INSTALLATION 15

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 flooding. Call a qualified 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 filter and between 40 and 120 psi (276 – 827 kPa) on models with a water filter. 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 filtration 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 filtration 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 fill 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 fill a cup of 7 oz capacity): Check to see if the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

If the issue concerning water pressure from reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified 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 sufficient 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.

Power drill.

½ in. or adjustable wrench.

Flat blade and Phillips head screwdrivers.

Two ¼ in. outer diameter compression

nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.

ENGLISH

ENGLISH

16 INSTALLATION

If your existing copper water line has a red tting at the end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line

to the refrigerator OR you can cut o

the ared tting with a tube cutter and then use a compression tting.

Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line.The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shuto valves are included in many water supply kits.

Before

purchasing, make sure

a saddle-

type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

Choose a location

for the valve that is easily accessible. It is

best to connect into the side of a vertical water pipe. When it is necessary to connect

into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection to the top or side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the ater pipe.

3DRILLTHE HOLE FORTHE VALVE

Drill a ¼ in. hole in

the water pipe using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting

from drilling the hole in the pipe. Be

careful not to allow water to drain into

the drill. Failure to drill a ¼ in. hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.

NOTE

Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and their use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with a licensed plumber.

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell.

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

OPERATION 21

Control Panel

IMPORTANT:

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 flow 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 airflow and may cause the refrigerator temperature to become too warm or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air flow diagram below.)

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.)

NOTE: If you close the refrigerator door, you may see the freezer door open and close again due to pressure from internal air flow.

OPERATION 29

Automatic Icemaker

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce 7 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 ice.

To tthe automatic icemaker, set the Ice ON/OFF button on the display to To turn on the automatic icemaker, set the ON/OFF button on the display to Ice On.

Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.

Dispense ice into a glass bef with water or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.

Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator performance may be a ected.

Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice from dispensing. To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice door and passage.

Never remove the dispenser cover.

In-Door Ice Bin

The icemaker stops producing ice when the indoor ice bin is full. To make room for additional ice, empty the ice bin into another location in the freezer

compartment. During use, the ice may stack unevenly in the bin, causing the icemaker to misread the level in the bin and stop producing ice. Shaking the ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce this problem.
