■ If you are connecting the water line directly to copper tubing

and not to a shutoff valve, you need a ferrule, a union, and a
¹⁄₄" compression fitting.

■ It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near

an oven, radiator, or other heat source.

■ Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall

below 55°F (13°C).

■ Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than 600 lbs

(272 kg), door panels and contents of the refrigerator.

■ Ceiling height must allow for side tipping radius. See “Tipping

Radius.”

■ Location should permit door to open fully. See “Door Swing

Dimensions.”

■ Location must permit top grille removal. See “Opening

Dimensions.”

Opening Dimensions

■ To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within

1" (2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit
is higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the
refrigerator must be braced.

If anti-tip boards are needed, they must be installed to the
rear wall studs so that the bottom of the anti-tip board is
84" (213.4 cm) from the floor. See “Install Anti-Tip Boards”
for more information.

NOTES:

■ A clearance of ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) must be maintained above

the top grille in order for the top grille to be removed.

■ Do not remove the foam gasket on top of the compressor

cover unless removal is necessary to fit the unit under a
soffit. Removal of the gasket will cause loss in cooling
efficiency.

■ If installing under a solid soffit, after, installation raise the

leveling legs so that the gasket is pressed snugly against
the soffit.

Location Requirements

The refrigerator can be recessed in an opening between cabinets
or installed at the end of a cabinet run using a side panel to
enclose the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

■ Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

NOTE: Flooring under refrigerator must be at same level as the

Electrical Requirements

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

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.

IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the
power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality
and flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred,
and if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning,
remove the top grille and turn the master power switch to OFF
or disconnect power at the circuit breaker box.

When you are finished, turn ON the master power switch or
reconnect power at the circuit breaker box. Then reset the control
to the desired setting.

Water Supply Requirements

■

All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

■

The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on
either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible
area. The right-hand side is recommended. The access hole
through the cabinet must be within

NOTE: If the water shutoff valve is in the back wall behind the
refrigerator, it must be at an angle so that the tube is not
kinked when the refrigerator is pushed into its final location.

for the water line can come through the floor. A ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm)
hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6" (15.2 cm) from
the right-hand or left-hand side cabinet or panel. On the floor,
the hole should be no more than 1" (2.54 cm) away from the
back wall. See “Connect the Water Supply.”

■ If additional tubing is needed, use copper tubing and check

for leaks. Install the copper tubing only in areas where the
household temperatures will remain above freezing.

■ Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve

which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper
tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi
(207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and
ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply 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).

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).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

■ Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill

after heavy usage.

■ If your refrigerator has a water filter cartridge, it may further

reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a
reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.

■ The depth from the front of the top grille to the back of the

■ The power cord is 84" (213 cm) long.

Tipping Radius

Be sure there is adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator
upright when it is moved into place.

■ The dolly wheel height must be added to the tipping radius

when a dolly is used.

■ If needed, the tipping radius can be reduced. See “Reduce

Tipping Radius.”

The location must permit the door to open to a minimum of 90°.
Allow 5" (12.7 cm) minimum space between the side of the
refrigerator and a corner wall.

NOTE: The required thickness for all panels is ³⁄₄" (1.91 cm). More
clearance may be required if you are using overlay panels or
custom handles.

Backer Panel

Custom overlay panels allow you to blend the exterior of your
refrigerator into the overall kitchen décor and to use custom
handles for additional design flexibility.

The custom panels must have backer panels attached in order
to mount them to the refrigerator. It is most common to work with
three panels, as shown in the following graphic: a decorative
overlay panel, a ¹/₈" (3.18 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips
and a ¹/₄" (6.35 mm) backer panel.

In some cases, your cabinet manufacturer may choose to work
with one panel routed for the different dimensions. Follow these
panel dimension and placement instructions to be sure that the
custom overlay panels will fit properly.

IMPORTANT:

■ For 36" (91.4 cm) single-door models, the refrigerator door

overlay panel cannot exceed 50 lbs (23 kg) and the freezer
drawer overlay panel cannot exceed 20 lbs (9.1 kg).

■ For 36" (91.4 cm) and 42" (106.7 cm) French-door models,

the refrigerator door overlay panel cannot exceed 30 lbs
(13.5 kg) and the freezer drawer overlay panel cannot exceed
25 lbs (11.4 kg).

■ The weight of the top grille overlay panel cannot exceed

10 lbs (4.5 kg) for both models.

To minimize panel weight, you may use 2" (5.08 cm) spacer
strips around the perimeter in place of full-sheet solid spacer
panels. The spacer strips must be set in at least 1" (2.54 cm)
from the top, bottom and side edges of the backer panel. If
you use spacer strips, it is also recommended that you use two
2" (5.08 cm) strips horizontally centered for added support.
