ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Before you move your refrigerator drawers into its final
location, it is important to make sure you have the proper
electrical connection.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 A fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only your refrigerator drawers 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, unplug refrigerator
drawers or disconnect power.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
(REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER DRAWERS
ONLY)
Gather the required tools and parts before starting
installation. Read and follow the instructions provided
with any tools listed here.
IMPORTANT:
Connect to potable water supply.
If you turn ON the refrigerator drawers before the
water line is connected, turn OFF the ice maker.
All installations must meet local plumbing code
requirements.
Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install
copper tubing only in areas where the household
temperatures will remain above freezing.
TOOLS NEEDED:
Flat-blade screwdriver, 7/16" and 1/2"
open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, 1/4" nut
driver and drill bit, cordless drill.
NOTE:
Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a
1/4" (6 mm) saddle-type shutoff 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" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which
reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
WATER PRESSURE
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30
and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate ice
maker. If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualified plumber.
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).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less
than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the
reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if
necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system
to refill after heavy usage.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
