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.

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.

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 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 refrigerator to Off. Depending on your model, turn the refrigerator control to the word Off, or press the refrigerator down arrow touch pad until a dash (−) appears in refrigerator displays. Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the temperature controls to the desired setting. See "Using the Controls" in the Quick Start Guide.

Water Supply Requirements

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ Connect to potable water supply only.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
■ If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn off the ice maker.
■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■ Use copper or PEX tubing and check for leaks. Install copper or PEX tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

TOOLS NEEDED: Flat-blade screwdriver, 7/16" and 1/2" open-end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches, 1/4" nut driver and drill bit, cordless drill. Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed.

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4" 6. (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper or PEX 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.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 psi and 120 psi (207 kPa and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, see "Troubleshooting" online or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

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 psi to 60 psi (276 kPa to 414 kPa). If the ice maker is still not operating properly:

  • 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.

If you have questions about your water pressure, see "Troubleshooting" online or call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT: If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line connected, turn off the ice maker to avoid excessive noise or damage to the water valve.

Connect 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 1/2" to 1/4" (1.27 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.

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.

  1. Determine the length of copper or PEX tubing you will need. Measure from the connection on lower-left rear of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper or PEX tubing. Be sure both ends of copper or PEX tubing are cut square.

  2. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

Frozen Food Storage Guide

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Seal the package or container securely to avoid taste and odor transfer throughout the product. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This is simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 lbs to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot [907 g per L to 1,350 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. The freezer door must close tightly.

NOTE: For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
