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.
IMPORTANT
: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) equipped outlet, nuisance tripping of the
power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality
and flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and
if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it.
NOTE
: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, remove the top grille and turn the master
power switch to OFF or disconnect power at the circuit breaker
box.
When you are finished, turn ON the main power switch or
reconnect power at the circuit breaker box. Then reset the control
to the desired setting.
Installation Requirements
Location Requirements (continued)
A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be placed within
4” (10.2 cm) of the right side cabinets or end panel. See
Electrical Requirements
for more information.
The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on
either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible
area. If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the
plumbing for the water line can come through the floor or
the back wall. See
Water Supply Requirements
for more
information.
