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
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).

What You Will Need
y 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.
y Power drill.y ½ in. or adjustable
wrench.
y Flat blade and Phillips

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

tubing.
Route the tubing between the cold water
line and the refrigerator.
Route the tubing through a hole drilled in
the wall or oor (behind the refrigerator or
adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as
possible.
NOTE
Be sure there is sucient extra tubing (about
8 feet (2,4 m) coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in.
(0,25 m) diameter) to allow the refrigerator to

Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs—
one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the
legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or side-toside. If your refrigerator seems unsteady, or you
want the doors to close more easily, adjust the
refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:
NOTE: Tools Required: 11/16” (18mm) wrench
ewdriver.
1 Turn the leveling leg counterclockwise
to raise that side of the refrigerator or
clockwise to lower it. It may take several
turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of
the refrigerator.

tape from inside the refrigerator and open the refrigerator and freezer doors for

21HOW 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.)
If you close the refrigerator door, you
NOTE:
may see the freezer door open and close again
due to pressure from internal air flow.

Food Storage Tips
* The following tips may not be applicable
depending on the model.
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight
and moisture-proof material unless otherwise
noted. This prevents food odor and taste
transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated
products, check date code to ensure freshness.
FoodHow To
Butter or
Margarine
Cheese
Milk
Eggs
Fruit
Leafy
Vegetables
Keep opened butter in a covered
dish or closed compartment.
When storing an extra supply, wrap in
freezer packaging and freeze.
Store in the original wrapping
until you are ready to use it.
Once opened, rewrap tightly in
plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Wipe milk cartons. For coldest
milk, place containers on an
interior shelf.
Store in original carton on interior
shelf, not on door shelf.
Do not wash or hull the fruit
until it is ready to be used. Sort
and keep fruit in its original
container, in a crisper, or store in a
completely closed paper bag on a
refrigerator shelf.
Remove store wrapping and trim
or tear off bruised and discolored
areas. Wash in cold water and
drain. Place in plastic bag or
plastic container and store in
vegetable drawer.
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.
