ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong from the power
cord plug.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to do so can result in death, re 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 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, disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical
source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the
electrical source and reset the temperature controls to the desired
setting.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.
IMPORTANT:
•
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.
•
The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6
months.
CONNECT THE WATER SUPPLY
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
•
Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International
Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.
•
The blue water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which
is used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX
(cross-linked polyethylene) tube. Copper and PEX tubing
connections from the household water line to the refrigerator
are acceptable, and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice
or water.
•
If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is connected,
turn off the ice maker to avoid excessive noise or damage to
the water valve. See the "Ice Bin" section, later in the manual for
power On/Off instructions.
•
Turn off the water supply to the refrigerator before removing or
replacing the water filter or locking cap.
CONNECT TO REFRIGERATOR
Water Supply Kit (parts available from local service agents)
1. Connect the water line to the blue water tubing on the back of
the refrigerator.
•
If you are using copper tubing (not provided), first slip the
compression nut (not provided) and ferrule (not provided)
onto the copper tubing.
•
If you are using plastic tubing (not provided), first insert
the molded end of the plastic tubing into the compression
fitting.
2. Tighten the compression nut onto the compression fitting.
3. Turn on the water to check for leaks. Fix any leaks.
