STEP 4 Adjust the leveling feet
CAUTION
• The refrigerator must be leveled on a at, solid oor. 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 at-head screwdriver for leveling.
To adjust the height of the freezer side:
Insert a at-head screwdriver into the
leveler of the freezer-side front leg. Turn
the leveler clockwise to raise, or turn it
counter clockwise to lower.
To adjust the height of the fridge side:
Insert a at-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 6 Connect the water dispenser line
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) 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.

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 (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 tting.
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”.
2. Tighten the compression nut (B) onto the compression tting. Do not over-tighten the
compression nut (B).
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. 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.

wall or the cabinet.
• The refrigerator is level and is sitting rmly on the oor.
• The door opens and closes freely, and the interior light turns on automatically when you
