Where it is free
from heat
Select a place where a water supply can be
easily connected between the automatic ice
maker and dispenser.
Installing the refrigerator in a wet or damp
area may cause rust and may be an electrical
hazard.
If this refrigerator is installed where the
ambient temperature is high, the freezing
capacity is deteriorated and the cost of
electricity used increases.
NOTE
•
Install the refrigerator at a place where the ambient temperature is 5˚C ~ 43˚C
(41˚F~110˚F).
Ambient temperature outside this range may cause product malfunction. Also, the
tube between the dispenser and automatic ice maker may freeze.

Feed water tube installation
Push the refrigerator sideways through the
entrance door as shown in the right picture.
Automatic icemaker operation needs water pressure of 21.3~121psi(lb/inc h2) (That
is, a 7oz. paper cup will be lled within 3 sec.).
If water pressure does not reach the rated 21.3psi(lb/inch2) or below, it is necessary
to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icemaking and cool
water feed.
Keep the total length of the water feed tube within 40 feet and be careful not to
bend or kink the tube. If the tube is longer than 40 feet, the icemaker and water
dispenser will not operate properly.
Install the water feed tube at a place free from heat.
Connect to potable water supply only.
Refer to instructions with water lter kit for installation.
Mount the doors in the reverse order of
removal after the refrigerator is brought to
the installation area.

Water Connection Instruction Guide
Read all directions carefully before you begin.
Connecting
the Refrigerator
to a Water Source
•
If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn icemaker
to theOFF position to prevent operation without water.
•
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
•
Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
•
Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.
•
It may take up to 24 hours for your icemaker to begin producing ice.
IMPORTANT
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)
Tools Required
•
Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4-inch saddle-type shut-o valve,
a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16-inch
saddle valve which reduces water ow and clogs more easily.
NOTE
Screwdriver
Adjustable wrenches
Electric drill
NOTE:
Check the direction of the level hinge.

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.
Connect
the Tubing to
Water Line
•
Horizontal pipe will work, but the following precaution must be taken: Drill on the top of the pipe
not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment
from collecting in the valve.
NOTE
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 cooper
tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect
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 zinc, 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.

recommend installing one. If
your water supply has sand or
particles that could clog the
screen of the refrigerator’s
water valve. Install the filter in
the water line near the
refrigerator.
1. Remove the plastic flexible
cap from the water valve.
2. Place the compression nut and
ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of
the tubing as shown.
3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the connection as far as possible. While
holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

cooling. Such actions may damage the automatic ice maker.
- Never remove the icemaker cover.
- Shake the bin occasionally to cause the ice to settle.
- Ice may pile up just around the icemaker causing the icemaker to think that the ice
storage bin is full.
- If discolored ice is dispensed, contact an Authorized Service Center immediately.
Do not use the ice or water until the problem is corrected.
CAUTION
