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 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, 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.

Wat e r S upp l y Requirem e nt s
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
(12.7 mm) of the rear wall.
3" (7.6 cm)
23 1 / "
2
(60 cm) min.
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 in. (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled 6 in.
(15.2 cm) to 12 in. (30.4 cm) from the right-hand side cabinet
or panel. On the floor, the hole should be no more than 11 in.
(28 cm) away from the back wall. On the wall, the hole should
be no more than 3 in. (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
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a
(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 15 and 100 psi (103 - 690 kPa). If you have questions
about your water pressure, call your utility company.
