6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air out the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
CAUTION
CAUTION
•To reduce the risk of minor or moderate injury to persons, malfunction, or damage to the product or property when using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Installation
•Do not install the refrigerator where there may be a danger of the unit falling.
•The refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Operation
•Do not use aerosols near the refrigerator.
•This appliance is intended to be used only in domestic and similar applications.
•Do not strike or apply excessive force to any glass surface. Do not touch glass surfaces if they are cracked or broken.
•Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or personal injury if items are removed with excessive force.
•Do not hang on to or place heavy objects on the refrigerator’s dispenser.
Maintenance
•Do not use strong detergents like wax or thinners for cleaning. Clean with a soft cloth.
•Remove foreign objects (such as dust and water) off the prongs of the power plug and contact areas. Do not use a wet or damp cloth when cleaning the plug.
•Do not spray water directly on the inside or outside of the refrigerator.
•Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. They may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes.

14 INSTALLATION
Dimensions and Clearances
•Check the dimensions of the appliance and the installation path to ensure there is sufficient room to move the refrigerator through doors or narrow openings.
•If an opening is too narrow to fit the refrigerator through, remove the refrigerator doors. See Removing/ Assembling the Doors and Drawers in this manual.
•The installation location chosen for the refrigerator should allow space behind the unit for connections and airflow and space in front to open the doors and drawers.
•Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24 inches (610 mm) in front of the refrigerator to open the doors, and at least 2 inches (50.8 mm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.

Connecting the Water Line |
• If the water pressure remains low, call a |
|
licensed, qualified plumber. |
Before Beginning
This water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.
If necessary, call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator. Water banging in the pipes (water hammer) in residential plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding.
•Turn the icemaker OFF if the refrigerator will be used before the water line is connected.
•Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where the ambient temperatures fall below freezing.
WARNING
• Connect to potable water supply only.
CAUTION
•To prevent burns and product damage, only connect the refrigerator water line to a cold water supply.
•Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.
•All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Supplies Needed
•Copper or PEX Tubing, ¼ in. 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 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.
•Power drill.
•½ in. or adjustable wrench.
•Flat-blade and Phillips screwdrivers.
•Two ¼ in. outer diameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.
Water Pressure
You will need a cold water supply.
Water Pressure
•Models with water filter:
-20 - 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa)
•Where reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to a cold water supply:
-40 - 60 psi minimum to reverse osmosis system (2.8 kgf/cm2 - 4.2 kgf/cm2, or less than 2 - 3 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity)
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis
system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/cm2 (takes more than 4 seconds to fill a cup of 7 oz or 198 cc 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 your existing copper water line has a flared fitting at the end, purchase an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and 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 in. at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure
INSTALLATION 23
a saddle-type valve complies with your local |
NOTE |
plumbing codes. |
NOTE
•A self-piercing saddle type water valve should not be used.
•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.
Water Line Installation Instructions
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.
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.
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 ¼ in. 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 ¼ in. hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.
4 Fasten the shutoff valve.
•Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.
NOTE
•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.
aPipe Clamp
bSaddle-Type Shutoff Valve
cVertical Cold Water Pipe
5 Tighten the pipe clamp.
•Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.
NOTE
•Do not over tighten the clamp or you may crush the tubing.
