WARNING
!
T o avoid electrical shock which can cause severe
personal injury or death, do not, under any
circumstances cut or remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. Refrigerator must
be grounded at all times. Do not remove warning
tag from power cord. Do not use a two-prong
adapter. Do not use an extension cord.
This refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for protection against possible shock
hazards. If a two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, contact a qualified electrician and have
the two-prong wall receptacle replaced. Refrigerator
must be earthed and connected to a separate 240
volt, 50 hz., 10A circuit.
Locate product information on the nameplate, found in
upper left corner of refrigerator section. Record the
following information:
Model Number
Manufacturing Number
Serial or S/N Number
Date of purchase
Dealer’s name and address
Keep a copy of sales receipt for future reference.
Installation Information
A qualified engineer must connect refrigerator in
accordance with these installation instructions. Measure
door opening and depth and width of refrigerator.
Remove handles or doors as required. Engineer must
follow local electrical regulations.
Space Requirements
WARNING
!
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can
result in death, explosion, fire, or burns.
• To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow
a 1" (2.5 cm) space at the top of refrigerator.
• If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you
allow extra space at the back for the water line
connection. The refrigerator can be flush with the back
wall if you do not have an ice maker installed.
• If you are installing refrigerator next to a fixed wall,
leave 21/2" (6.5 cm) minimum on each side (depending
on model) to allow the door to swing open 90°.
NOTE: 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).

CAUTION
!
1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port.
Observe the following to avoid property damage:
• Confirm water pressure to water valve is between 20
and 100 pounds per square inch.
• Copper supply tubing must be routed where the
temperature is 55°F (13°C) or higher to prevent
freeze-ups.
• Start adaptor fitting and nuts by hand to avoid cross
threading. Tighten adaptor fitting and nuts with
pliers and wrenches. Do not overtighten.
• Check for water leaks and correct if necessary
before returning refrigerator to normal location, and
24 hours after connecting.
Important
• Before connecting water supply , contact a plumber to
connect copper tubing to household plumbing in
compliance with local codes and ordinances.
• DO NOT use self-piercing type or 3/16" saddle valves!
Both reduce water flow, develop sediment build-up
more rapidly , and may cause leaks if repair is
attempted. The correct type of shut-off valve requires
a 1/4" hole to be drilled on top or side (not bottom of
horizontal pipe) of water supply pipe prior to valve
attachment.
Materials Required
1
/4" O.D. (6 mm) flexible copper tubing. Length of copper
tubing must reach from water supply connection to water
valve inlet port on back of refrigerator plus an additional
8 ft. (2.5 m) of tubing for a service loop. A service loop
will allow refrigerator to be pulled away from the wall
without disconnecting tubing.

2. Place brass nut and brass sleeve on copper tubing.
(Brass nut and sleeve are found in literature packet.)
Insert copper tubing into water valve inlet port.
Connect brass nut on copper tubing to water valve
inlet port. Start connection by hand then use a 1/2"
(13 mm) open end wrench. Make sure copper tubing
is secure by pulling on copper tubing.
