INSTALLATION

Connecting the Water Line

ENGLISH

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.

Water Pressure

The water pressure must be 20~120 psi or 138~827 kPa or 1.4~8.4 kgf/cm² on models without a water filter and 40~120 psi or 276~827 kPa or 2.8~8.4 kgf/cm² on models with a water filter.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, this water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow the instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

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 (276~414 kPa or

2.8~4.2 kgf/cm², less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity).

CAUTION

Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.

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 4.0 sec 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 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,

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.

NOTE

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.

ENGLISH

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.

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.

INSTALLATION

Leveling and Door Alignment

ENGLISH

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

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.

Door Alignment

The left refrigerator door has an adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower the door for proper alignment.

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the doors:

Use the wrench (included with the Use & Care Guide) to turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height. left to lower the height.

Turn it to the right to raise or to the

NOTE

A flare nut wrench works best, but an open-end 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.

HOW TO USE

Before use

Clean the refrigerator.

Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust that accumulated during shipping.

Do not scratch the refrigerator with a sharp object or use a detergent that

contains alcohol, a flammable liquid or an abrasive when removing any tape or adhesive from the refrigerator,. Do not peel off the model or serial number label or the technical information

on the rear surface of the refrigerator.

Remove adhesive residue by wiping it off with your thumb or dish detergent.

Connect the power supply.

Check if the power supply is connected before use. Read the “Turning On The Power” section.

Turn off the icemaker if the refrigerator is not yet connected to the water supply.

Turn off the automatic icemaker and then plug the power plug of the refrigerator into the grounded electric outlet.

* This is applicable only to certain models.

CAUTION

NOTE

CAUTION

Running the automatic icemaker before connecting it to the water supply may cause the refrigerator to malfunction.

Wait for the refrigerator to cool.

Allow your refrigerator to run for at least two to three hours before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.

CAUTION

Putting food in the refrigerator before it has cooled could cause the food to spoil, or a bad odor could linger inside the refrigerator.

The refrigerator makes a loud noise after initial operation.

This is normal. The volume will decrease as the temperature lowers.

Open refrigerator doors and freezer drawers to ventilate the interior.

The inside of the refrigerator may smell like plastic at first. Remove any adhesive tape from inside the refrigerator and open the refrigerator doors and the freezer drawers for ventilation.

In-Door Ice Bin

ENGLISH

HOW TO USE

* Depending on the model, some of the

following functions may not be available.

CAUTION

Keep hands and tools out of the ice

compartment door and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result in damage or personal injury.

The icemaker will stop producing ice when

the in-door ice bin is full. If you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin in the freezer compartment. During use, the ice can become uneven causing the icemaker to misread the amount of ice cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking the ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce this problem.

Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will

damage the icemaker. Keep the ice compartment door closed

tightly. If the ice compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold air in the ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator compartment. This could also cause the icemaker to stop producing ice.

If the O

N/OFF switch on the icemaker is set to OFF for an extended period of time, the ice compartment will gradually warm up to the temperature of the refrigerator compartment. To prevent ice cubes from melting and leaking from the dispenser, ALWAYS empty the ice bin when the icemaker is set to OFF for more than a few hours.

To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the

front handle, slightly lift the lower part, and slowly pull out the bin as shown.

Assembling the In-Door Ice Bin

Carefully insert the in-door ice bin while

slightly slanting it to avoid contact with the icemaker.

Avoid touching the ice-detecting sensor

when replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice compartment door for details.

Detaching the In-Door Ice Bin

Gently pull the handle to open the ice

compartment.

Ice-detecting sensor

CAUTION

When handling the ice bin, keep hands away from the icemaker tray area to avoid personal injury.
