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 4.0 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.

HOW TO USE 21
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.

24 HOW TO USE
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.
WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
DO NOT place 
ngers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
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 turn o
the automatic icemaker, set the Ice ON/OFF button on the display to Ice O
.To turn on the automatic icemaker, set the ON/OFF button on the display to Ice On .
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi ( 138 – 827 kPa ) on models without a w
tween 40 and 120 psi on ( 276 – 827 kPa ) models with a w
and size of ice cubes.

NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied any time the Ice ON/OFF button is set to the Ice O
mode.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qua
technician drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to 
caused by ruptured water lines or connections.
Power Failure
During a power failure, ice may drop into the freezer compartment. Remove the ice storage bin and discard all the ice. Dry the storage bin and reinstall it. Once power is restored, crushed ice will be selected by default.
NOTE: Do not dispense ice continuously for more than 30 sec. Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
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 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.

Storing Frozen Food
NOTE
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. 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.
NOTE
Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.
