Maytag MRT118FZEM Manuale Utente

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor household 

use only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for ½" 

(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 a 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on the hinge side (some 

models require more) to allow 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.

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 or cleaning, 

or removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or turn the control 

(Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on 

the model) to 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 or 

reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control 

depending on the model) to the desired setting. See “Using the 

Controls” in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care 

Guide.

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. 

Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed 

here.

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄" 

(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. 

Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with 

your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" 

(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more 

easily.
IMPORTANT:

 

■

All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

 

■

Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing 

only in areas where the household temperatures will remain 

above freezing.
