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
IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality and flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, remove the top grille and turn the master power switch to OFF or disconnect power at the circuit breaker box.
When you are finished, turn ON the master power switch or reconnect power at the circuit breaker box. Then reset the control to the desired setting.
Water Supply Requirements
■All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible area. The

■If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the plumbing for the water line can come through the floor or the back wall. A ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled 6"
(15.2 cm) to 12" (30.4 cm) from the
(28 cm) away from the back wall. On the wall, the hole should be no more than 3" (7.6 cm) up from the floor. See “Connect the Water Supply.”
If this recommended water line location is used, no additional plumbing must be purchased.
■If additional tubing is needed, use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install the copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.
■Do not use a

Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure 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, 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 - 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 - 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 - 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.
■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.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
