Installation Requirements
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15or 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, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting.
Water Supply Requirements
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.
TOOLS NEEDED: |
|
• Flat-blade screwdriver |
• 1⁄4” nut driver |
• 7⁄16” and 1⁄2” open-end or |
• 1⁄4” drill bit |
two adjustable wrenches |
• Cordless drill |
IMPORTANT:
•All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
•Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of 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, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See “Water Filtration System” in the Use & Care Guide.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

1.Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
2.Find a 1⁄2” (12.70 mm) to 11⁄4” (3.18 cm) vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.
NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
3.Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1⁄4” (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
4.Using a cordless drill, drill a 1⁄4” (6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

5.Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the 1⁄4” (6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.
6.Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown in the diagram. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end of the shutoff valve as far as it will go. Screw the compression nut onto the outlet end with an adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
7.Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.
Connect Water Supply
Style 1 - Connection to Water Valve
1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.Before attaching copper tubing to refrigerator, flush at least 2 qt (1.9 L) of water through the copper tubing and into a bucket to get rid of any particles in the water line.
3.Check for leaks around the saddle valve. Do not overtighten clamp or sleeve. This will crush copper tubing.
4.Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten.

Installation Instructions
Prepare the Water System
Please read before using the water system.
Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make sure that the water system is properly cleaned.
1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. The On/Off switch is located on the top right side of the freezer compartment. Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown.
NOTE: Make sure the base grille filter is properly installed and the cap is in the horizontal position.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
2.Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
3.Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. Move the switch to the ON (left) position. See the Use & Care Guide for further instructions on the operation of your ice maker.
•Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
•Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
•Depending on your model, you may want to select the maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice.
