IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.

Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is

combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to

ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out

of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked

flames or potential sources of ignition and air out the room in which the appliance is

standing for several minutes.

In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating

circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the

amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size

for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your

particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start

up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the following:

packing materials out of reach of children.

•

The appliance must be positioned for easy access to a power source.

Use

•

Close the door carefully when children are around.

•

Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are

necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are nearby.

•

If you store food improperly, be aware that it may fall and cause injury.

•

Do not use aerosols near the refrigerator.

•

Do not store articles on the top of the appliance.

•

fire, explosion, or death.

Remove tape and any temporary labels from your

refrigerator before using. Do not remove any

warning-type labels, the model and serial number

label, or the Tech Sheet that is located under the

front of the refrigerator.

But, when you remove tape and temporary label,

remove them after pulling out the power plug.

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the

area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue

can also be easily removed by rubbing a small

amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with

your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

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.

Refrigerator shelves are installed in the shipping

position. Please reinstall shelves according to

your individual storage needs.

•

The refrigerator should always be plugged

into its own individual properly grounded

electrical outlet rated for 115 Volts, 60 Hz,

AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.

This provides the best performance

and also prevents overloading house

wiring circuits which could cause a fire

hazard from overheated wires. It is

recommended that a separate circuit

serving only this appliance be provided.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not

install the refrigerator in a wet or damp

area.

NOTE

The water pressure must be 20~120

psi or 138~827 kPa or 1.4~8.4 kgf/cm²

on models without a water filter and

40~120 psi or 276~827 kPa or 2.8~8.4

kgf/cm² on models with a water filter.

Flooring

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be

leveled and installed on a solidly constructed

floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to

compensate for unevenness of the floor. The

front should be slightly higher than the rear to

aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned

easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the

leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to

the right to lower it. (See Leveling and Door

AlIgnment.)

NOTE

Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,

a platform or weakly supported structure

is not recommended.

Ambient Temperature

Install this appliance in an area where the

temperature is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F

(43°C). If the temperature around the appliance

is too low or high, cooling ability may be

adversely affected.

12

INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

Dimensions and Clearances

•

Check the dimensions of the appliance and the installation path to ensure there is sufficient

room to move the refrigerator through doors or narrow openings.

•

If an opening is too narrow to fit the refrigerator through, the doors must be removed.

•

The installation location chosen for the refrigerator should allow space behind the unit for

connections and airflow and space in front to open the doors and drawers.

•

Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and

increased electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24 inches (610 mm) in front of

the refrigerator to open the doors, and at least 2 inches (50.8 mm) between the back of the

refrigerator and the wall.

ENGLISH

CAUTION

Wear eye protection during installation

to prevent injury.

Water Pressure

The water pressure must be 20~120 psi or

138~827 kPa or 1.4~8.4 kgf/cm² on models

without a water filter and 40~120 psi or 276~827

kPa or 2.8~8.4 kgf/cm² on models with a water

filter.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is

connected to the cold water supply, this water

line installation is not covered by the refrigerator

warranty. Follow the instructions carefully to

minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is

connected to the cold water supply, the water

pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs

to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276~414 kPa or

2.8~4.2 kgf/cm², less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a

cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis

system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/

cm² (takes more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz

or 198 cc capacity):

•

Check to see if 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 the issue concerning water pressure

from reverse osmosis remains, call a

licensed, qualified plumber.

•

All installations must be in accordance

with local plumbing code requirements.

What You Will Need

•

Copper Tubing,

¼ in. outer diameter, to

connect the refrigerator to the water

supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing

are cut square.

•

To determine how

much tubing you need:

measure the distance

from the water valve on the back of

the refrigerator to the water supply

pipe. Then, add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure

there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8

feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about

10 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow the

refrigerator to move out from the wall

after installation.

•

Power drill.

•

½ in. or adjustable

wrench.

•

Flat blade and Phillips

head screwdrivers.

•

Two ¼ in. outer

diameter compression

nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves)

to connect the

copper tubing to the shutoff valve and

the refrigerator water valve.

•

If your existing copper water line has a

flared fitting at the end, you will need

an adapter (available at plumbing supply

stores) to connect the water line to the

refrigerator OR you

can cut off the flared

fitting with a tube

cutter and then use a

compression fitting.

•

Shutoff valve

to connect to the cold

water line. The shutoff valve should

have a water inlet with a minimum

inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the point of

connection to the COLD WATER LINE.

Saddle-type shutoff valves are included

in many water

supply kits. Before

purchasing, make

sure a saddle-type

valve complies with

your local plumbing codes.

NOTE

A self piercing saddle type water valve

should not be used.

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the

pressure on the line.

2

CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location for

the valve that is easily

accessible. It is best to

connect into the side of a

vertical water pipe. When

it is necessary to connect

into a horizontal water

pipe, make the connection to the top or

side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid

drawing off any sediment from the water

pipe.

3

DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a ¼ in. hole in

the water pipe using

a sharp bit. Remove

any burrs resulting

from drilling the hole

in the pipe. Be careful

not to allow water

to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a ¼ in.

hole may result in reduced ice production

or smaller cubes.

WARNING

When using any electrical device

(such as a power drill) during

installation, be sure the device is

battery powered, double insulated

or grounded in a manner that will

prevent the hazard of electric shock.

4

FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water

pipe with the pipe clamp.

TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP

Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing

washer begins to swell.

NOTE:

Do not overtighten the clamp or

you may crush the tubing.

6

ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water

line and the refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in

the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or

adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall

as possible.

NOTE

The hookup line cannot be white, plastic

tubing. Licensed plumbers must use

only copper tubing (NDA tubing #49595

or #49599) or Cross Link Polyethylene

(PEX) tubing.

NOTE

Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing

(about 8 feet coiled into 3 turns of

about 10 in. diameter) to allow the

refrigerator to move out from the wall

after installation.

NOTE

Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered

to. Saddle valves are illegal and their use is

not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult

with your licensed plumber.

CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE

Place the compression nut and ferrule

(sleeve) for the copper tubing onto the

end of the tubing and connect it to the

shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is

fully inserted into the valve. Tighten the

compression nut securely.

8

FLUSH OUT THE TUBING

Turn the main water

supply on and flush out

the tubing until the water

is clear.

Shut the water off at the

water valve after about

one quart of water has

been flushed through the tubing.

9

CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE

REFRIGERATOR

NOTE:

Before making the connection

to the refrigerator, be sure that the

refrigerator power cord is not plugged into

the wall outlet.

a. Remove the plastic flexible cap from the

water valve.

b. Place the compression nut and ferrule

(sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as

shown.

c. Insert the end of the copper tubing into

the connection as far as possible. While

holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR

Arrange the coil of tubing so that it

does not vibrate against the back of the

refrigerator or against the wall. Push the

refrigerator back to the wall.

12

START THE ICEMAKER

Turn the icemaker ON at the control panel.

The icemaker will not begin to operate

until it reaches its operating temperature

of 15°F (–9°C) or below. It will then begin

operation automatically if the icemaker has

been turned ON.

Turning On The Power

Plug in the refrigerator.

CAUTION

Check to see if leaks occur at the water

line connections.

CAUTION

•

Connect to a rated power outlet.

•

Have a certified electrician check

the wall outlet and wiring for proper

grounding.

•

Do not damage or cut off the ground

terminal of the power plug.
