In our continuing effort to improve the quality and

performance of our appliances, it may be necessary

to make changes to the appliance without revising

this guide.

This appliance is equipped with a three-prong

grounding plug for your protection against possible

electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged into a

grounding receptacle. Where a standard two-prong

wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal

responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it

replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall

receptacle. Do not under any circumstances, cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Do not use an adapter plug.

To reduce risk of injury or death, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation

are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned

refrigerators are still dangerous – even if they sit out

for “just 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 your old

refrigerator or freezer:

•Take off the doors.

•Leave the shelves in place so

children may not easily climb

inside.

Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or

death when using your refrigerator, follow these basic

precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the refrigerator.

2. Observe all local codes and ordinances.

3. Be sure to follow grounding instructions.

4. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not

sure this appliance is properly grounded.

5. Do not ground to a gas line.

6. Do not ground to a cold-water pipe.

7. Refrigerator is designed to operate on a separate

115 volt, 15 amp., 60 cycle line.

8. Do not modify plug on power cord. If plug does

not fit electrical outlet, have proper outlet installed

by a qualified electrician.

9. Do not use a two-prong adapter, extension cord

or power strip.

10. Do not remove warning tag from power cord.

11. Do not tamper with refrigerator controls.

12. Do not service or replace any part of refrigerator

unless specifically recommended in Use & Care

Guide or published user-repair instructions. Do

not attempt service if instructions are not under-

stood or if they are beyond personal skill level.

13. Always disconnect refrigerator from electrical

supply before attempting any service. Disconnect

power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

14. Install refrigerator according to Installation

Instructions. All connections for water, electrical

power and grounding must comply with local

codes and be made by licensed personnel when

required.

15. Keep your refrigerator in good condition. Bumping

or dropping refrigerator can damage refrigerator

or cause refrigerator to malfunction or leak. If

WARNING

Installation

Your refrigerator was packed carefully for shipment.

Remove and discard shelf packaging and tape. Do not

remove the serial plate.

Location

•Do not install refrigerator near oven, radiator or other

heat source. If not possible, shield refrigerator with

cabinet material.

•Do not install where temperature falls below 55° F

(13° C) or rises above 110° F (43° C). Malfunction

may occur at this temperature.

•Refrigerator is designed for indoor household

application only.

Measuring the Opening

When installing your refrigerator, measure carefully.

Allow 1⁄2" space at top and 1⁄2" space behind the

machine compartment cover (located in the rear) for

proper air circulation.

Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood

floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than

anticipated.

Some clearance may be gained by using the leveling

procedure under Leveling.

IMPORTANT: If refrigerator is to be installed into a

recess where the top of the refrigerator is completely

covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap

to verify proper clearance.

Transporting Your Refrigerator

•NEVER transport refrigerator on its side. If an

upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator on its

back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for

approximately 30 minutes before plugging it in to

assure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging the

refrigerator in immediately may cause damage to

internal parts.

•Use an appliance dolly when moving refrigerator.

ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side or

back–NEVER from its front.

•Protect outside finish of refrigerator during transport

by wrapping cabinet in blankets or inserting padding

between the refrigerator and dolly.

•Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or

bungee cords. Thread straps through handles when

possible. Do not overtighten. Overtightening

restraints may dent or damage outside finish.

Leveling

To protect property and refrigerator from damage,

observe the following:

•Protect vinyl or other flooring with cardboard, rugs,

or other protective material.

•Do not use power tools when performing leveling

procedure.

CAUTION

To enhance the appearance and maintain performance,

the refrigerator should be level.

Note

•Complete any required door reversal, panel

installation and/or a water supply connection,

before leveling.

Connecting the Water Supply

(select models)

To reduce the risk of injury or death, follow

basic precautions, including the following:

•Read all instructions before installing ice maker.

•Do not attempt installation if instructions are not

understood or if they are beyond personal skill

level.

•Observe all local codes and ordinances.

•Do not service ice maker unless specifically

recommended in Use & Care Guide or published

user-repair instructions.

•Disconnect power to refrigerator before installing

ice maker.

•Water damage due to an improper water

connection may cause mold/mildew growth.

Clean up spills or leakage immediately .

WARNING

To avoid property damage or possible injury,

follow basic precautions, including the

following:

•Consult a plumber to connect 1⁄4” O.D. copper

tubing to household plumbing to assure

compliance with local codes and ordinances.

•Confirm water pressure to water valve is between

35 and 100 pounds per square inch. 20 pounds

per square inch if there is not a water filter.

•Do not use a self-piercing, or 3⁄16" saddle valve.

Both reduce water flow and can become clogged

over time, and may cause leaks if repair is

attempted.

•Tighten nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.

Finish tightening nuts with pliers and wrenches.

Do not overtighten.

•Wait 2-3 hours before placing refrigerator into final

position to check and correct any water leaks.

Recheck for leaks after 24 hours.

•Verify the copper tubing under the sleeve is

smooth and free from defects. Do not reuse an old

sleeve.

CAUTION

Materials Needed

•1⁄4" outer diameter flexible copper tubing

•Shut-off valve (requires a 1⁄4" hole to be drilled into

water supply line before valve attachment)

•Adjustable wrench

•1⁄4" hex nut driver

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten. Cross

threading may occur.

6. Pull on tubing to confirm connection is

secure. Connect tubing to frame with

water tubing clamp (C) and turn on

water supply. Check for leaks and

correct if necessary. Continue to

observe the water supply connection

for two to three hours prior to moving

the refrigerator to its permanent

location.

7. Monitor water connection for 24 hours. Correct

leaks, if necessary.

Note

•Add 8' to tubing length needed to reach water

supply for creation of service loop.

1. Create service loop with copper

tubing (minimum 2’ diameter).

Avoid kinks in the copper tubing

when bending it into a service

loop.

2. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet

port.

3. Place brass nut (A) and sleeve (B) on

copper tube end as illustrated.

Reminder: Do not use an old

sleeve.

4. Place end of copper tubing into

water valve inlet port. Shape tubing

slightly. Do not kink – so that tubing feeds

straight into inlet port.

5. Slide brass nut over sleeve and screw nut

into inlet port. Tighten nut with wrench.
