General Information
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator,
allow for a 1/2" (1.25 cm) space on each side and
at the top. Allow 1" (2.5 cm) of 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.
Moving Unit
•
DO NOT
transport the refrigerator on its side. If
an upright position is not possible, lay the
refrigerator on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit
upright for approximately 30 minutes before
plugging it in to assure oil returns to the
compressor. Plugging the refrigerator in
immediately may cause damage to internal
parts.
• Use an appliance dolly when moving
refrigerator.
ALWAYS
truck refrigerator from its
side or back -
NOT
from its front.
• Cover outside finish of refrigerator during
transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets
or inserting padding between the refrigerator
and dolly.
• Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or
bungee cords. Thread straps through handles
when possible.
DO NOT
overtighten.
Overtightening restraints may dent or damage
outside finish.
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your refrigerator to 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,
cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the
cooling
OFF
. Disconnect the refrigerator from the
electrical source. When you are finished,
reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source
and turn cooling on.

Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure of
between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa) is
required to operate the water dispenser and 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 35 and 120 psi (241 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 your refrigerator has a water filter, it may
further reduce the water pressure when used in
conjunction with a reverse osmosis system.
Remove the water filter.
If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualified plumber.
