Proper Disposal
(of old refrigerator)
General Information
• Do not install where the temperature falls
Unpacking Unit
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
below 55°F (13°C) or rises above 110°F
(43°C). Malfunctions can occur at these
temperatures.
• Refrigerator is designed for indoor
household application only.
Your refrigerator was packed carefully for
shipment. Remove and discard all packaging
and tape. Do not remove the model/serial
number label.
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
WARNING
Measuring the Opening
Excessive Weight Hazard
IMPORTANT:
When installing your refrigerator, measure
carefully. Allow 1/2” (1.3 cm) space at top
and 1/2” (1.3 cm) behind the machine
compartment cover (located in the rear) for
proper air circulation. Sub-flooring or floor
coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood floors,
rugs) may make your opening smaller than
anticipated. Some clearance may be gained by
using the leveling procedure under “Leveling”.
When installing your refrigerator next to a
fixed wall, leave 2 7/8” (7.3 cm) minimum on
the hinge side to allow for the door to swing
open.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous - even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please
follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.
Use two or more people to move and
install refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
When moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the
refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to
protect the floor. Always pull the refrigerator
straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or
“walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it,
as floor damage could occur.
Location
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors,
such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
• Do not install refrigerator near oven, radiator
or other heat sources. If not possible, shield
refrigerator material.

General Information
General Information
Moving Unit
Electrical Requirements
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414
kPa):
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.
• NEVER 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.
WARNING
• Check to see whether the sediment filter in
the reverse osmosis system is blocked.
Replace the filter if necessary.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse
osmosis system to refill afer heavy usage.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
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).
• Use an appliance dolly when moving
refrigerator. ALWAYS truck refrigerator from
its side or back - NEVER from its front.
• 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.
Do not use an extension cord.
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).
• Protect outside finish of refrigerator during
transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets
or inserting padding between the refrigerator
and dolly.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
If you have questions about your water
pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Before you move your refrigerator to its final
location, it is important to make sure you
have the proper electrical connection.
• 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.
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 of by a
switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of
installation, cleaning, or removing a light
bulb, turn the refrigerator OFF. Press the
freezer Down Arrow control until a dash (-)
appears in both the Freezer and Refrigerator
displays. Disconnect the refrigerator from the
electrical source. When you are finished,
reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical
source and reset the temperature controls to
the desired setting.

Installation
Connect to Water Supply
Materials Needed
• 1/4” outer diameter flexible copper tubing
• Shut-off valve (requires a 1/4” hole to be drilled into water supply line before valve
attachment)
• 2 adjustable wrenches
• 1/4” hex nut driver
NOTE: Use copper tubing only for installation. Plastic is less durable and can cause damage.
Add 8 feet to tubing length needed to reach water supply for creation of service loop.
Using second adjustable wrench, turn the lower nut
counterclockwise and fully tighten the upper nut in
place. IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten. Cross
threading may occur.
Slide brass nut over sleeve and screw nut into inlet
port. Place adjustable wrench on nut attached to plastic
waterline and maintain position.
