Installation Instructions - KitchenAid KSCS25FKWH02 Installation Instructions Manual

Electrica{ 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 foltow 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 ampere 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, 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.
IMPORTANT:
• If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
• Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing
only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4in.
(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. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16in.
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more
easily.
Cold Water Supply
Connect the ice maker to a cold water line with water pressure
between 30 and 120 psi. If you have questions about your water
pressure, call your utility company.
INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
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:
• All 4 leveling legs must contact the floor to support and
stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.
• Keep cardboard shipping piece or plywood under refrigerator
until it is installed in the operating position.
1. Remove and save literature package. Use % in. socket
wrench to remove skids.
2. 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.
NOTES:
• 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 the Use and Care
Guide.
Do not remove the tech sheet that is fastened behind the
base grille.
Clean before use: After you remove all of the packing
materials, clean the inside of the refrigerator before use.
See the cleaning instructions in the "Refrigerator Care"
section of the Use and Care Guide.
3. Place pieces of shipping carton or plywood on the floor when
rolling the dolly and refrigerator into the house. Move
refrigerator close to refrigerator opening.
TOOLS REQUIRED: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7/_6in. and 1/2in.
open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, 1/4in. drill bit,
hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).
1. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
2. Find a 1/2in. (12.70 ram) to 11/4in. (3.18 cm) vertical COLD
water pipe near the refrigerator.
NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure
must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the
bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This
also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
3.
Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the
water pipe. Add 7 ft. (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4in.
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure
both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
