SAFETYPRECAUflONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
NThis reDigerator must be properly installed
and located in accordance with tile Ins 'tallation
Instructions before it is used. Also see the
How ToConnect Electricity section.
/;;;Do not attempt to stand on top of the refrigerator:
Doing so may result in bodily injury or damage
to the refrigerator.
g_Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refl'igeraton They could
damage tile refl'igerator and seriously injure
themselves.
NDo not allow children to play with the refrigerator
or tamper with the controls.
g_Do not touch tile cold surfaces in tile fl'eezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
@Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the xdcinity of this or any
other appliance.
g_Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" areas;
clearances between tile doors and between
tile doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be careful closing doors when children are
in the area.
NIn refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid
contact with tile moving parts of tile ejector
mechanism, or with tile heating element that
releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands
on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the
refrigerator is plugged in.
g_Unplug the refl'igerator before cleaning and
making repairs.

_Do not refl'eeze fl'ozen toods which have thawed
completely.
A DANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT
PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past..Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous...even if they will sit tot '_ust a few
days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator;
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before You Throw Away YourOld Refrigerator
or Freezer:
5;;;_Pake off the doors and discard separately.
%Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
% If the refl'igerator has a lock make it unusable.
USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of
an extension cord.
Howevm; if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding
2
type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 190 volts.
Refrigerants
_MIrefrigeration products contain refrigerants, which
under federal lawmust be removed prior to product
disposal. Kyou are getting rid of an old refrigeration
product, check with the company handling tile disposal
about what to do.
A WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped Mth
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard g-prong (grounding) wall outlet m
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where an ungrounded ,a-all outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should
al,a-ays be plugged into
its own individual
electrical outlet. This
provides the best
performance and also
prevents overloading
house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from overheated
wires. Please refer to the rating plate on the
refrigerator fbr the correct voltage, wattage and
frequency. If the product plug does not fit your
outlet, the product should be fitted with a new plug.
IMPORTANT:Therefitting of electricplugsandcablesshould
bedonebya quafifiedtechnicianor serviceagent.Insome
countriestherefittingofelectricplugsandcablesis only
permittedwhentheworkis completedbya qualified
technician.
If the power supply cord becomes damaged, it must
be replaced by a qualified service agent in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Al,a-ays grip plug firmly and pull straight
out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator a,a-ayfrom the wall,
be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
Mains Lead Replacement
If the mains lead on your refrigerator needs
replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a
special lead which is obtainable from your local
dealen A charge will be made for the replacement
of the mains lead if you have damaged the lead.
USEOFADAPTERPLUGS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of
an adapter plug.
Howevm; if you must use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a temporary¢omlection may be made
to a properly grounded 2-prong wall oudet by use
of a UL-listed adapter available at most local
hardv,-are stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adaptm; always hold the adapter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOTUSE
the refrigerator until a proper ground has been
established.

If the refrigerator has an icemakm; it Mll have to be
connected to a cold drinking water line. A water supply
kit (containing copper tubing, shutoffvalve, fittings
and instructions) is available at extra cost from your
dealm: Installation of the icemaker must be done by
a qualified service technician.
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature
will go below 60°F (16°C) because it will not run often
enough tu maintain proper temperatures.
• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it Ihlly
loaded.
CLEARANCES
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical
connections.
• Sides 3/4" (19 mm)
• Top 1" (25 mm)
• Back 1" (25 mm)

Installation Instructions
Kll INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This w-ater line installation is not w-arranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive
water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house
plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and
lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified
plumber to correct,a-ater hammer before installing
the water supply line to the refrigeratoE
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook
up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the
water line, make sure tile icemaker power switch is
in the OFF position (on power switch models) or
the feeler arm is in the STOP (up) position
(on feeler arm models).
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below fi'eezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power
drill) during installation, be sure tile device is
insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard
of electric shock.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
Installation of the icemaker must be done by a
qualified service technician.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED (CONT.)
• Power drill.
• Copper tubing, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the
refrigerator to the w-ater supply. Be sure both ends of
the tubing are cut square.
Do not use plastic tubing or plastic fittings because
the water supply line is under pressure at all times.
Certain types of plastic tubing may become brittle
with age and crack, resulting in w-ater leakage.
• Two l/4 " outer diameter compression nuts and
2 ferrules (sleeves)--to connect the copper
tubing to the shutoffvalve and the refrigerator
water valve.
WARNING! Connect to potable
water supply only.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
To determine how much copper tubing you need:
Measure the distance from the water valve on the back
of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then add
8 feet (244 cm). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing
[about 8 leer (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about
10" (25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to
move out from the wall after installation.
• A water supply kit (containing copper tubing, shutoff
valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra cost
from your local distributor:
• A cold drinking water supply. The water pressure must
be between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.4-8.1 bar).
12
• If your existing water line has a flared fitting at the
end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing
supply stores) to connect the water line to the
refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting
with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.
• Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.
The shutoffvalve should have a ,a_ater inlet Mth a
minimum inside diameter of 5/32" at the point of
connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-vype
shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes.
Installation Instructions
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used
drinking water line.
[] SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER
SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear
the line of water.
[] FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

[] CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for the valve that is easily
accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a
vertical ,a-ater pipe. When it is necessary m connect
into a horizontal ,a-ater pipe, make the connection
to the top or side, rather than at the bottom,
to avoid drawing offany sediment from tile
,a-ater pipe.
[] DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
