Electrical: 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 be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not
use an extension cord.

A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be placed within 4" (10.2 cm) of the right
side cabinets or end panel.

Water Supply: 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.

IMPORTANT: If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold
water supply, the water pressure coming out of the reverse osmosis system going to
the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and
827 kPa).

The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on either side of the
refrigerator or some other easily accessible area. If the water shutoff valve is not in the
cabinets, the plumbing for the water line can come through the floor or the back wall.

Location: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source,
or in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C). Floor must
support the refrigerator weight, more that 600 lbs (272 kg), door panels and
contents of the refrigerator. 

To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 1" (2.5 cm) maximum
above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one isnot
available, then the refrigerator must be braced. 
If the anti-tip boards are needed, they must be attached to the rear wall studs 80" to
90" (203 cm to 229 cm) above the floor. See “Install Anti-Tip Boards” for more
information.
NOTE: A clearance of 

1

2

" (1.3 cm) above the top grille must be maintained in order

for the top grille to be removed.
