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 ampere 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, 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.
Removing the Door Handles
Apply firm pressure with hand on face of trim. Slide top
trim up and bottom trim down away from handle, then lift
off of shoulder screws. Remove handle screws.
Water System Preparation
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. Turn off the ice maker by opening the freezer door and
lifting up the wire shut-off arm as shown.
2. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding
2 to 3 gallons (approximately 6 to 7 minutes) of water
through the dispenser. This will clean the system and
help clean air from the lines. Additional flushing may be
required in some households.
