Location Requirements
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 
¹⁄₂" 
(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for a 1" 
(2.54 cm) 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 a 3
³⁄₄" (9.5 cm) minimum space between the refrigerator 
and wall to allow the door to swing open.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator 
near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install the 
refrigerator in a location where the temperature will fall below 
55°F (13°C).
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 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, and then disconnect the 
refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, 
reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn 
Cooling ON. 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:  
IMPORTANT:
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.
