Electrical: 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) to 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. See “Using the Controls.”
Water: A cold water supply with water
pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 and
827 kPa) is required to operate ice maker
and water dispenser. If you have questions
about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water
coming out of a reverse osmosis system
going to the water inlet valve of the
refrigerator needs to be between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply: 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).

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 1⁄2" (1.25 cm) space on
each side and at the top. Allow at least 1" (2.54 cm) between back of cabinet and the
wall. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra space at
the back for the water line connections.
If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 21⁄2" (6.3 cm)
minimum on the hinge side (depending on your model) 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, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below
55°F (13°C).
