Electrical Requirements

WARNING

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 Thermostat Control (or Refrigerator 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 Thermostat Control (or Refrigerator Control) to the desired setting.

Connecting the Refrigerator

to a Water Source

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to prevent operation without water.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

Use copper tubing and check for leaks.

Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin producing ice.

Tools required:

Standard screwdriver

⁷⁄₁₆-inch and ¹⁄₂-inch open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

¹⁄₄-inch nut driver

¹⁄₄-inch drill bit

Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄-inch saddle-type shut-off 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-inch saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Cold Water Supply

The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your utility company.

Connecting to water line:

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2.Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
