tor to the right top to cover the holes. Cover is also force-fitted.

Connecting the Water Line

Before You Begin

This water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and can lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, only connect the refrigerator water line to a cold water supply.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the OFF (O) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

CAUTION

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 (2,8 kgf/cm

kgf/cm oz capacity).

If the water pressure from the system is less than 21 psi or 1,5 kgf/cm than 4,0 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity):

, less than 2,0~3,0 seconds to fill a cup of 7

CAUTION

Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.

reverse osmosis

Check to see if 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 the issue concerning water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

What you will need

Copper Tubing, 1/4 inch (6,35 mm) outer diameter, to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square. To determine how much tubing you need: measure the distance from the water valve on the back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then, add 8 feet (2,4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2,4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 inch [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

Power drill. 1/2 inch (12,7 mm) or adjustable

wrench. Flat blade and Phillips head

screwdrivers. Two 1/4 inch (6,35 mm) outer

diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper tubing to the

shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.

INSTALLATION

If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting at the end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.

Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of 5/32 inch (3,46 mm) at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddletype shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

NOTE

A self piercing saddle type water valve should not be used.

Water Line Installation Instructions

WARNING

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is battery powered, double insulated or grounded in a manner that will prevent the hazard of electric shock.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.

SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.

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.

NOTE

The hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing (NDA tubing #49595 or #49599) or Cross Link Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about 8 feet (244 mm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10 inch (25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.

Leveling and Door Alignment

Leveling

After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator into the final position.

Your refrigerator has three front leveling legs (one on the right and one on the left). Adjust the legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:

NOTE: Third leveling screw is used for protection of hinge lower.

Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE

A flare nut wrench works best, but an openend wrench will suffice. Do not over-tighten.

Open both doors again and check to make sure

that they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling legs to the left. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same amount.
