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. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end. 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 and approved accessories 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 the food. NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, 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. Water Supply Requirements IMPORTANT: � All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements. � Connect to potable water supply only . � There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush installation if a water shutoff valve is located in the wall behind the refrigerator. � 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 cabinet must be within 1/2" (1.3 cm) of the rear NOTE: If the water shutoff valve is in the back wall behind the refrigerator, it must be at an angle so that the tube is not kinked when the refrigerator is pushed into its final location. � If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the plumbing for the water line can come through the floor. A 1⁄₂" (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6" (15.2 cm) from the right-hand or left-hand side cabinet or panel. On the floor, the hole should be no more than 1" (2.54 cm) away from the back wall. See "Connect the Water Supply." � 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. � 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 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and also clogs more easily. 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. Water Pressure A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 psi and 120 psi (207 kPa 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. NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber. 10
