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 qualied 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 rell after
If the issue concerning water pressure
from reverse osmosis remains, call a
licensed, qualied plumber.
All installations must be in accordance
with local plumbing code requirements.

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 sucient 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.

CAUTION

The refrigerator makes a loud noise after initial operation.
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 airow 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

Smart Grid Function
When the refrigerator operates in Smart Grid mode,
the Smart Refrigerator function can control energy
usage or delay the operation of some functions to
save energy during peak usage periods.
x You can override the Smart Grid function any time
(using the Smart Grid button or application).
x To use the Smart Grid function, you need to register
your appliance with your electric utility company.

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.

Automatic Icemaker
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent

cubes per cycle - approximately 70-120 cubes in
a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number
of door openings and other operating conditions.
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
