Before use, this refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the installation instructions in this manual.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.

When moving your appliance away from the wall, be careful not to roll over the power cord or to damage it in any way. Do not crush or damage the water line.

After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment

, particularly when your hands are damp or wet. Skin could adhere to

these extremely cold surfaces. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet for cleaning or other requirements. Never

touch it with wet hands because you can get an electric shock or be injured. Never damage, bend, kink, pull out, or twist the power cord because damage to the

power cord can cause product failure, fire, or electric shock. If you have doubts the appliance is properly grounded, consult a qualified electrician.

Never place glass products in the freezer because they may be broken from expansion when their contents are frozen.

Never put your hands within the ice storage bin of the automatic icemaker. You can be injured by the operation of the automatic icemaker.

The appliance is not intended for use by young children without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand, or hang on the door. These actions may

damage the refrigerator and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury. Before you move your refrigerator into its final location,

it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection:

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15, or 20 ampere fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection in the event of an emergency.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid any hazard.

Do not modify or extend the Power Cord length.



It will cause electric shock or fire.

The appliance is not intended for use by young children without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Don’t store or use gasoline or other flammable vapor and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding (earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded. improper use of the grounding plug can result in an electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly grounded.

1. Place your appliance where it is easy to use.

2. Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct sunlight, or moisture.

3. To avoid vibrations, the appliance must be leveled.

4. Do not install this refrigerator in areas where the ambient temperature is below 41∞F. It will have an adverse effect on performance.

Door removal

Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.

If your entrance door is too narrow for the refrigerator to pass through, remove the refrigerator door and pass the refrigerator laterally.

•

If a tube end is deformed or abraded, trim the part away. Disconnecting the tube under the door causes about 1.5 litters water to flow out. Please put up a big container to prevent it.

NOTE

•

When removing the upper hinge, be careful that the door does not fall forward .

NOTE

•

After removing the door, take it into the kitchen where you are installing the refrigerator. Lay it down on a blanket and be careful to avoid damaging the water feed tube.

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/inch2) (That is, a 7oz. paper cup will be filled 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 filter kit for installation.

Mount the doors in the reverse order of removal after the refrigerator is brought to the installation area.

to a Water Source

Connect to potable water supply only.

Warning

•

If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn icemaker to the OFF 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

The icemaker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water pressure regulator.

The icemaker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure 30~120psi(lb/inch2)

Cold Water Supply



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-off 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 flow and clogs more easily.

NOTE

Installation

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 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.

Operation Instruction Guide

Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

• If your refrigerator does not

have a water filter, we 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.
