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 of the appliance is equipped with a

three-prong grounding plug for yourprotectionagainst
electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly
intoa properlygrounded 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.

• Immediately repair or replace any power cord that
becomes frayed or damaged.

• Never unplugthe refrigerator by pullingon the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out

from the receptacle topreventdamagingthe power cord.

• Unplugthe 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 pullcordto prevent the refrigerator from being

turned offaccidentally.

• Avoid connecting refrigerator toa Ground Fault

Interruptor (G FI) circuit.

This Use & Care Manual provides specific operating
instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as
instructed in this Use & Care Manual. Before starting the
refrigerator, follow these important first steps.

LOCATION

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.
Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

• If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight

and away from the range, dishwasher or other heat
sources.

• The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level

and strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.

• Consider water supply availability for models equipped

with an automatic ice maker.

INSTALLATION

• Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature

will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C).
The compressor will not be able to maintain proper

temperatures inside the refrigerator.

proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections:

Sides & Top 3/8"

Back 1"

All four corners of your refrigerator must rest firmly on a
solid floor. Your refrigerator is equipped with adjustable front

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need

• 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 ¼ inch (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.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve

1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.

2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply
and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shut

off valve.

3. Unscrew plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.

4. Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line,
as shown.

5. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch).
Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut
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 2½ turns) behind refrigerator as shown
and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.

8. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that
leak.

9. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.

10. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (see ice maker front cover for ON/
OFF position of arm).
