Electrical Requirements
Before you move your freezer 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 freezer 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 Temperature Control to the OFF
position as shown and then disconnect the freezer from the
electrical source.
Water Supply Requirements
(on some models)
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■ If you turn the freezer on before the water line is connected,
turn the ice maker OFF.
■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■ Use plastic tubing and check for leaks. Install plastic tubing
only in areas where 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, drill bit and a
cordless drill.
NOTE: Your freezer dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm)
saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and plastic 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 to 827 kPa) is required to operate the water
dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water
pressure, see “Troubleshooting” or call a licensed, qualified
plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the 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), a booster pump can be inserted into
the small tubing that goes from the cold water line to the reverse
osmosis system.
If the water dispenser is still not dispensing water properly:
■ 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, refer to
“Troubleshooting” or 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.
