ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room far away from any heat source (eg. radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly to the sun. If required, use an insulating plate. To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions.

Insufficient ventilation at the back of the product increases energy consumption and decreases cooling efficiency. Frequent door opening might cause an increase in Energy Consumption. The internal temperature of the appliance and the Energy Consumption may be affected also by the ambient temperature, as well as location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration these factors.

Reduce door opening to a minimum. When thawing frozen food, place in the refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance. Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in such way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch each other and distance between food and rear wall should be kept). You can increase storage capacity of frozen food by removing baskets and, if present, Stop Frost shelf. Do not worry about noises coming from the compressor which are described as normal noises in this product's Quick Guide.

Water Supply Requirements

A cold water supply with water pressure between 20 psi and 145 psi (138 kPa and 1000 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied plumber.

NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the ow of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular shaped.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out

of a reverse osmosis system and supplying the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 20 psi and 145 psi (138 kPa and 1000 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water ltration system is connected to your home cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

■ Check to see whether the sediment lter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.

■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell

after heavy use. The tank capacity could be too small to keep up with the requirements of the refrigerator. NOTE: Faucet-mounted reverse osmosis systems are not recommended.

■ If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce

the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water lter. See the “Water Filtration System” section.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied plumber.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ Connect to potable water supply only.

A. Brake feet

IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments

involving brake feet, you must turn both brake feet same amount to keep the refrigerator level.

3. Use a level to make sure refrigerator is level from side to side and front to back.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

■ Plumbing must be installed in accordance with the

International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

■ Copper and PEX tubing connections from the household

water line to the refrigerator are acceptable and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice or water. Check for leaks.

If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the following: 7 ft (2.14 m) jacketed PEX, 5 ft (1.52 m) PEX, or 25 ft (7.62 m) PEX.

■ Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain

above freezing.

Tools Needed:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

■ 7/16" and 1/2" open-end wrenches or 2 adjustable wrenches

■ 1/4" nut driver

NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve, which reduces water ow and clogs easier.

Connect to Water Line

Connect to Refrigerator

IMPORTANT: If you have turned the refrigerator on before the

water was connected, turn off the ice maker.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long

enough to reduce water pressure in the water line.

3. Use a 3/4-14" shut-off valve or equivalent. The refrigerator is provided with a household supply line with the installation kit that connects to the shut-off valve and to the refrigerator.

NOTE: Appliance is equipped with a water installation kit. To assure proper connection to your water supply, use proper sealing material in the connection. Check if connection is sealed properly after some hours of operation.

The Ice Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

n If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular shape, it could

be because of low water pressure. See the “Water Supply Requirements” section.

n Ice travels from the ice storage bin through the dispenser

chute to the dispenser. To turn off the ice maker, see the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” section.

n The dispenser may continue to make noise and ice may

continue to dispense for several seconds after releasing the dispenser button or paddle.

To Clean the Ice Dispenser Chute:

Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked.

If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage bin, and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks.

n If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and

dispensed. This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal and pieces of ice may vary in size.

■ When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of

crushed ice will be dispensed along with the rst cubes.

Dispensing Water

IMPORTANT:

■ Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain

a fresh supply.

■ If the ow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could

be caused by low water pressure.

■ With the water lter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL)

of water. If 1 cup (237 mL) of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.

■ If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup

(237 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See the “Water Supply Requirements” and “Troubleshooting” sections for suggestions.

To Dispense Water: Standard:

Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser paddle.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

To Dispense Water - Measured Fill:

Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specied amount of water with the touch of a few buttons.

1. Put a sturdy glass under water spout. Select the amount of

water and unit to dispense.

NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed. Make sure the container can hold the entire volume. If ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.

2. Touch DISPENSE or press paddle and the selected amount of

water will be dispensed.

NOTE: Most coffee cups (commonly 4 to 6 oz [118 to 177 mL] per cup) are not the same size as a measuring cup (8 oz [237 mL]). You may need to recalibrate Measured Fill to underll or to avoid unintentionally overlling coffee cups.

3. Dispense water.

NOTE: While dispensing water, the ow of water will automatically stop once the desired volume has been dispensed.

■ Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle below

the water spout.

■ Place the glass below the water spout and touch

DISPENSE for hands-free dispensing.

4. To pause dispensing before the selected volume has been

dispensed, press pause button on screen

NOTE: If you stop dispensing before the desired volume has been dispensed, the display will turn off after 1 minute. If you have not resumed by then, it will reset back to the original amount.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

IMPORTANT: To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice,

ush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See the “Water Dispenser” section.

n Following installation, allow 24 hours to produce the rst

batch of ice. Discard the rst 3 batches of ice produced.

Allow 2 to 3 days to ll the ice storage bin.

n The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of

the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is wellmaintained.

n If the ice in the storage bin clumps together, break up ice

using a plastic utensil and discard. Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice. This can cause damage to the ice bin and the dispenser mechanism.

n Do not store anything in the ice storage bin.
