Location Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep ammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or re.
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor household
use only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, it is
recommended to allow a 1/2" (1.25 cm) space on each side.
Allow 1½" (3.81 cm) of space between overhead cabinets and
refrigerator top. Allow at least 1" (2.54 cm) between back of
cabinet and the wall (consider the condenser as back in case is
present). If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at
the back for the water line connections.
If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave
enough space on the hinge side to allow the door to swing open.
Level the refrigerator. See "Adjust the Doors" part of this manual.
NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the
temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum
of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for
optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and
provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F
(32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator
near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

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.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning,
or removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or 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 turn cooling on or
reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator, or Freezer control,
depending on the model) to the desired setting. See "Using the
Controls" in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care
Guide.

TOOLS NEEDED: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7/16" and 1/2" open-
end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches, 1/4" nut driver and drill
bit, cordless drill. Gather the required tools and parts before
starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided
with any tools listed.
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4"
(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 3/16"
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more
easily.
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.
Water Supply Requirements
Connect to 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.
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 the household temperatures will remain
above freezing.
