STEP  4  Adjust the leveling feet

CAUTION

•The refrigerator must be leveled on a flat, solid floor. Failing to do so can cause damage to the refrigerator or physical injury.

•Leveling must be performed with an empty refrigerator. Make sure no food items remain inside the refrigerator.

•For safety reasons, adjust the front side a little higher than the rear side.

The refrigerator can be leveled using the front legs that have a special screw (leveler) for leveling purposes. Use a flat-head screwdriver for leveling.

To adjust the height of the freezer side:

Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the leveler of the freezer-side front leg. Turn the leveler clockwise to raise, or turn it counter clockwise to lower.

Installation

To adjust the height of the fridge side:

Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the leveler of the fridge-side front leg. Turn the leveler clockwise to raise, or turn it counter clockwise to lower.

STEP  5  Adjust the door height

The height of a fridge door can be adjusted using the clamp nut and the height nut on the front bottom of each door.

1. Open the door to adjust, and locate the two nuts (A) and (B) on the front bottom of the door.

2. With a 19 mm spanner, turn the clamp nut (A) clockwise to loosen. Then, open the door, and do the following inside the door.

- To raise the door, turn the height nut

(B) counter clockwise.

- To lower the door, turn the height nut

(B) clockwise.

3. When complete, tighten the clamp nut

(A) by turning it counter clockwise.

STEP  6  Connect the water dispenser line

A water dispenser with a filter is one of the helpful features on your new refrigerator. To help promote better health, the water filter 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) 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 filled. 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

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

Connect the water supply line to the refrigerator

There are several items you must purchase to complete this connection. You may find these items sold as a kit at your local hardware store.

		•	1/4" copper tubing
	Copper Tubing	•	1/4" compression nut (1 pc)
		•	Ferrule (2 pc)
	Plastic Tubing	•	1/4" plastic tubing  Molded end (Bulb)

CAUTION

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

1.Connect the household water line to the assembled compression fitting.

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

-If you are using plastic tubing (A), insert the molded end (Bulb) of the plastic tubing

(A) into the compression fitting.

CAUTION

•If you use plastic tubing (A), 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 (B) onto the compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut (B).

3.Turn the water on and check for any leakage. If you find 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 filter before drinking or using the water from the refrigerator. (Flush approximately 6 minutes.) To flush, 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 first 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 fill a 5 3/4 oz. (170 cc) cup in about 10 seconds.

4.Wait until the refrigerator reaches the set temperature. Now the refrigerator is ready for use.

STEP  8  Final check

		When installation is complete, confirm that:
		• The refrigerator is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
		• The refrigerator is installed on a flat, level surface with a reasonable clearance from the
		wall or the cabinet.
		• The refrigerator is level and is sitting firmly on the floor.
	Installation	• The door opens and closes freely, and the interior light turns on automatically when you
		open the door.
