installed may be discolored by heatfrom the bottom of the refrigerator.

If our refrigerator causesthis kindof

damage, there is something wrong with it. Customers will not stand for this.

Pleasekeep the refrigerator at a proper distance from other things. Too small a distance from adjacent items may result in

lowered freezing capability and increased electricity charges consumption.

Select a placewhere a water supply canbe

easilyconnected between the automatic ice

maker and dispenser.

Installingthe refrigerator in awet or damp area may cause rust and may be an electrical

hazard.

Water supply installation

Before

installation

Warning

Disposal of the

old appliance

• Automatic icemaker operation needs water pressure of 21N121psi (1.5N8.5 kgf/cm2)(That is, an instant paper cup (6 oz. or 180 cc)will be fully filled within

3 seconds.)

• If water pressure does not reach the rating 21 psi (1.5 kgf/cm2)or below, it is necessary to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icing and

cool water feed.

• Keepthe total length of the feed water pipe tube within 26' (8 m). Be careful for the

tube to avoid being kinked. If the tube is26' (8 m) or longer it may cause trouble in water feed owing to the drain water pressure.

• Install the water supply line where it will not be affected by heat.

• Connect to potable water supply only.

This appliance contains fluids (refrigerant and lubricant) and is made of parts and

materials which are reusable and/or recyclable. All the important materials should be sent to the collection center of waste material

and canbe reused after rework (recycling). For recycling,please contact the local agency.

Water connection instruction guide

Connecting

the refrigerator

to a water source

Warning

Tools required

Read all directions carefully before you begin.

Connect to potable water supply only.

• Standard screwdriver

• 7/16-inchand 1/2-inchopen-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

• 1/4-inchnut driver

• 1/4-inchdrill bit

• Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)

Cold water supply

The icemaker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as awater pressure regulator.

The icemaker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure 20 - 120 psi (Ib/inch2)

Connect

the tubing to

water line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure

on the line. It may help to open an outside faucet to allow the water to drain from the line in the house.

3. Finda 1/2-inchvertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.

4. To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from the

connection on the lower left rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 feet (2.1m) to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use 1/4-inchO.D.

(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5. Using a drill, drill a 1/4-inchhole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet

end is solidly in the 1/4"drilled hole in the water pipe and the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws

carefully and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and the compression nut onto the copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it

will go. Screw compression nut onto the outlet end with a wrench. A flare nut wrench works best, but an open end wrench will suffice. Do not overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn on the main water supply. Flush out the tubing until the water is clear. Turn off the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below.

Connect the tubing to

the refrigerator

Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

• If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we recommend installing

one. If your water supply has sand or particles, that could clog the screen of

the refrigerator's water valve. Install the filter in the water line near the

refrigerator.

1/4"Tubing

1. Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve.

2. Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as

shown.

3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

Turn the water on at

the shutoff valve

Tighten any connections that leak.

• Plug in the Refrigerator

Arrange the coil of copper tubing behind the refrigerator so it does not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against the wall. Push the refrigerator

back to the wall. Start the Icemaker

Set the icemaker switch to the ON position The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of 15 °F (-9°C). It will then

begin operation automatically.

The unit is newly installed

• It takes about 12 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to make ice.

CAUTION

Warning

Throw away the first few batches of ice. The first ice and water may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.

This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.

Never store beverage cans or other foods in ice storage bin for the purpose of rapid

cooling. It may damage the automatic ice maker. Shake the bin occasionallyto cause the iceto settle.

Ice may pile up just around the icemaker causing the icemaker to think that the ice

storage bin is full.

If discolored ice is dispensed, contact an Authorized Service Center immediately. Do not use the ice or water until the problem is corrected.

Do not place your hands into the water & ice dispenser

opening. Doing so can result in amputation or cuts.
