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.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 volt, 60 Hz, AC only 15- or 20-amp 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.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn Cooling OFF, and then disconnect
the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have
finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and
turn Cooling ON. See "Using the Control(s)."

Water Supply Requirements

A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and
120 psi (207 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.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a
reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the
refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and
827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill
after heavy usage. The tank capacity could be too low to
keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
Tools Needed:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
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.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
3. Locate a ½" to 1 ¹⁄₄ " (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce
the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse
osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See "Water
Filtration System."

Connect the Water Supply

If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is
connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

IMPORTANT:
Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
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.
