_'_ ,o o_i_ ¸ _ _ _o_' @ 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. 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. Read all directions carefully before you begin. IMPORTANT: • If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFE • 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. Tools required: Standard screwdriver, 7/lein. and _/2in. open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, Y4 in. nut driver and drill bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded). NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a V4in. (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/_ein. (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. Connecting to Water Line 1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power. 2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water. 3. Locate a Y2 in. to 1% in. (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator. NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve. 4. 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 V4in. (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square. 5. Using a grounded drill, drill a V4in. hole in the cold water pipe you have selected. 7 2... 65 1. Cold Water Pipe 2. Pipe Clamp 3.

Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the V4in. drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.
