9 INSTALLATION
Unpacking the Refrigerator
WARNING
Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
The refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.
Remove tape and any temporary labels from your refrigerator before using. Do not remove any warning-type labels or the model and serial number labels.
NOTE: Remove protective film on doors before plugging in the unit (on some models).
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator.
Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping position. Please reinstall shelves according to your individual storage needs.
Choosing the Proper Location
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 230 V~50 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 A.
This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
Flooring
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be leveled and installed on a solidly constructed floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right to lower it (See Leveling section).
NOTE
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform or weakly supported structure is not recommended.
Ambient Temperature
Install this appliance in an area where the temperature is between 55 °F (13 °C) and 110 °F (43 °C). If the temperature around the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.
Measuring the Clearances
Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24 inches (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to open the doors, and at least 2 inches (5,08 cm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.

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.
CAUTION
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.
CAUTION
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
CAUTION
Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 21 psi or 1,5 kgf/cm2 (takes more than 4,0 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity):
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
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.

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.
1 SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.
2 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.
3 DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 1/4 inch (6,35 mm) hole in
the water pipe using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting
from drilling the hole in the pipe. Be careful not to allow water to
drain into the drill. Failure to drill
a 1/4 inch (6,35 mm) hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.
5 TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.
NOTE: Do not overtighten the clamp or you may crush the tubing.

6 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 floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.
NOTE
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.

11 PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR
Arrange the coil of tubing so that it does not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against the wall. Push the refrigerator back to the wall.
12 START THE ICEMAKER
Set the icemaker power switch to the ON position. The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of 15 °F (–9 °C) or below. It will then begin operation automatically if the icemaker power switch is in the ON (I) position.
8 FLUSH OUT THE TUBING
Turn the main water supply on and flush out the tubing until the water is clear. Shut the water off at the water valve after about one quart of water has been flushed through the tubing.
9CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR
NOTE: Before making the connection to the Refrigerator, be sure that the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
a)Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve.
b)Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown.
c)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.
CAUTION
Check to see if leaks occur at the water line connections.
Turning On The Power
1 Plug in the refrigerator.
CAUTION
Connect to a rated power outlet.
Have a certified electrician check the wall outlet and wiring for proper grounding.
Do not damage or cut off the ground terminal of the power plug.
Used hose-sets should not be used, only use the new hose-sets supplied by the manufacturer.
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.
1Turn 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.

<![if ! IE]><![endif]>ENGLISH
NOTE
A flare nut wrench works best, but an openend wrench will suffice. Do not over-tighten.
2 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.
Door Alignment
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the doors:
1 Gently pry off the Top Hinge Cover with a flat head screwdriver and remove.
2 Loosen the Top Hinge Bolts using a 10 mm or 13/32 inch socket wrench or openend wrench.
3Have someone hold the freezer door so the space between the two doors is even, and retighten the top hinge bolts.
4Replace the Top Hinge Cover.
