DANGER

WARNING

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

Remove the Packaging

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids,

or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can

damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information,

see “Refrigerator Safety.”

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the white foam air return insert from

behind the control panel on the ceiling of the refrigerator. If the

insert is removed, ice may migrate down from the freezer and

cause icicles to form.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of

your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in

“Refrigerator Care.”

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems

of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous

– even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of

your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help

prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

■ Take off the doors.

■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily

climb inside.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the refrigerator, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

WARNING:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

■

Do not remove ground prong.

■

Do not use an adapter.

■

Do not use an extension cord.

■

Disconnect power before servicing.

■

Replace all parts and panels before operating.

■

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

■

Use nonflammable cleaner.

■

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,

away from refrigerator.

■

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

■

Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker

kit ready models only).

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for

cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with

cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull

the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or

“walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor

damage could occur.

Important information to know about glass shelves

and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when

they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to

sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.

Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,

pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers

are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid

dropping.

Location Requirements

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for ½"

(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1"

(2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has

an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line

connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall,

leave a 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on the hinge side (some

models require more) to allow the door to swing open.

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator

near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install the

refrigerator in a location where the temperature will fall below

55°F (13°C).

Electrical Requirements

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is

important to make sure you have the proper electrical

connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded

electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate

circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet

that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an

extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator

or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then

disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you

are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source

and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control

depending on the model) to the desired setting. See “Using the

Controls.”

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

2" (1.25 cm)

2" (5.08 cm)

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

Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed

here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄"

(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.

Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with

your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆"

(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more

easily.

IMPORTANT:

■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing

only in areas where the household temperatures will remain

above freezing.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and

120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water

dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water

pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a

reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the

refrigerator needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and

827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your

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).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than

40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

■ Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill

after heavy usage.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,

qualified plumber.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line

is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.

Connect to Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

3. Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water

pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

■ Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the

pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from

the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure

from the connection on the lower left rear of refrigerator to the

water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄"

(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure

both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" hole in the cold water pipe

you have selected.

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" drilled hole

in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.

Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws

slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not

overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the

copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the

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

onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and

turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is

clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the

copper tubing.

Connect to Refrigerator

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression

nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do

not overtighten.

3. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure

the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help avoid

damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back

against the wall.

4. Turn shutoff valve ON.

Adjust the Doors

Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers – one on the right

and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you

want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using

the instructions below.

IMPORTANT: To comply with American Disabilities Act (ADA)

guidelines, fully retract the rollers into the cabinet to lower the

refrigerator.

1. Remove the base grille. See the Base Grille graphic in

“Refrigerator Doors.” The two leveling screws are part of the

front roller assemblies which are at the base of the

refrigerator on either side.

2. Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the

leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator

or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side. It may

take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust the tilt of

the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the

refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and

rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

3. Open both doors again to make sure that they close as easily

as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear

by turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take

several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws

the same amount.

4. Replace the base grille.

Align Doors

If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it

using the instructions below:

1. Pry off the top hinge cover.

2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket or wrench.

3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer

between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.

4. Replace the top hinge cover.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the

factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the

controls are still preset to the mid-settings as shown.

NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to

the word OFF or until the word OFF appears. Your product will

not cool when the refrigerator control is set to OFF.

Mid-setting “3”

IMPORTANT:

■ Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before

adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food

into the refrigerator.

■ If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely,

your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer

Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will

not cool the compartments any faster.

Adjusting Controls

The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be

correct for normal household usage. The controls are set

correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice

cream is firm.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or

freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked.

If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the

chart below as a guide. On models with two controls, adjust the

refrigerator temperature first. Wait at least 24 hours between

adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.

Ice Maker

Style 1

To Turn the Ice Maker On/Off:

To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the

OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,

the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will

raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not

force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

Ice Production Rate:

■ The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches

of ice in a 24-hour period.

■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator

temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours

between adjustments.

■ For maximum ice production (on some models), push the

switch to ICE PLUS. The ice maker should produce 16 to

20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period in the Ice Plus mode.

Style 2

To Turn the Ice Maker On/Off:

To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the

OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,

the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will

raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not

force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

Ice Production Rate:

■ The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches

of ice in a 24-hour period with the ice level adjustment arm in

the factory set 100% position.

NOTE: Adjust the ice level by slightly pressing in on the ice

level adjustment arm, to release it from the wire shutoff arm,

and then moving it up or down to the desired setting.

■ To decrease the amount of ice produced, move the ice level

adjustment arm to the 75% or 50% position.

■ For maximum ice production move the ice level adjustment

arm to the 100% position.

Remember

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

first three batches of ice produced.

■ 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

and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot

be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating

properly and is well maintained.

■ Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This

can cause damage to the ice container and the dispenser

mechanism.

■ Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or ice bin.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.

However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid

buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

IMPORTANT:

■ Because air circulates between both sections, any odors

formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must

thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid

odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods

tightly.

■ For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosion-

resistant and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of

your stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the

following cleaning instructions.

A. Wire shutoff arm

B. Ice level adjustment arm

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window

sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid,

cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers

containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and

cabinet), plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not

use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior

surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a

mild detergent in warm water.

3. Clean the exterior surfaces.

Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean,

soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.

Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately

to avoid water spots.

Stainless steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean,

soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.

Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately

to avoid water spots.

NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe with the

grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.

4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal

home operating environments. If the environment is

particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in

the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to

3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.

If you need to clean the condenser:

■ Remove the base grille.

■ Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,

the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area

of the condenser.

■ Replace the base grille when finished.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

Changing the Light Bulbs

NOTE: Not all bulbs will fit your refrigerator. Be sure to replace

the bulb with an appliance bulb of the same size, shape, and

wattage.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Remove the bulb from behind the control panel in the

refrigerator or from behind the light shield in the freezer (on

some models). Replace it with an appliance bulb of the same

wattage.

3. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

INSTRUCCIONES DE INSTALACIÓN

Desempaque el refrigerador

Quite los materiales de empaque

No use instrumentos filosos, alcohol para fricciones, líquidos

inflamables, o productos de limpieza abrasivos para eliminar los

restos de cinta o goma. Estos productos pueden dañar la

superficie de su refrigerador. Para más información, vea la

sección “Seguridad del refrigerador”.

IMPORTANTE: No quite el inserto de espuma blanca de retorno

de aire que está ubicado detrás del panel de control en el techo

del refrigerador. Si se quita el inserto, el hielo puede bajar del

congelador y hacer que se formen carámbanos.

Limpie su refrigerador antes de usarlo

Una vez que usted haya quitado todos los materiales de

empaque, limpie el interior de su refrigerador antes de usarlo.

Vea las instrucciones de limpieza en la sección “Cuidado de su

refrigerador”.

Requisitos de ubicación

Para asegurar la adecuada ventilación para su refrigerador, deje

un espacio de ½" (1,25 cm) a cada lado y por encima. Deje un

espacio de 1" (2,54 cm) detrás del refrigerador. Si su refrigerador

tiene fábrica de hielo, asegúrese que hay espacio adicional atrás

para las conexiones de la línea de agua. Si Ud. instala el

refrigerador próximo a una pared fija, deje un espacio mínimo de

2" (5,08 cm) en el lado de la bisagra (algunos modelos necesitan

más espacio) para permitir que la puerta abra bien.

Cómo deshacerse adecuadamente de su

refrigerador viejo

IMPORTANTE: El atrapamiento y asfixia de niños no es un

problema del pasado. Los refrigeradores tirados y abandonados

son un peligro, aún si van a quedar ahí “por unos pocos días”. Si

Ud. está por deshacerse de su refrigerador viejo, por favor siga

las instrucciones que se dan a continuación para prevenir

accidentes.

Antes de tirar su viejo refrigerador o congelador:

■ Saque las puertas.

■ Deje los estantes en su lugar para que los niños no puedan

meterse con facilidad.

ADVERTENCIA

Peligro de Asfixia

Remueva las puertas de su refrigerador viejo.

No seguir esta instrucción puede ocasionar la muerte

o daño al cerebro.

ADVERTENCIA

Peligro de Peso Excesivo

Use dos o más personas para mover e instalar

el refrigerador.

No seguir esta instrucción puede ocasionar una

lesión en la espalda u otro tipo de lesiones.

Cómo mover su refrigerador:

Su refrigerador es pesado. Cuando mueva el refrigerador

para limpiarlo o para darle servicio, cerciórese de cubrir

el piso con cartón o madera para evitar daños en el mismo.

Al mover el refrigerador, siempre tire directamente hacia

afuera. No menee el refrigerador de lado a lado ni lo haga

“caminar” cuando lo trate de mover ya que podría dañar

el piso.

Información importante para saber acerca de los estantes

y tapas de vidrio:

No limpie los estantes y tapas de vidrio con agua caliente

mientras están fríos. Los estantes y tapas pueden romperse

si se exponen a cambios bruscos de temperatura o impacto,

como sería un golpe brusco. El vidrio templado se ha

diseñado para hacerse añicos. Esto es normal. Los estantes

y tapas de vidrio son muy pesados. Use ambas manos al

sacarlos para evitar que se caigan.

ADVERTENCIA

Peligro de Explosión

Mantenga los materiales y vapores inflamables,

tales como gasolina, alejados del refrigerador.

No seguir esta instrucción puede ocasionar la muerte,

explosión, o incendio.

NOTA: No se recomienda instalar el refrigerador cerca de un

horno, radiador u otra fuente de calor. No instale el refrigerador

en un lugar donde la temperatura puede ser menor de

55°F (13°C).

Requisitos eléctricos

Antes de mover el refrigerador a su ubicación final, es importante

asegurarse de que tiene la conexión eléctrica adecuada.

Método de conexión a tierra recomendado

Se requiere una fuente de energía eléctrica de 115 Voltios, 60 Hz,

CA solamente y con fusibles de 15 ó 20 amperios, conectada a

tierra. Se recomienda que use un circuito separado sólo para su

refrigerador. Use un tomacorriente que no se pueda apagar con

un interruptor. No use un cable eléctrico de extensión.

NOTA: Antes de realizar cualquier tipo de instalación, limpieza o

de quitar un foco de luz, ponga el control (del termostato, del

refrigerador o del congelador dependiendo del modelo) en la

posición OFF (Apagado) y luego desconecte el refrigerador de la

fuente de energía. Cuando haya terminado, reconecte el

refrigerador a la fuente de energía eléctrica y vuelva a poner el

control (del termostato, del refrigerador o del congelador

dependiendo del modelo) en la posición deseada. Vea “Uso de

los controles”.

Requisitos del suministro de agua

Reúna las herramientas y piezas necesarias antes de comenzar

la instalación. Lea y siga las instrucciones provistas con

cualquiera de las herramientas enlistadas aquí.

HERRAMIENTAS NECESARIAS:

NOTA: El distribuidor de su refrigerador tiene un juego disponible

con una válvula de cierre tipo montura de

¹⁄₄" (6,35 mm), una

unión y tubería de cobre. Antes de comprar, asegúrese que la

válvula tipo montura cumpla con los códigos de plomería de su

localidad. No use una válvula perforadora o una válvula de

montura de

³⁄₁₆" (4,76 mm) ya que reduce el flujo de agua y se

obstruye con más facilidad.

IMPORTANTE:

■ Todas las instalaciones deben hacerse de acuerdo a los

requerimientos locales de plomería.

■ Use tuberías de cobre y revise si hay fugas. Instale tubería de

cobre sólo en áreas donde la temperatura va a permanecer

por encima del punto de congelación.

Presión del agua

Se necesita un suministro de agua fría con presión de agua entre

30 y 120 lbs/pulg² (207 y 827 kPa) para hacer funcionar el

despachador de agua y la fábrica de hielo. Si usted tiene

preguntas acerca de la presión de agua, llame a un plomero

competente autorizado.

Suministro de agua de ósmosis inversa

IMPORTANTE: La presión del suministro de agua que sale de un

sistema de ósmosis inversa y va a la válvula de entrada de agua

del refrigerador necesitará ser entre 30 y 120 lbs/pulg² (207 y

827 kPa).

Si se conecta un sistema de filtración de agua de ósmosis

inversa al suministro de agua fría, la presión de agua al sistema

de ósmosis inversa necesitará ser de un mínimo de 40 a 60 lbs/

pulg² (276 a 414 kPa).

Si la presión del agua del sistema de ósmosis inversa es menor

de 40 a 60 lbs/pulg² (276 a 414 kPa):

■ Fíjese si el filtro de sedimentos en el sistema de ósmosis

inversa está bloqueado y reemplácelo si fuera necesario.

■ Deje que se vuelva a llenar el tanque de almacenaje del

sistema de ósmosis inversa después del uso intenso.

Si tiene preguntas acerca de la presión del agua, llame a un

plomero competente autorizado.

2" (1,25 cm)

2" (5,08 cm)

ADVERTENCIA

Peligro de Choque Eléctrico

Conecte a un contacto de pared de conexión a tierra de

3 terminales.

No quite la terminal de conexión a tierra.

No use un adaptador.

No use un cable eléctrico de extensión.

No seguir estas instrucciones puede ocasionar

la muerte, incendio o choque eléctrico.

■ Destornillador de hoja plana

■ Llaves de boca de ⁷⁄₁₆" y ¹⁄₂"

o dos llaves ajustables

■ Llave para tuercas de ¹⁄₄"

■ Broca de ¹⁄₄"

■ Taladro inalámbrico

Conexión del suministro de agua

Lea todas las instrucciones antes de comenzar.

IMPORTANTE: Si enciende el refrigerador antes de instalar la

conexión del agua, APAGUE la fábrica de hielo.

Conexión a la línea de agua

1. Desenchufe el refrigerador o desconecte el suministro de

energía.

2. CIERRE el suministro principal de agua. ABRA la llave de

agua más cercana el tiempo suficiente para que la tubería de

agua se vacíe totalmente.

3. Busque una tubería vertical de agua fría de

¹⁄₂" a 1¹⁄₄"

(1,25 cm a 3,18 cm) cercana al refrigerador.

IMPORTANTE:

■ Asegúrese de que sea una tubería de agua fría.

■ Una tubería horizontal funcionará, pero taladre por el lado

superior de la tubería, no por debajo. Esto ayudará a

mantener el agua alejada del taladro. Esto también evita

que se junte sedimento normal en la válvula.

4. Para determinar la longitud de la tubería de cobre que va a

necesitar, mida desde la conexión baja de la parte trasera

izquierda del refrigerador hasta la tubería de agua. Agregue

7 pies (2,1 m) para la limpieza. Use tubería de cobre de

¹⁄₄"

(6,35 mm) de diámetro externo. Asegúrese que ambos

extremos de la tubería de cobre estén cortados rectos.

5. Usando un taladro inalámbrico, haga un orificio de

¹⁄₄" en la

tubería de agua fría que Ud. eligió.

6. Ajuste la válvula de cierre a la tubería de agua fría con la

abrazadera para tubería. Asegúrese que el extremo de salida

esté firmemente insertado en el orificio taladrado de

¹⁄₄" en la

tubería de agua y que la arandela esté por debajo de la

abrazadera para tubería. Ajuste la tuerca de presión. Apriete

los tornillos de la abrazadera para tubería lentamente y en

forma pareja de manera que la arandela provea un cierre

hermético. No apriete demasiado porque se puede quebrar la

tubería de cobre.

7. Deslice la manga de compresión y la tuerca de compresión

sobre la tubería de cobre como se muestra. Inserte el

extremo de la tubería en el extremo de salida hasta donde

sea posible. Atornille la tuerca de compresión sobre el

extremo de salida con una llave ajustable. No apriete

demasiado.

8. Coloque el extremo libre de la tubería dentro de un recipiente

o fregadero, y ABRA la llave de agua principal. Enjuague la

tubería hasta que el agua salga limpia. CIERRE la válvula de

cierre del agua en la tubería de agua. Enrolle la tubería de

cobre en espiral.

Conexión al refrigerador

1. Desenchufe el refrigerador o desconecte el suministro de

energía.

2. Fije el tubo de cobre a la entrada de la válvula usando una

tuerca de compresión y manga de compresión como se

muestra. Ajuste la tuerca de compresión. No apriete

demasiado.

3. Use la abrazadera para tubería en la parte trasera del

refrigerador para afianzar la tubería al refrigerador según se

muestra. Esto ayudará a evitar daños en la tubería cuando el

refrigerador se empuje nuevamente contra la pared.

4. ABRA la válvula de cierre.

5. Revise si hay fugas. Ajuste las conexiones (incluso las de la

válvula) o tuercas que tienen fugas.

6. La fábrica de hielo está equipada con un filtro de agua

incorporado. Si las condiciones del agua local requieren un

segundo filtro de agua, se debe instalar en la línea de agua de

¼" (6,35 mm) en cualquiera de las conexiones de la tubería.

Consiga un filtro de agua del distribuidor de

electrodomésticos más cercano a su domicilio.

Cómo terminar la instalación

1. Conecte a un contacto de pared de conexión a tierra de

3 terminales.

NOTA: Deje transcurrir 24 horas para la producción de la primera

tanda de hielo. Deshágase de los tres primeros lotes de hielo

producido. Deje pasar 3 días para que se llene completamente el

recipiente para hielo.
