•
Install a shut off valve between the refrigerator and water
supply. Use 1/4" copper tubing with a compression nut and
compression sleeve and check for leaks. Allow a minimum of
24" (61.0 cm) diameter service loop of copper tubing outside
the wall or floor for easy connection to the water supply.
Install copper tubing only in areas where the household
temperatures will remain above freezing.
•
Do not use a piercing type or 3/16" (5 mm) saddle valve
which will reduce water flow and clog more easily.
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 the use and
care manual.
IMPORTANT: Read all directions before you begin.
Unpack the Refrigerator
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
IMPORTANT:
•
Do not remove the film on the outside until the refrigerator is
in its operating position.
•
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
Installation Specifications
Installation Instructions
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-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.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator
or Freezer 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 control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control
depending on the model) to the desired setting. See Setting the
Controls in the use and care manual.
•
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For
more information, see Refrigerator Safety.
•
Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
•
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the
inside of your refrigerator before using it. See Care and
Cleaning in the use and care manual.
