10Electrical RequirementsBefore you move your refrigerator into its final location, it isimportant to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.Recommended Grounding MethodA 115 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, groundedelectrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separatecircuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outletthat cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use anextension cord.IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground FaultCircuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of thepower supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food qualityand flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, andif the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it.NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, orremoving a light bulb, remove the top grille and turn the masterpower switch to OFF or disconnect power at the circuit breakerbox.When you are finished, turn ON the master power switch orreconnect power at the circuit breaker box. Then reset the controlto the desired setting.Water Supply Requirements■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.■ The water supply line must come up through the floor in thegray shaded area shown.■ The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet oneither side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessiblearea. The right-hand side is recommended.NOTE: There is not enough clearance to achieve a flushinstallation if a water shutoff valve is located in the wall behindthe refrigerator.■ A ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6"(15.2 cm) from the right or left hand side cabinet or panel. Onthe floor, the hole should be no more than 1" (2.54 cm) awayfrom the back wall. See “Connect the Water Supply.”■ If additional tubing is needed, use copper tubing and checkfor leaks. Install the copper tubing only in areas where thehousehold temperatures will remain above freezing.■ Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valvewhich reduces water flow and 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 coppertubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valvecomplies with your local plumbing codes.Water PressureA cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi(207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser andice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call alicensed, qualified plumber.Reverse Osmosis Water SupplyIMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of areverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of therefrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi(207 and 827 kPa).If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to yourcold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosissystem 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 than40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):■ Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverseosmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refillafter heavy usage.■ If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce thewater pressure when used in conjunction with a reverseosmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge.If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,qualified plumber.Electrical Shock HazardPlug 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.WARNING1"(2.54 cm) 6"(15.2 cm)6"(15.2 cm)6"(15.2 cm)
