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 V, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 A 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.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or turn the control
(thermostat, refrigerator, or freezer control depending on the
model) to Off. Then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical
source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the
electrical source. Turn cooling on or reset the control (thermostat,
refrigerator, or freezer control depending on the model) to the
desired setting. See "Control Descriptions" in the Quick Start
Guide.

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
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4"
(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper or PEX
tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-
type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve, which reduces water flow
and clogs more easily.
IMPORTANT:
� All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
� Use copper or PEX tubing and check for leaks. Install copper
or PEX tubing only in areas where the household temperatures
will remain above freezing.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120
psi (207 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.
If your refrigerator has a water dispenser: After installation is
complete, use the water dispenser to check the water pressure.
� With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of
water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the
water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum
requirement.
� If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of water, the
water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended.
See online "Troubleshooting" for suggestions.
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 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.
� 1/4" nut driver
� 1/4" drill bit
