Electrical: 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.
Water Supply: A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi
(207 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 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).

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
n The refrigerator can be installed into a recessed opening, at the end of cabinets or
as a freestanding refrigerator.
n If you are installing the refrigerator to fit flush with the front of the base cabinets, all
shoe moulding and baseboards must be removed from the rear of the refrigerator
opening. Allow for 1" (2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator.
n This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges
from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room
temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and
provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is
recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an
oven or radiator.
