Location Requirements
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 
¹⁄₂" 
(1.25 cm) space at the top and 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: 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 the refrigerator to OFF. Depending on 
your model, turn the freezer control to the word OFF, or press the 
Freezer down arrow or minus sign touch pad until a dash (–) 
appears in both the Freezer and Refrigerator displays as shown. 
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:  
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. 
WARNING
