the system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes

and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be

required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out

of the dispenser.

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.
