REFRIGERATOR SAFETY

Proper Disposal of

Your Old Refrigerator

IMPORTANT – Child entrapment and suffocation are not

problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators

are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few

days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please

follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

■Take off the doors.

■Leave the shelves in place so that children may not

easily climb inside.

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all

safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER” or

“WARNING.” These words mean:

INSTALLING YOUR

REFRIGERATOR

UnpackingYourRefrigerator

Removing Packaging Materials

■Remove tape and any labels from your refrigerator

before using (except the model and serial number

label).

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area

briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also

be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid

dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe

with warm water and dry.

■Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,

flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape

or glue. These products can damage the surface of

your refrigerator. For more information, see

“Refrigerator Safety” section.

■On some models, shelves, bins, door shelf rails, and

other feature parts may be packaged in the Finishing

Touches FeaturePak. Follow the instructions contained

in the package for proper assembly.

IMPORTANT:

■Depending on your model, do not remove any

permanent instruction labels inside your refrigerator, or

the Tech Sheet that is fastened behind the base grille.

■Depending on your model, do not remove the white

Styrofoam insert that is located behind the control

panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. The insert is part

of the refrigerator and not part of the packing material.

If the insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the

freezer and cause icicles to form.

Space Requirements

■To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow

for a .5" (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top.

■If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you

leave some extra space at the back for the water line

connections. The refrigerator can be flush against the

back wall if you do not have an ice maker installed.

■If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall,

leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on each side (depending

on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.

NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator,

or other heat source, nor in a location where the

temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,

or fire.

.5" (1.25 cm)

2" (5.08 cm)

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

Plug 1: A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused,

grounded (earthed) electrical supply is required.

Plugs 2 and 3: A 220/240 Volt/50 Hz or 220 Volt/60Hz AC

only 10 ampere fused and grounded (earthed) 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.

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.

Connecting the Refrigerator

to a Water Source

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■If operating the refrigerator before installing the water

connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to

prevent operation without water.

■All installations must be in accordance with local

plumbing code requirements.

■Use copper tubing and check for leaks.

■Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures

will remain above freezing.

■It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin

producing ice.

Tools required:

■Standard screwdriver

■⁷⁄₁₆-inch and ¹⁄₂-inch open-end wrenches or two

adjustable wrenches

■¹⁄₄-inch nut driver

■¹⁄₄-inch drill bit

■Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a

¹⁄₄-inch saddle-type shut-off 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-inch saddle valve which reduces water

flow and clogs more easily.

Cold Water Supply

The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is

used as a water pressure regulator. The ice maker needs to

be connected to a cold water line with water pressure

between 30 and 120 psi. If a problem occurs, call your

utility company.

Connecting to water line:

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet

long enough to clear line of water.

3. Find a ¹⁄₂-inch to 1¹⁄₄-inch 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.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded (earthed) outlet.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

Do not use an extension cord.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not remove ground prong.

Plug 1 Plug 2 Plug 3

4. To determine the length of copper tubing you will need,

measure from connection on lower left rear of

refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7feet (2.1 m) toallow for

moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄-inch O.D.

(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of

copper tubing are cut square.

5. Using a grounded drill, drill a ¹⁄₄-inch hole in the cold

water pipe you have selected.

1. Cold Water Pipe

2. Pipe Clamp

3. Copper Tubing

4. Compression Nut

5. Compression Sleeve

6. Shut Off Valve

7. Packing Nut

6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe

clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄-inch drilled

hole in the water pipe and that washer is under the pipe

clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp

screws carefully 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.

7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on

copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into 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 into a container or sink,

and turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing

until water is clear. Turn OFF shut-off valve on the water

pipe. Coil copper tubing.

Connecting to refrigerator:

NOTE: The first step for connecting the water line to your

refrigerator is different depending on the type of water

valve provided with your refrigerator. See the diagrams

below to determine the style of valve you have. (On kit

models, assemble water valve to refrigerator per kit

instructions.)

1. For Style 1, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of

the product and insert the copper tubing through the

clamp, as shown. Remove the tape label from the valve

inlet and insert copper tubing until it bottoms out

(approximately ³⁄₄-inch). Tighten nut by hand as much

as possible; then turn the nut an additional ¹⁄₂ turn using

a wrench. Do not overtighten. Re-attach the tube

clamp and tube to the back of the cabinet. Skip to

Step 2.

For Style 2, disconnect the tube clamp on the back of

the product and insert copper tubing through the

clamp as shown. Attach the copper tube to the valve

inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown.

Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Re-

attach the tube clamp and tube to the back of the

cabinet. Move to Step 2.

2. Turn shut-off valve ON. Check For Leaks. Tighten

any connections (including connections at the

valve) or nuts that leak.
