Recommended grounding
met hod
DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE
POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUNDING
PRONG.
For your personal safety, this
appliance must be grounded. This
appliance is equipped with a power
supply cord having a 3-prong
grounding plug. To minimize
possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating
3-prong, grounding-type wall
receptacle, grounded in accordance
withliocai codes and ordinances.
See Figure 1. If a mating wall
receptacle is not available, it is the
personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have a
properly grounded, 3-prong wall
receptacle installed by a qualified
electrician.
Water supply
requirements
Use only 114" (6 mm) copper
tublng for water Ilne.
The water line to the refrigerator
must provide 15-100 psi (103.5 -
690 kPa) water pressure.
The preferred method of installing
the plumbing to the refrigerator is
through the wall. An optional
method is installing the water line
through a floor opening. If the
copper tubing is installed through
the floor, the hole cut in the floor
must be angled 45O toward the front.
You will need enough
l/4" (6 mm) -
copper tubing to connect from water
line to refrigerator, a saddle-type
valve and a union. Rough in the
water line before installing the
refrigerator. See steps that follow.
Product/Properly
Damage Hazard
Do Not Install copper tublng
In an area where temperatures
drop below freezlng.
To do so may result In water
damage.
1
.Find a 3/8" (9 mm) to 1" (25 mm)
vertical cold water line near the
refrigerator. Measure the
distance from the cold water line
to the refrigerator location. Add
24 inches (610 mm) for the final
length of copper
tubing you will
need. Cut both
ends of copper
tubing square.
2.Tum off
main water
supply and
clear water
line.
Electric Shock Hazard.
Eiectrlc drill must be grounded
to prevent severe or lethal
shock If water is in line and
enters drill during use.
Fallure to ground drill may
result In personal Injury.
3.
Ground electric drill or use a hand
drill. Drill a 3/16" (5 mm) hole in
vertical cold water line. Attach a
saddle valve to the water line with
a clamp in an easily accessible
location. Insert a washer
between clamp and line. Check
that inlet end is solidly in the drill
hole. lighten packing nut.
Tighten the pipe clamp screws
evenly so washer makes a
watertight connection. Do Not
overtighten or copper tubing
could be crushed.
4. Slide compression nut and sleeve
on copper tubing. insert end of
copper tubing completely into
the outlet valve. Tighten
compression nut to outlet with an
adjustable wrench. Do Not
overtighten. Turn on main water
supply and flush copper tubing.
Turn the new water line valve to
the "OFF" position.
5. Route copper tubing to the
refrigerator location.
6.
Slide
compression
nut and sleeve
over water line.
7.
Connect union
to compression
nut and sleeve.
Tighten with
adjustable wrench.
Do Not
over-lighten.
