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 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 Cooling OFF, and then disconnect
the refrigerator
from the electrical
source. When you have
finished, reconnect the refrigerator
to the electrical
source and
turn Cooling ON. See "Using the Control(s)."
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 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 and
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 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
•
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.
The tank
capacity
could
be too low to
keep
up with the requirements
of the refrigerator.
If your
refrigerator
has a water
filter,
it may further
reduce
the water
pressure
when used in conjunction
with
a reverse
osmosis
system.
Remove
the water
filter.
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 OFF.
Tools Needed;
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
•
Flat-blade
screwdriver
•
1/4" nut driver
•
7/16"and 1/2" open-end or two
•
1/4" drill bit
adjustable
wrenches
•
Cordless drill
NOTE: Your refrigerator
dealer has a kit available
with a 1/4"
(6.35 mm) 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 3/16"(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow
and clogs more easily.
Connect to Water
Line
Style 1
1. 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 Y2" to 11/4 '' (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
4°
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.
Determine 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
Y4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter)
copper tubing. Be
sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
