Removing/Assembling the Refrigerator Doors

When it is necessary to move the refrigerator through a narrow opening, removing the doors is the recommended procedure.

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard Disconnect electrical supply to refrigerator before installing. Failure to do so could result in death or seriuos injury.

Before removing freezer door, disconnenct water line connectors (one white tube, one blue tube). NOTE: Do not remove freezer door if either the white or blue tube is still connected. Use the support block shipped on the upper shelf in the refrigerator to keep the front of the refrigerator tilted up while removing the connectors.

Support Block

If your entrance door is too narrow for the refrigerator to pass through, remove the refrigerator doors and move the refrigerator sideways through the doorway. Use two or more people to remove and install the refrigerator doors. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Disconnnect the electrical supply to the refrigerator before installation. Failure to do so coud result in serious injury or death. Do not put hands, feet or the other objects into the air vents or bottom of the refrigerator. You may be injured or receive an electrical shock. Be careful when handling the hinge and stopper. You may be injured. Remove food bins before detaching the doors and drawers.

15INSTALLATION

Connecting the Water Line

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 ooding. Call a qualied 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.

CAUTION

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

Water Pressure

You will need a cold water supply. The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (138 – 827 kPa) on models without a water lter and between 40 and 120 psi (276 – 827 kPa) on models with a water lter. If the water pressure does not reach the minimum required pressure, a separate booster pump may be required

for normal automatic icemaker and cool water

dispensing operation.

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

If a reverse osmosis water ltration 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 - 413 kPa, or less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to ll a cup of 7 oz capacity).

CAUTION

Wear eye protection during installation to prevent injury.

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 21 psi or 1.5 kgf/cm2 (takes more than 4 sec. to ll a cup of 7 oz capacity):

Check to see if the sediment lter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.

Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell after

If the issue concerning water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualied plumber.

What You Will Need

Copper 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 sucient 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. Keep the total length of the feed water pipe tube within 26 ft (8 m). Be careful to avoid getting a kink in the tube. If the tube is longer than 26 ft (8 m), it may cause the water feed to malfunction.

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.

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.

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

21OPERATION

Control Panel

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The colder the setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air ow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it colder.

Airﬂow

Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food section and back again through air vents in the wall dividing the two sections. Be sure not to block vents while packing your refrigerator. Doing so will restrict airow and may cause the refrigerator temperature to become too warm or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air ow diagram below.)

IMPORTANT:

Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors.

To prevent odor transfer and dried out food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section for details.)

If you close the refrigerator door, you

may see the freezer door open and close again due to pressure from internal air ow.

signals. If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response

signal from the utility company, the refrigerator will turn on the Grid LED on the refrigerator display and control its power consumption according to the signal.

The refrigerator will respond to the signals received from the utility company as long as product performance is maintained.

If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response signal, the refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance Load (DAL) or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR) mode.

Delay Appliance Load (DAL)

The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by providing a moderate load reduction for the duration of the delay period.

This mode controls functions that consume a lot of energy such as adjusting the cooling system, running the defrost cycle, and making ice.

x When the refrigerator operates in DAL mode, the

Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator display.

x DAL mode is automatically deactivated after the

period stipulated by the DAL signal (max. 4 hours) or when you override the Smart Grid function.

Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR)

The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by aggressively reducing the load for a short time period, typically 10 minutes. This mode reduces energy consumption by stopping the compressor and controlling the functions that consume a lot of energy such as the defrost cycle and fan.

x When the refrigerator operates in TALR mode, the

Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator display.

x TALR mode is automatically deactivated after the

received duration (max. 10 minutes), or when you override the Smart Grid function. The mode is immediately deactivated and the refrigerator returns to its normal state when the door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used.

Override Smart Grid Mode

To ignore the Demand Response signal from the utility company and override the Smart Grid function, push the Smart Grid button while the refrigerator is in Smart Grid mode.

When you override the Smart Grid function, the refrigerator ignores the Demand Response signal and is no longer controlled by the utility company until the next Demand Response signal is sent. You can also override the Smart Grid function using the smart phone app.

It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full ice production to occur. Ice making stops when the ice storage bin is full. When full, the ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz) glasses of ice. To t the automatic icemaker, set the Ice ON/OFF button on the display to
