These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator.
yyReinstall or adjust shelves as needed.
Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping position. Reinstall shelves according to your individual storage needs.
Choosing The Proper Location
Water |
Water supply must be easily connected for the automatic icemaker. |
|
|
Water pressure |
20–120 psi on models without water filter. 40–120 psi on models with |
|
water filter. |
|
|
Electricity |
Use an individual, grounded outlet:115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC, 15 Amps |
|
minimum. |
|
WARNING: Do not overload house wiring and cause a fire |
|
hazard by plugging in multiple appliances in the same outlet |
|
with the refrigerator. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do |
|
not install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area. |
|
|
Floor |
Floor must be level and solidly constructed. Adjust the leveling legs to |
|
compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Do not install on carpeting, |
|
soft tile, a platform, or a weakly supported structure. |
|
|
Ambient |
Temperature must be between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the |
temperature |
ambient temperature is too low or high, performance may be affected. |
|
|
Clearances |
Allow at least 24 in. (61 cm) in front to open the doors. Allow at least |
|
2 in. (5.08 cm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall. If the |
|
refrigerator is too close to adjacent items, freezing capability may decrease |
|
and electricity consumption may increase. |
|
|
INSTALLATION 11
Measuring the Clearances
Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges.
Allow at least 24 inches (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to open the doors, and at least
2 inches (5.08 cm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and can lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.
Caution
To prevent burns and product damage, only connect the refrigerator water line to a cold water supply.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power button is turned off.
Caution
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
Water Pressure
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20 psi), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, this water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow the instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
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 (276-414 kPa or 2.8-4.2 kgf/cm², less than 2.0-3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity).
Caution
Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/ cm² (takes more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity):
yy Check to see if the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
yy Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.
yy If the issue concerning water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
yy All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
What You Will Need
yy Copper Tubing, ¼ in. outer diameter, to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.
yy To determine how much 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 (2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
yy Power drill.
yy ½ in. or adjustable
wrench.
yy Flat blade and Phillips
head screwdrivers.
yy Two ¼ in. outer diameter compression
nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.
