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 kPa
~ 414 kPa, or less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz (0.1 L) 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 (145 kPa)
(takes more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz (0.1 liters 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 (6.4mm). 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 (2.7 mm). or adjustable wrench.
Flat blade and Phillips head screwdrivers.
Two ¼ in (6.4mm). outer diameter compression
nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve.
If your existing copper water line has a flared fitting 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 off
the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.
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 (4mm). at the
point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff
valves are included in many water supply kits.
Before
purchasing, make sure
a saddle-
type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
NOTE
A self-piercing saddle type water valve should not be used.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard:
When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is battery powered, double insulated or grounded in a manner that will prevent the hazard of electric shock.

16 INSTALLATION
Water Line Installation Instructions
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.
1SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.
2CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
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 water pipe.
3DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE Drill a ¼ in (6.4 mm). 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.
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.

HOW TO USE 19
HOW TO USE
Before Use
Clean the refrigerator.
Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust that accumulated during
shipping.
CAUTION
Do not scratch the refrigerator with a sharp object or use a detergent that contains alcohol, a flammable liquid or an abrasive when removing any tape or adhesive from the refrigerator,.
Do not peel off the model or serial number label or the technical information on the rear surface of the refrigerator.
NOTE
Remove adhesive residue by wiping it off with your thumb or dish detergent.
Connect the power supply.

<![endif]>ENGLISH
The inside of the refrigerator may smell like plastic at first. Remove any adhesive tape from inside the refrigerator and open the refrigerator and freezer doors for ventilation.
<![endif]>ENGLISH
20 HOW TO USE
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 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.)
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.)
NOTE: If you close the refrigerator door, you may see the freezer door open and close again due to pressure from internal air flow.

Automatic Icemaker
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the dispenser. The icemaker will produce 5 cubes per cycle - approximately 90 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 fills to the level of the shutoff arm. When full, the ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz, 0.3-0.4 L) glasses of ice.
To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the power switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker, set the power switch to ON (I).
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (138 to 827 kPa) on models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi (276 to 827 kPa) on models with
a water filter to produce the normal amount and size of ice cubes.
The ice cube size selector button is used to compensate for high or low water pressure. If you have low water pressure coming to your refrigerator, you may need to select the highest setting. For high water pressure, select a lower setting.
WARNING
Connect to potable water only.
When You Should Turn the Icemaker Off
Set the power switch to OFF (O):
When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.
When the ice bin is removed for more than one or two minutes.
When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied when the power switch is set to OFF (O).
NOTE: Do not dispense ice continuously for more than 30 sec.
HOW TO USE 23

24 HOW TO USE
Automatic Icemaker (continued)
CAUTION
The first ice and water dispensed may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 24 cubes). This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.
If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a qualified service center. Do not use the ice or water until until the problem is corrected.
Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may play with or damage the controls.
The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates by removing the ice bin and clearing the passage with a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help prevent frost buildup.
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 before filling it 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 affected.
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.
Ice Storage Bin
The ice bin stores the ice cubes made by the icemaker. If you need to remove the ice storage bin, do so as follows:
NOTE: Use both hands to remove the ice bin to avoid dropping it.

HOW TO USE 27
Storing Frozen Food
Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs. (0.9-1.3 kg) of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and
the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.
