Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household 
use only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 

¹⁄₂

(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for a 1" 
(2.54 cm) space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an 
ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line 
connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, 
leave a 3

³⁄₄

" (9.5 cm) minimum space between the refrigerator and 

wall to allow the door to swing open.
NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the 
temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum 
of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for 
optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and 
provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F 
(32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator 
near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

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

A 115 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 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.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, or 
removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or 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 turn cooling on or reset the 
control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on 
the model) to the desired setting. See “Using the Controls” in the 
User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide.

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:  

IMPORTANT:

All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

Do not use a piercing-type or 

³⁄₁₆

" (4.76 mm) saddle valve

which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing
only in areas where the household temperatures will remain
above freezing.

For models with water filters, the disposable water filter
should be replaced at least every 6 months.
