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 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 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.
Read all directions carefully before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
•
if you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected,
turn the ice maker OFE
•
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 Required: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7/_6 in. and 1/2in. open-
end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches, ¼ in. nut driver and drill
bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4in.
(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 3A6in.
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more
easily.

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,
see "Troubleshooting"
or call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
if a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the 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) a booster pump can be inserted into
the small tubing that goes from the cold water line to the reverse
osmosis system.
If the water dispenser is still not dispensing water properly:
•
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.
•
If your refrigerator has a water filter 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, refer to
"Troubleshooting"
or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Connecting
to Water Line
1.
2,
3.
Unplug refrigerator or disconnect
power.
Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
Locate a 1/2in. to 11/4in. (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical COLD
water pipe near the refrigerator.
NOTE: 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 ff. (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use V4in.
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure
both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
Using a grounded drill, drill a I/4 in. hole in the cold water pipe
you have selected.
