A grounded three prong non-GFCI electrical outlet must 

• 

be provided and should be in a location that allows the 
refrigerator to be connected without an extension cord. See 

Electrical Requirements

 for additional information.

The plumbing for the water line can come through the floor 

• 

flush to or from the back wall. Install the water valve in a 
location that allows it to be turned off without moving the 
refrigerator out in the event the refrigerator or water line 
requires service.

For IF36 series models, see document 100504 for 

• 

instructions on planning and installing integrated front panels.

All installations must meet local plumbing code 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.

Install a shut off valve between the refrigerator and water 

• 

supply. Use 1/4” copper tubing with a compression nut and 
compression sleeve and check for leaks. Allow a minimum of 
24” (610 mm) diameter service loop of copper tubing outside 
the wall or floor for easy connection to the water supply. 
Install copper tubing only in areas where the household 
temperatures will remain above freezing. 

Do not use a piecing type or 3/16” (4.76 mm) saddle valve 

• 

which will reduce water flow and clog more easily.

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. See the use and 
care manual.

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. 

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.
