Electrical requirements
The electrical circuit must meet all local codes and ordinances.
recommended grounding Method
A 115 Vac, 60 Hz., 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.
iMPOrTANT
: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the power supply may
occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality and flavor may be affected.
Water Supply requirements
◊
The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet
on either side of the refrigerator or some other easily
accessible area. The right-hand side is recommended.
NOTE
: If the water shut off valve is in the back wall behind the
refrigerator, it must be at an angle so that the tube is not kinked
when the refrigerator is pushed into its final position.
◊
If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the
plumbing for the water line can come through the floor. A
½” (1.3 cm) hole for plumbing should be drilled at least 6”
(15.2 cm) from the right or left hand side cabinet or panel.
On the floor, the hole should be no more than 1”
(2.5 cm) away from the back wall.
◊
Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¼” (6.4
mm) saddle-type shutoff valve. Before purchasing, make
sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing
codes.
◊
Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄
16
” (4.8 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
◊
Install the water supply line only in areas where the
household temperatures will remain above freezing.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 and
827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker.
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 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa). If a reverse osmosis water
filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure
to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276
to 414 kPa).
