1. INSTALLATION

1) To protect refrigerator in movement

Use padded hand truck from side only.

2)Remove all protective tape and pad from the refrigerators.

Connect power cord. Adjust the clearance between the doors.

3)Temperature controls and preset in the factory for

recommended settings.

The refrigerator should runs smoothly and lower the temperature gradually.

4) Once the refrigerator temperature is sufficiently low

It is recommended to store foods in the refrigerator. It takes a few hours to reach the preset temperatures.

10. INSTALLATION OF THE WATER LINE

10-1) Before You Install the water line

This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

Banging pipes (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct the problem before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insulated or wired in a manner to prevent electric shock.

All installations must be in a accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

10-2) Connecting to water supply line

-Shut off the main water supply line and turn the Ice maker to the off position.

-Locate the nearest cold drinking water line.

-Follow the instructions in the ice maker installation kit.

-After connecting the water supply with water filter, turn on water supply and flush 4 or more gallons into bucket to clear the water filter

1.Cold Water line

2.Pipe Clamp. 3.Copper (or Plastic) line 4.Compression Nut 5.Compression Sleeve 6.Shut Off Valve 7.Packing Nut.

10-3) Connect the water line to the refrigerator

-Slip the compression nut through the plastic tube.

-After inserting the compression nut into plastic tube,

tighten the compres-sion nut onto 1/4” compression fitting(union).

Do not overtighten the compression nut.

NOTE

- Slip the compression ferrule and nut on copper(or plastic) tubing as shown.

After inserting the sleeve, tighten the comperssion nut onto the com-pression fitting(union).

- Turn water on and check for any leakege.

- You can purchase the necessary parts through BEST BUY.

NOTE

- Waterline must be connected to drinkable water only

 

 

- Compression fitting and nut will be given inside of ice bucket.
