KitchenAid 19 Cu. Ft. Standard-Depth Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator, Architect® Series II 使用和维护

Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household 
use only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 

¹⁄₂" 

(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1" 
(2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has 
an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line 
connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, 
leave 2

¹⁄₂" (6.3 cm) minimum on the hinge side (some models 

require more) to allow for the door to swing open.
NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the 
temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum 
of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for 
optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and 
provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F 
(32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator 
near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

Electrical Requirements

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is 
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

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.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or 
removing a light bulb, turn Cooling OFF. Press both the 
Refrigerator Minus (-) button and the Freezer Minus (-) button until 
the word OFF appears in each display. 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.” 

Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. 
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed 
here.
TOOLS NEEDED:  

■

All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

■

Do not use a piercing-type or 

³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve 

which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

■

Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing 
only in areas where the household temperatures will remain 
above freezing.

■

For models with water filters, the disposable water filter 
should be replaced at least every 6 months. 

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 
120 psi (241 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.
