STEP 6 Connect the water dispenser line

A

C

A

B

A water dispenser with a lter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To
help promote better health, the water lter removes unwanted particles from your water.
However, it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a
water purifying system to do that.

The water line also connects to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly,
water pressure of 20-125 psi (138-862 kPa) is required.

If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20 psi (138 kPa)),
you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

After you have connected the water line, make sure the water storage tank inside the
refrigerator is properly lled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until water runs
from the water outlet.

NOTE

• Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your retailer. We
recommend using a water line installation kit that contains copper tubing and a

1

/4"

(6 mm) compression nut.

• Use the new hose-sets supplied with the appliance only. Do not re-use an old hose set.

WARNING

• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear
of obstruction.

• Connect to potable water supply only.

Installation

1. Shut off the main water source.

2. Insert the pipe clamp (B) and the

shutoff valve (C) into the cold water

CAUTION

• If you use plastic tubing (A), do not use it without the molded end (Bulb).

• Leaving the water line disconnected may cause the water valve to produce a buzzing
sound over time. If this is the case, make sure that the ice making function is turned
“OFF” and do not attempt to use the water dispenser.

2. Tighten the compression nut (B) onto the compression tting. Do not over-tighten the
compression nut (B).

3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage. If you nd water drops or leakage in
the connection areas, turn off the main water supply. Check the connections and, if
necessary, tighten.

4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the lter before drinking or using the water from
the refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) To ush, press a large glass or cup
against the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it, and then repeat.

5. After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that
period of time, throw out the rst 1 or 2 buckets of ice the ice maker makes to ensure
all impurities have been removed from the water line.

NOTE

Only connect the water line to a potable water source.

• If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut off
make sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.

• You can test the water line quickly using a paper cup. Under normal conditions, the
water dispenser can ll a 5 3/4 oz. (170 cc) cup in about 10 seconds.

Ice maker

The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses ice so that you can
enjoy ltered water with cubed or crushed ice.

Ice making

After you have installed your refrigerator and plugged it in, follow these instructions to
ensure proper ice making and to keep the ice bucket full of ice:

1. Let the refrigerator operate for at least 24 hours to ensure optimal performance.

2. Dispense the rst 4 to 6 ice cubes into a glass.

3. Wait another 8 hours and dispense another 4 to 6 ice cubes.

4. Then, wait another 16 hours and dispense the rst glass-full of ice.

English50

DACOR_RF8000MC_DA68-03563J-02_EN.indd 50 3/5/2020 7:16:52 PM

NOTE

• If you consume all the ice at once, you must wait 8 hours before dispensing the rst 4
to 6 cubes. This ensures that the ice bucket is lled with ice properly.

• Ice cubes generated rapidly may look white, which is normal.

Diagnosis

If ice does not dispense, rst check the ice
maker.

1. Press Test on the side of the ice maker.
You will hear a chime (ding-dong) when
you press the button.

2. You will hear another chime if the ice
maker is operating properly.

CAUTION

• If the ice making chime rings repeatedly, contact your waterline installer or a local
Dacor Customer Service.

• Do not press Test repeatedly after the ice tray is lled with ice or water. Water may
overow or ice may jam.

• Do not put food in the ice bucket. The frozen food may damage the ice maker,
especially when you open or close the door.

• When the refrigerator recovers power after a power failure, the ice bucket may contain
a mix of melted and jammed ice cubes, which can prevent the ice maker from working
properly. To prevent this, make sure to empty the ice bucket so the ice bucket can rell
with fresh, loose ice cubes.

• Do not put ngers or any objects into the dispenser outlet or the ice maker. This can
cause physical injury or property damage.

• When reinserting the ice maker tray, make sure that the tray is properly centered at
the entrance. Otherwise, the tray can get stuck.

Operations

If You Turn the Ice Maker Off

If you press and hold Ice Maker for more than 3 seconds to turn the ice maker off, make
sure to remove all ice cubes from the ice bucket. Remaining ice cubes may clump together,
making it difcult to remove them.

To remove the ice bucket, see the Ice bucket section on page 53.

NOTE

• Removal of the ice bucket does not affect the thermal and mechanical performance of
the refrigerator.

DACOR_RF8000MC_DA68-03563J-02_EN.indd 51 3/5/2020 7:16:53 PM

Operations

Water clouding

Water supplied to the refrigerator ows through a core alkaline lter. During this ltering
process, the water pressure of the water increases and the water becomes saturated with
oxygen and nitrogen. This causes the water to look misty or cloudy temporarily when
dispensed. This is normal and the water will look clear after a few seconds.

Fresh Zone divider

You can change the divider position.
To do this, unlock the divider by turning

the divider dial counter clockwise. Then,
move the width and height bars as
appropriate. When done, turn the dial
clockwise to lock the divider.

If the divider lock does not function, wipe
the bars to remove moisture on them.
