STEP 6 Connect the water dispenser line (applicable models only)

A water dispenser with a lter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the water lter removes unwanted particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that.

The water line also connects to the ice maker. For the ice maker to operate properly, water pressure of 30 to 120 psi (206 to 827 kPa) psi is required.

If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 30 psi / 206 kPa), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

After you have connected the water line, make sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly lled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever until water runs from the water outlet.

NOTE

• Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your retailer. We recommend using a water line installation kit that contains copper tubing and a 1/4" (6 mm) compression nut.

1. Shut off the main water source.

2. Insert the pipe clamp (B) and the shutoff

valve (C) into the cold water line (A).

3. Connect the water line installation kit (A) to the shutoff valve (B).

CAUTION

Do not mount the water lter on any part of the refrigerator. This may damage the refrigerator.

1. Connect the household water line to the assembled compression tting.

- If you are using copper tubing, slip the compression nut (07) (not supplied) and ferrule (not supplied) on the copper tubing (not supplied) as shown.

- If you are using plastic tubing (08), insert the molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing (08) into the compression tting.

CAUTION

• If you use plastic tubing (08), do not use it without the molded end (Bulb).

• Leaving the water line disconnected may cause the water valve to produce a buzzing sound over time. If this is the case, make sure that the ice making function is turned “OFF” and do not attempt to use the water dispenser.

2. Tighten the compression nut (07) onto the compression tting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut (07).

3. Turn the water on and check for any leakage. If you nd water drops or leakage in the connection areas, turn off the main water supply. Check the connections and, if necessary, tighten.

4. Flush 1 gallon of water through the lter before drinking or using the water from the refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) To ush, press a large glass or cup against the water dispenser lever. Fill the glass, empty it, and then repeat.

5. After you turn on the refrigerator, let the ice maker make ice for 1 to 2 days. Over that period of time, throw out the rst 1 or 2 buckets of ice the ice maker makes to ensure all impurities have been removed from the water line.

NOTE

Only connect the water line to a potable water source.

• If you have to repair or disassemble the water line, cut off 1/4“ of the plastic tubing to make sure you get a snug, leak-free connection.

• You can test the water line quickly using a paper cup. Under normal conditions, the water dispenser can ll a 5 3/4 oz. (170 cc) cup in about 10 seconds.

SMART GRID Function (Demand Response) (applicable models only)

When the refrigerator operates in SMART GRID (Demand Response) mode, the Energy Management Refrigerator function can control energy usage or delay the operation of some functions to save money when energy prices or demand are the highest.

NOTE

• You can deactivate the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function at any time using the Peak Demand Off function.

• To use the SMART GRID (Demand Response) function, you need a separate contract with your electric utility company.

In addition, to use the Smart Grid (Demand Response) function, you must register for the service with your electric company. The company must have an EMS (Energy Management System) that supports SEP (Smart Energy prole).

Using the SMART GRID (Demand Response) Function

This feature monitors energy prices and demand information from your utility company and sends notications to the refrigerator to run high energy consuming tasks during offpeak times when electricity costs and demand are lower.

If the refrigerator receives a control signal from the utility company, the refrigerator will display the DAL (L3) ~ TALR (L4) levels on the refrigerator display and control the power consumption according to the level.

[Exception condition] The DAL and TALR control signals from a utility company work as long as product performance is maintained.

If the refrigerator receives the SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal (DAL or TALR), the refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance Load (Display:L3) or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (Display:L4) mode.

• Delay Appliance Load (L3): The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by providing a moderate load reduction for the duration of the delay period. This function controls functions that consume a lot of energy such as adjusting the Cooling system, running the defrost cycle, and making ice.

- When the refrigerator operates in DAL (L3) mode, “L3” is displayed on the

refrigerator display.

- DAL mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the amount of time stipulated

by the DAL signal (max. 4.5 hours) or when the Peak Demand Off key is pressed.

• Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (L4): The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by aggressively reducing the load for a short time period. This function reduces energy consumption by stopping the compressor and controlling the functions that consume a lot of energy such as the defrost cycle and making ice.

- When the refrigerator operates in TALR (L4) mode, “L4” is displayed on the

refrigerator display.

- TALR (L4) mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the received duration

(max. 15 minutes), or when the Peak Demand Off key is pressed. The mode is immediately deactivated and the refrigerator returns to the normal state when the door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used.

Special features

Ice maker

The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses ice so that you can enjoy ltered water with cubed or crushed ice.

Ice Maker Operation

• The ice maker will produce 8 cubes per cycle - approximately 100~130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings, and other use conditions.

• Throw away the rst few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.

• Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm. When the bin lls to the level of the feeler arm, the ice maker will stop producing ice.

• After the ice maker has been turned on again, there will be a time delay before the ice maker resumes operation.

• It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.

• If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, and shrink. If you do not want to make ice, turn the ice maker off. (For detailed instructions on turning the ice maker on or off, see the “Turning on or off the ice maker” section on page 36.)

NOTE

When the ice maker is on, the temperature of the freezer will be lower than the set temperature. If you do not need to use the ice maker, turn off the ice maker.

If You Turn the Ice Maker Off

If you turn the ice maker off, make sure to remove all ice cubes from the ice bucket. The remaining ice cubes may clump together, making it difcult to remove.

PASO 6 Conecte la tubería del dispensador de agua (solo para los modelos correspondientes)

El dispensador de agua con ltro es una de las funciones útiles de su nuevo refrigerador. Con el n de promover la buena salud, el ltro de agua elimina las partículas no deseadas del agua. No obstante, no la esteriliza ni destruye los microorganismos. Para eso, necesita adquirir un sistema de puricación de agua.

La tubería del agua también se conecta a la fábrica de hielo. Para que la fábrica de hielo funcione correctamente, se requiere una presión de agua de entre 30 y 120 psi (206 y 827 kPa).

Si el refrigerador se instala en una zona con baja presión de agua (inferior a 30 psi/206 kPa), puede instalar una bomba cebadora para compensar la baja presión.

Una vez conectada la tubería de agua, asegúrese de que el tanque de almacenamiento de agua dentro del refrigerador esté lleno. Para hacerlo, presione la palanca del dispensador de agua hasta que salga el agua por la salida.

NOTA

• Su distribuidor podrá ofrecerle los equipos de instalación de tuberías de agua disponibles a un costo adicional. Recomendamos utilizar un equipo de instalación de tubería de agua que contenga tubería de cobre y una tuerca de compresión de 1/4" (6 mm).

1. Cierre el suministro de agua principal.

2. Inserte la abrazadera (B) y la válvula de cierre

3. Conecte el equipo de instalación de la tubería de agua (A) a la válvula de cierre (B).

PRECAUCIÓN

No instale el ltro de agua en ninguna parte del refrigerador. Esto podría dañar el refrigerador.

1. Conecte la tubería de agua corriente al acople de compresión ensamblado.

- Si utiliza una tubería de cobre, deslice la tuerca de compresión (07) (no provista) y la férula (no

provista) por la tubería de cobre (no provista) como se muestra en el gráco.

- Si utiliza una tubería de plástico (08), inserte el extremo moldeado (bulbo) de la tubería de plástico (08) en el acople de compresión.

PRECAUCIÓN

• Si utiliza una tubería de plástico (08), no la use sin el extremo moldeado (bulbo).

• Dejar la tubería de agua desconectada puede causar que con el tiempo la válvula de agua emita un

zumbido. En este caso, asegúrese de desactivar la fábrica de hielo colocándola en “OFF” y no intente usar el dispensador de agua.

2. Ajuste la tuerca de compresión (07) sobre el acople de compresión. No ajuste demasiado la tuerca de compresión (07).

3. Abra el agua y verique si hay alguna fuga. Si encuentra gotas o fugas de agua en las zonas de las conexiones, cierre el suministro de agua principal. Revise las conexiones y, de ser necesario, ajústelas.

4. Haga correr 1 galón de agua a través del ltro antes de beber o de utilizar el agua del refrigerador. (El agua debe correr unos 6 minutos.) Para hacer correr el agua, presione la palanca del dispensador de agua con un vaso o una taza grandes. Llene el vaso, vacíelo y luego repita la operación.

5. Tras poner en funcionamiento el refrigerador, deje que la fábrica de hielo haga hielo durante 1 o 2 días. Pasado este tiempo, deseche las primeras 1 o 2 cubetas de hielo que hace la fábrica de hielo para asegurarse de que se hayan eliminado todas las impurezas de la tubería de agua.

NOTA

Conecte solamente la tubería de agua a una fuente de agua potable.

• Si debe reparar o desensamblar la tubería de agua, recorte 1/4" de la tubería de plástico para asegurarse de que la conexión sea perfecta y libre de pérdidas.

• Puede probar rápidamente la tubería del agua con un vaso de papel. En condiciones normales, el dispensador de agua puede llenar un vaso de 5 3/4 oz. (170 cc) en aproximadamente 10 segundos.
