Proper Disposal of Your Old
Refrigerator
DANGER : Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
■ Take off the doors.
■ Leave the shelves in place so that children cannot easily climb
inside.
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or
brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Scrapped or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous—even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help avoid accidents.
Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants:
Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

Final Steps
WARNING
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.
1. Plug into an grounded (earthed) socket.
2. Return all removable parts and food to the drawers.
Refrigerator Levelling
1. Move refrigerator to its nal location.
2. Using hand, rotate the brake feet. Turn them counterclockwise
until the rollers are off the oor and both brake feet are snug against the oor. This keeps refrigerator from rolling forward when opening the doors.
Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure between 20 psi and 145 psi (138 kPa and 1000 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied plumber.
NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the ow of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out
of a reverse osmosis system and supplying the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 20 psi and 145 psi (138 kPa and 1000 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water ltration system is connected to your home 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).
■ Check to see whether the sediment lter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.
■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell
after heavy use. The tank capacity could be too small to keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator. NOTE: Faucet-mounted reverse osmosis systems are not recommended.
■ If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce
the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water lter. See the “Water Filtration System” section.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied plumber.
Connect the Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■ Connect to potable water supply only.
A. Brake feet
A
IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments
involving brake feet, you must turn both brake feet same amount to keep the refrigerator level.
3. Use a level to make sure refrigerator is level from side to side and front to back.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
■ Plumbing must be installed in accordance with the
International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.
■ Copper and PEX tubing connections from the household
water line to the refrigerator are acceptable and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice or water. Check for leaks.
If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the following: 7 ft (2.14 m) jacketed PEX, 5 ft (1.52 m) PEX, or 25 ft (7.62 m) PEX.
■ Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain
above freezing.
Tools Needed:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
■ Flat-blade screwdriver
■ 7/16" and 1/2" open-end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches
■ 1/4" nut driver
NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve, which reduces water ow and clogs easier.

Connect to Water Line
Connect to Refrigerator
IMPORTANT: If you have turned the refrigerator on before the
water was connected, turn off the ice maker.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long
enough to reduce water pressure in the water line.
3. Use a 3/4-14" shut-off valve or equivalent. The refrigerator is provided with a household supply line with the installation kit that connects to the shut-off valve and to the refrigerator.
NOTE: Appliance is equipped with a water installation kit. To assure proper connection to your water supply, use proper sealing material in the connection. Check if connection is sealed properly after some hours of operation.

:
a fresh supply.
n
If the ow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure.
n With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (0.2 L)
of water. If 1 cup (0.2 L) of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.
