Water Pressure
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 finai iocation, it is
important to make sure you have the proper eiectricai
connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 Voit, 60 Hz., AC oniy 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
eiectricai suppiy is required, it is recommended that a separate
circuit serving oniy your refrigerator be provided. Use an outiet
that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an
extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of instaiiation, cieaning, or
removing a iight buib, turn the controi (Thermostat, Refrigerator
or Freezer Controi depending on the modei) OFF and then
disconnect the refrigerator from the eiectricai source. When you
are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the eiectricai source
and reset the controi (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Controi
depending on the modei) to the desired setting. See “Using the
Controi(s).”
Wafer Supply RecfuIrBrnents
Gather the required toois and parts before starting instaiiation.
Read and foiiow the instructions provided with any toois iisted
here.
TOOLS NEEDED:
■ Fiat-biade screwdriver
Vie" (11.11 mm) and V
2
" (12.7 mm)
open-end or two adjustabie
wrenches
V a " (6.35 mm) nut
driver
V a "
(6.35 mm) dhii bit
Cordiess dhii
NOTE: Your refrigerator deaier has a kit avaiiabie with a
V a "
(6.35 mm) saddie-type shutoff vaive, a union, and copper tubing.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddie-type vaive compiies with
your iocai piumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or Yie"
(4.76 mm) saddie vaive which reduces water fiow and ciogs more
easiiy.
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.
A cold water supply with water pressure of 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 to414kPa):
■ 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, 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.
