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 control (Thermostat, Refrigerator 
or Freezer Control depending on the model) OFF and then 
disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you 
are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source 
and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control 
depending on the model) to the desired setting.
Water Supply Requirements
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is 
connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
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.
TOOLS NEEDED: Gather the required tools and parts before 
starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided 
with any tools listed here. Flat-blade screwdriver, 
⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" 
open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, 
¹⁄₄" nut driver 
and drill bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).
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.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 
100 psi (241 and 689 kPa) is required to operate the water 
dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water 
pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a 
reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the 
refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 100 psi 
(241 and 689 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your 
cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis 
system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse 
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill 
after heavy usage.
If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the 
water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse 
osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See “Water 
Filtration System.”
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, 
qualified plumber.
Connect the Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line 
is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
Connect to Water Line
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long 
enough to clear line of water.
3. Find a 
¹⁄₂" to 1¹⁄₄" (12.7 mm to 3.18 mm) vertical cold water 
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure it is a cold water pipe. 
Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure 
must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the 
bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This 
also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure 
from the connection on the lower right rear of refrigerator to 
the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 
¹⁄₄" 
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure 
both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, 
fire, or electrical shock.
