Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Before you move your refrigerator into its nal location, it
is important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualied person.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along
its length or at either the plug or connector end.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC only 15 A or 20 A fused, grounded electrical
supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only your refrigerator and approved accessories be
provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch.
Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn Cooling OFF, and then disconnect
the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have
nished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and
turn Cooling ON. See “Using the Control(s).’’
Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 psi and
120 psi (207 kPa and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water
dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your
water pressure, call a licensed, qualied 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 psi and 120 psi (207 kPa
and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water ltration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system needs to be a minimum of 40 psi to 60 psi
(276 kPa to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 psi to 60 psi (276 kPa to 414 kPa):
■ Check to see whether the sediment lter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.
■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to
rell after heavy usage. The tank capacity could be too low
to keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator.
■ If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce
the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse
osmosis system. Remove the water lter. See “Water
Filtration System.”
Connect the Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■ Connect to potable water supply only.
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.
■ All installations must meet local plumbing code
requirements.
■ Use copper tubing or Whirlpool supply line, Part Number
8212547RP, and check for leaks.
■ Install copper tubing only in areas where the temperatures
will remain above freezing.
TOOLS NEEDED:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
■ Flat-blade screwdriver■ 1/4" Nut driver
■ 7/16" and 1/2" Open-
end or two adjustable
wrenches
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. Do not use a
piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces
water ow and clogs more easily.
Connect to Water Line
Style 1
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Locate a 1/2" to 1¼"(1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
■ Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away
from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the
valve.
4. 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.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" (6.35 mm) hole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.

Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer
makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may
crush the copper tubing.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut onto
the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing
into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw
compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do
not overtighten.
8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and
turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water
is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil
the copper tubing.
Style 2
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray
water tube on the rear of the refrigerator.
3. Thread the provided nut onto the water valve as shown.
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a
wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.
6. On models with ice makers, the ice maker is equipped with
a built-in water strainer. If your water conditions require a
second water strainer, install it in the 1/4" (6.35 mm) water
line at either tube connection. Obtain a water strainer from
your nearest appliance dealer.
Style 2
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray
water tube on the rear of the refrigerator.
3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not
long enough, a 1/4" x 1/4" (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) coupling is
needed in order to connect the water tubing to an existing
household water line. Thread the provided nut onto the
coupling on the end of the copper tubing.
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a
wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.

1. Wash the ice storage bin with mild soap and warm water.
2. Slide the ice storage bin under the ice maker, and push it
toward the back as far as it will go.
3. Lower the arm on the ice maker to the “ON” position.
NOTE: It usually takes approximately 24 hours for the ice
maker to begin producing ice. You may notice the ice has
an “off-taste.” If so, discard the rst three batches of ice
produced. After that the “off-taste” should be gone.
Ice Production Rate
■ The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches
of ice in a 24-hour period. Allow 3 days to completely ll the
ice container.
■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See “Using the Control(s).” Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
14
Remember
Foldaway Shelf (on some models)
■ The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality
of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting
the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener
chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice
maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water
supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is
operating properly and is well maintained.
■ Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin.
This can cause damage to the ice storage bin and the
dispenser mechanism.
■ Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or ice
storage bin.
