ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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 serv-
ing
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 instal-
lation,
cleaning, or removing a light bulb,
turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or
Freezer Control depending on the model)
OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator
from the electrical source. When you are fin-
ished,
reconnect the refrigerator to the electri-
cal
source and reset the control (Thermostat,
Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on
the model) to the desired setting.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
If you turn the refrigerator on before the
water line is connected, turn the ice maker
OFF.
All installations must meet local plumbing
code requirements.
Use
copper tubing and check for leaks. In-
stall
copper tubing only in areas where the
household temperatures will remain above
freezing.
T
OOLS NEEDED: Gather the required tools
and parts before starting installation. Read
and follow the instructions provided with any
tools listed below:
Flat-blade screwdriver
7/16˝ & 1/2˝ open-end wrenches, or two
adjustable wrenches
1/4˝ nut driver
Hand
drill or electric drill (properly ground-
ed)
1/4˝ drill bit
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit avail-
able with a 1/4˝ (6.35
mm) saddle-type shut-
off valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before
purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with local plumbing codes. Do not
use a piercing-type or 3/16˝(4.76 mm) sad-
dle
valve which reduces water flow and clogs
more easily.
