Electrical and Water Requirements
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.
Note on Controls: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When finished, reconnect and reset the control to the desired setting. Refer to "Using the Controls."
Water Supply: A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required for the ice maker and water dispenser. For questions about water pressure, consult a licensed, qualified plumber.
IMPORTANT: Water pressure from a reverse osmosis system connected to the water inlet valve must be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply: If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected, the water pressure to the system must be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

Location Requirements
- 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) space required on each side and at the top for ventilation.
- 1 inch (2.54 cm) space required behind the refrigerator for ventilation and water line connections (if applicable).
- For installation next to a fixed wall, a minimum of 2 3/4 inches (7.0 cm) is needed on the hinge side to allow the door to swing open.
To ensure proper ventilation, allow for a 1/2" (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1" (2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, ensure sufficient space at the back for water line connections.
If installing next to a fixed wall, allow a minimum of 2 3/4" (7.0 cm) on the hinge side for door swing clearance.
NOTE: Avoid installing the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).
