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 protect the floor.
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 special care when removing them to avoid
impact from dropping.
3
Location Requirements
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a ½"
(1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. When installing your
refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on
the hinge side (some models require more) to allow for the door
to swing open. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra
space at the back for the water line connections.
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.

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.

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.
5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
6. The ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If
your water conditions require a second water strainer, install
it in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection.
Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.
Complete the Installation
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
NOTE: Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard

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.
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 and check 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”
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.

Crisper Humidity Control
(on some models)
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and
HIGH.
LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.
HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
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
AB
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
11
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.

to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
In the U.S.A., www.maytag.com In Canada, www.maytag.ca
Refrigerator Operation
The refrigerator will not operate
■ Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet.
■ Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet is
working.
■ Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,
call an electrician.
■ Control(s) on? Make sure the refrigerator control is on. See
“Using the Control(s).”
■ New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for
the refrigerator to cool completely.
NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to coldest setting
will not cool the refrigerator more quickly.
The motor seems to run too much
Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its
high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even
longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, the door is
opened often, or if the door has been left open.
The refrigerator seems noisy
Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this

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. Si Ud.
instala el refrigerador próximo a una pared fija, deje como mínimo
2" (5,08 cm) en el lado de la bisagra (algunos modelos necesitan
más espacio) para permitir que la puerta abra bien. Si su
refrigerador tiene una fábrica de hielo, asegúrese de que haya
espacio adicional atrás para las conexiones de la línea de agua.
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 muy pesado. Cuando mueva su
refrigerador para limpiarlo o darle servicio, proteja el piso.
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. Tenga mucho cuidado al
sacarlos para evitar que se dañen al caer.
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.
16
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, debidamente
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) 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.

17
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.
