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.

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 right-hand side is recommended. The access hole through the right-hand side cabinet must be within ¹⁄₂"

(12.7 mm) of the rear wall.

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.

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.

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 right-hand side cabinet or panel. On the floor, the hole should be no more than 11"

(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 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 piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄" (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.

Cold Water Supply

Connect the ice maker to a cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa). If you have questions about your water pressure, call your utility company.
