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 A 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.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along
its length, or at either the plug or connector end.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn the refrigerator to OFF. Depending
on your model, turn the freezer control to the word OFF, or
press the Freezer down arrow touch pad until a dash (–)
appears in both the Freezer and Refrigerator displays as shown.
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. See
"Using the Controls."

Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

Flat-blade screwdriver
■
7/16"and 1⁄2" Open-end or
■
two adjustable wrenches
IMPORTANT:
Connect to a potable water supply only.
■
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
All installations must meet local plumbing code
■
requirements.
Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve
■
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper
■
tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will
remain above freezing.
For models with water filters, the disposable water filter
■
should be replaced at least every 6 months.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 120
psi (241 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 35 and 120 psi (241 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 to 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, 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.
