GY SAVING TIPS

I

nstall 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.

Insucient ventilation at the back of the product increases energy

consumption and decreases cooling eciency.

Frequent door opening might cause an increase in Energy Consumption.

The internal temperature of the appliance and the Energy Consumption

may be aected 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

ecient 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 distanc

e 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.

in accordance to AS/NZS 3500.1.2 and complying

Refrigerator Levelling

1. Move refrigerator to its nal location.

2. Using hand, rotate the brake feet. Turn them counterclockwise

until the rollers are off the oor and both brake feet are snug

against the oor. This keeps refrigerator from rolling forward

when opening the doors.

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.

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.

■ 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.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

WARNING

Connect to Water Line

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.

4. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing to the

shut-off valve. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter)

soft copper tubing to connect the shut-off valve and the

refrigerator.

■ Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job.

Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.

■ Slip compression sleeve and compression nut onto copper

tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely

as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end

with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

5. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink and

turn on main water supply to ush out tubing until water is

clear. Turn off shut-off valve on the water pipe.

NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the nal

connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid possible

water valve malfunction.

6. Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet, located

on the back of the refrigerator cabinet as shown. Leave a coil

of copper tubing to allow the refrigerator to be pulled out of

the cabinet or away from the wall for service.

Connect to Refrigerator

Follow the connection instructions specic to your model.

1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the

copper tubing to the valve inlet using a compression nut

and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not

overtighten. Conrm copper tubing is secure by pulling on

copper tubing.

2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks

when coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to

refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp.
