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 (1.5kgf/cm 2)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-inch and 1/2-inch open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches
• 1/4-inch nut driver
• 1/4-inch drill 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
30-120psi(Ib/inch _)
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. Find a 1/2-inch to 1-1/4-inch vertical 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-inch O.D.
(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut
square.
5. Using a drill, drill a 1/4-inch hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.
6. Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is
solidly in the 1/4-inch drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is
under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws
carefully and evenly so 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 compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown.
Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw
compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not over tighten.
8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn ON main
water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shutoff valve
on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below.

Cautions
Throw away the ice (about 20 pieces) and water (about 7 glasses) first made
after refrigerator installation.
This is also necessary when the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
Keep children away from the dispenser.
Children may play with or damage the controls.
Be careful that food does not block the ice passage.
If foods are placed at the entrance of ice passage, the
dispenser may malfunction. The passage may also
become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used.
Remove the frost that accumulates.
Storing cans or other items in the ice bin may
damage the icemaker or the container may burst.
Never usethin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
Such glasses or containers may be broken, and glass fragments could be in the ice.
Put ice first into a glass before filling water or other beverages.
Water may be splashed if ice is added to existing liquid in a glass.
Keep your hands out of the ice door and passage.
You might break something or injure yourself.
Never remove the ice maker cover.
Shake the ice bin occasionally to level the ice in it.
Sometimes the ice piles up near the icemaker, causing the icemaker to
misinterpret the bin level and stop producing ice.
If you find ice or water dispensed unexpectedly, contact an Authorized
Service Center. (Call 1-800-243-0000 24/7 and select the option to locate an
authorized servicer.)
Never usetoo narrow or deep glass.
Ice may be jammed in the ice passage and, thus, the refrigerator may fail.
Keep the glass at a proper distance from ice outlet.
A glass too close to the outlet may prevent ice from coming out.

Storing Foods
• Storefresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food isfrozenandthawed isan
important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
• Do not store food which spoils easilyat low temperatures, such as bananasand
melons.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placinghot food in the refrigerator could spoil
other food, and leadto higher energy consumption.
• When storing the food, cover itwith vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This
prevents moisture from evaporating,and helpsfood to keep itstaste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulationof chilled air keeps refrigerator
temperatures even.
• Do notopen the door frequently. Openingthe door letswarm air enterthe refrigerator,
and cause temperatures to rise.
• Never keep too much food in door rackbecause they may push against by inner racks
so that the door cannot be fully closed.
Freezer
Compartment
Refrigerator
Compartment
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrient.
• When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer
shelf, not in the door rack.
• Do not touch the cold foods or containers- especially made of metallic -, with wet
hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment.
-That'swhy you may havechilblainsandthey may be broken when their inner matters
arefrozen,causingpersonal injury.
• Avoid placing moist food intop refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct
contact with chilled air.
• Always cleanfood prior to refrigeration.Vegetables and fruits should be washed and
wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
• When storing eggs in their storage rackor box, ensurethat they are fresh,and always
store them inanupright position, which keeps them fresh longer.
