Safety Precautions

Never put ammable, explosive,

dangerous items, or highly corrosive acid and alkali in the refrigerator.

To avoid personal injury, do not put unstable materials on the refrigerator, such as heavy containers full of water. To prevent spills that could damage the electrical workings of the unit, do not rest water containers on the refrigerator.

Drugs, vaccines, and chemical reagents must not be put in refrigerator. This refrigerator is for household use

only. It cannot store temperature-

sensitive materials.

Do not play or hang on the bottle bin or drawers on the inside of the doors. This may damage the bottle bin and drawers or lead to them falling off the refrigerator and causing personal injury. Do not step on the convertible drawer while adding or removing food from the main compartments.

Do not store or use gasoline

or other ammable substances

near the refrigerator to avoid

re hazard.

To prevent frostbite, while the refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the frozen surface of the freezer(s), especially with wet hands.

The gaps between doors and cabinets are small. Please do not

put your nger in these gaps. Keep

children away from the refrigerator while opening or closing the refrigerator door.

To avoid broken glass, do not put bottled beer or soft drinks in the freezer. You also must not put these beverages in the convertible drawer when it is set to freezer.

Do not spray or rinse the refrigerator, and do not put the refrigerator in a humid environment. This will prevent damage to the electrical insulation and performance of the refrigerator from water exposure.

During a power failure or when cleaning, pull out the plug. You must wait at least 5 minutes before putting the plug back in, otherwise it may

cause compressor start-up damage.

Dismantling or modifying the refrigerator is prohibited. Damage to the cooling piping is also not allowed. Any repair work must be done by a service engineer or technician.

After the refrigerator is no longer in use, take off the doors, the gaskets, and the shelves, and place them in a safe place. This avoids the danger of children playing in and getting caught in the discarded refrigerator.

CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location for the valve that is easily accessible. It is best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4” hole in the water pipe (even if using a self-piercing valve),

using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.

Take care not to allow water to drain into the drill.

Failure to drill a 1/4” hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the piper clamp. Commmonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.

Do not overtighten or you may crush the tubing.

ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or oor (behind the

refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.

Be sure there is sufcient extra tubing (about 8’ (2,4 ) coiled into 3 turns

of about 10” (25 cm) diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

Connecting the Water Supply Line

CONNECTING THE TUBING TO THE VALVE

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper onto the end of the tubing and connect to the shutoff valve.

Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.

Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

Turn the main water supply on and ush out the tubing until the water

is clear.

Shut the water off at the water valve after about one quart (1 liter) of

water has been ushed through the tubing.

CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR

Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not

Precautions When Refrigerating Food

Before putting hot food into the refrigerator, cool it to ambient temperature.

Food should be stored based on use.

Food should be classied according

to its use. Daily food should be put in front of the shelves in order to shorten the time that the door is open. This will prevent food spoilage and save energy.

Before storing food in the refrigerator clean food and wipe water off it.

Do not put too much food in the refrigerator and overcrowd it. The stored food in the refrigerator should have space around it and not touching other food. This will allow better air circulation and uniform temperatures.

Before storing food in the refrigerator, it is suggested to cover all food. It will keep fruits and vegetables moist and fresh, and prevent mixing of food odors.

The stored food should not be near the inner walls. Avoid storing food against the inside walls. This will protect the food from freezing. There should be a space between the food and inner liners.

Tips and Hints in Using Fresh Food Compartment

Radish leaves should be

cut off - otherwise the

leaves will absorb some of the nutrients from the vegetables.

Defrost frozen food in the fresh food compartment or convertible compartment to save energy.

Some foods, like onion, bananas, garlic, and certain root and stem vegetables can be stored at room temperature. It is not always necessary to store them in the refrigerator.

About the Freezer

It is Suitable to Store Food for a Long Period of Time

The temperature is very low, and can keep food fresh and safe for a long time. Therefore, food you intend to store for a long time should be kept in the freezer compartment. Follow the storage time indicated on the food package.

Refrigeration can accelerate the ripening of certain fruits like melons, bananas, pineapples, and more. Do not keep these fruits in the refrigerator unless you want them to ripen faster.

Shelf Can be Removed to Clean

Move the shelf as shown in step 1. Raise the right side of the shelf as shown in step 2.

Lamp Replacement in the Freezer Compartment

Parameter: 115V~, 40W Socket: E26 (40W max) see steps 1 and 2 on the drawing for bulb removal

While changing the lamp:

Pull out the plug to cut off power. Raise lamp cover gently as per 1, draw it out as per 2. Turn the bulb counterclockwise to take it out. Replace with a new bulb of the same or lower watts. Reinstall by following these directions in reverse.

While storing frozen food like ice cream, be sure to put it all the way inside the freezer and not

NOTE

in or near the door. This keeps the frozen food colder.

Precautions When Freezing Food

Before putting hot food into the freezer, cool it to room temperature.

Write the date, expiration date, and food name on the outside of packing materials so you can be assured of the food and when it is safe to eat.

Separate food into small batches to make it easier to freeze and defrost for later. Do not freeze in batched larger than 5.5 lbs. each.

Take food form the freezer to defrost when needed. Defrosted food cannot be frozen again unless it is cooked. Otherwise, it will affect food quality and safety.

Before freezing food, it is better to pack it securely and make sure the outside of the package is dry. The packing material

should be avorless, airproof, nontoxic, and contamination-free to avoid tainting

the food inside.

Do not put too much fresh food into the freezer at once. This could go beyond the freezer’s cooling capacity.

Using the Ice Maker and Cold Water Dispenser

Preparations Before Using the Ice Maker and Cold Water Dispenser

Cut the water pipe according to need, and avoid bending the water pipe too much. Usually the length should be less than 18 ft (5 m). If the water pipe is too long, the ice and water content are affected because of low water pressure.

The water pipe cannot stand heat. Keep it away from heat sources.

You may want to have a service engineer install the water pipe.

During the rst use, in order to supply water to the fresh food compartment, press the cold water button

several times for 1 minute each. Do not press the cold water button for longer than a minute, to prevent

overheating the water valve. Cold water will begin to ow from the outlet. Water supply pipe instruction: The cold water pressure should be 21 - 123 psi for automatic ice making. The purier is only for ltering. It cannot sterilize or destroy anything - therefore, make sure to connect the

water pipe to a drinkable water source.

Precautions

To prevent the pipe form freezing, do not install the water pipe in a place below 32 °F.

Open water valve to ush pipe, and check leakage in water pipe joints until water is clean.

When temperature of ice maker is equal to or below 5 °F, the ice maker will begin to make ice. (Throw out

the rst several batches of ice cubes if you make ice after not having made it for a long time.)

After the refrigerator is installed, put the water supply pipe in a proper place to prevent pressing and damage.

The lter in the water pipe is there to lter impurities in the water and to make the ice chlorine and odor free. After a long time of usage, if the cubed ice becomes smaller, it may mean that the lter is blocked from the

water impurities. After about 6 months of use, the “Change Filter” indicator light will turn on. At this time, we

suggest you call the number on the lter or go to an authorized Haier after-sale service center to buy a new lter. After you change the lter, the indicator light will turn off. The refrigerator comes with a lter installed; after this you have to buy and change the lter yourself.

The ice maker should only be connected to a source of drinkable water.

Using the Ice Maker and Cold Water Dispenser

Working Principle

The ice content will depend on room temperature, door openings, water pressure, freezer temperature, etc. It is considered normal when ice cubes stick together.

Wait 24 hours after installing your refrigerator before you begin using the ice maker

NOTE

If This is Your First Ice Maker

Occasionally you may hear some sounds, like water owing or ice dropping. These sounds are

normal. Occasionally, in periods of infrequent ice use, cubes may stick together and clog the dispenser. Remove the ice cream holder and lift up the ice bucket. Shake it from side to side to dislodge the cubes. Return the ice bucket and ice cream holder. Cubes should dispense normally now.

If You Do Not Use Ice Often

Older ice cubes can get stale. Clean the ice bucket periodically and use warm water to clean. Before putting it back, make sure to dry it so new ice does not stick to it.

When You Do Not Use the Ice Container for an Extended Time

If you will not be using the ice container for a long time, throw out the remaining ice cubes, wash the container with warm water, dry it with a towel, and put it back in the refrigerator. Then close the valve between the water supply and the refrigerator.

feature. This gives the ice maker time to load the ice bucket.

Using the Dispenser

Select one - crushed ice, cold water, and ice cubes - and push the ice/water lever gently as follows:

1. When you want crushed ice:

Press the selecting button until the crushed ice indicator is lit. Push the lever gently with the cup. Crushed ice will be provided.

2. When you want cubed ice: Press the selecting button until

the cubed ice indicator is lit. Push the lever gently with the cup. Cubed ice will be provided.

When You Use Crushed Ice

Even if you are using cubed ice, you may still get some crushed ice. This can happen when several ice cubes are sent to the ice crusher. Sometimes a small amount of snow or frost will form on the door in the ice chute. It is best to remove this to prevent ice from binding in the chute.

When You Use Cold Water

When you rst push the lever, cold water might not come out immediately. This is because there may be air in the pipe. Press the lever for at least 2 minutes to clear out the air and then ll your cup with water. The rst cup of water may be warmer than the following cups. This is normal. If you take out 2 cups, or 16 oz., the

water may become warmer again.

3. When you want cold water: Press the selecting button until the

cold water indicator is lit. Push the lever gently with the cup. Cold water will be provided.

WARNING

To avoid injury, NEVER put your ngers and/or other objects in the ice dispenser

opening.

Removing and Installing the Ice Container

Removing the Ice Container

Take down food in the ice cream shelf. Raise the center of the container away from the shelf frame, hold down the front, and pull the container out.

Reinstall the Ice Container

Reinstall the ice container and x the clamp in the

lower right side into the groove on the back wall. If the ice container cannot be fully inserted, remove it and turn the driving device in a 1/4 circle. Try to reinstall the ice container. Repeat until the clamp can be xed in the groove on the two slide ways of the shelf.

Rotate

Driving Device

Precautions When Using the Ice Maker and Cold Water Dispenser

Do not use a cup that is too deep, too narrow, or too soft.

Keep the cup a proper distance from the dispenser.

Raise the cup near the ice outlet to prevent and ice cube jumping or splashing out. If the cup is to close, the ice might break when it hits the bottom. 5 seconds after you take ice, you will here a sound. This is the sound of the ice chute door closing. After you take ice and release the lever, keep your

cup in the ice outlet for 2 - 3 seconds, as cubed ice

might still come out. After you take water, keep your cup under the

dispenser for 2 - 3 seconds, as water might still

come out. Do not pour extra water into the spill shelf. Wipe water dripped form the drink dispenser with a cloth. If you choose cubed ice right after crushed ice, you may get some crushed ice mixed in. If you only use crushed ice, the outlet may become blocked by crushed ice. Remove the remaining crushed ice to continue using.

Do not put a drink bottle or other food in the ice container for fast cooling. This could damage the ice maker.

Do not touch the ice outlet by hand - it may cause injury to

your hand. Do not dismantle the ice maker cover.

Throw out the rst 7 glasses of water and 20 ice cubes to ush out impurities in the pipe. Throw away the rst several

batches of ice cubes after a long period of non use. Do not put purchased cubed ice in the ice container. It may not crush or dispense well. If cubed ice is too small, it means the inlet water amount is

too small. If cubed ice is too big, or there is a water overow

in the ice maker that causes ice blocks to occur, the inlet

water amount is too big. Ice tray ll adjustments can be

made on the Freezer control by pressing the (<) and (>) buttons for 3 seconds until you hear a chime. The display

will read the default setting of 40 (for 4 second water ow in). If you press the (>) button it can raise up ow rate to 60 (a max of 6 second ll rate). Check water tray level to not over ll the ice tray.

NOTE

When you are making cubed ice, the water valve will make a noise. This is normal.
