PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and
suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abondoned
refrigerators or freezers are still
dangerous - even if they will sit
for "just a few days." If you are
getting rid of your old refrigerator
or freezer, please follow the
instructions below to help
prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:
•Remove doors.
•Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb
inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service
technician.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
•The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric outlet.
The power cord ofthe appliance isequipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for yourprotection against
electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The
receptacle must be installed in accordance with local
codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
• Ifthe power cord is damaged, itshould be replaced by the
manufacturer, service technician or a qualified person to
prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by
10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient
power can damage the compressor. Such damage is
not covered under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.
• Avoid connecting refrigerator toa Ground Fault Interruptor
(GFI) circuit. 3

•Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips TM screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
• A water supply line made of 1Ainch (6.4 mm) OD, copper tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed,
you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water
pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).
• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type
shutoff valve.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten.
6. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of
refrigerator as shown.
7. Coil excess water supply line (about 2Y2turns) behind refrigerator as shown
