"-//_ WARNING

• Use two or more people to move and

install the refrigerator. Failure to do so

can result in back or other injury.

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.

Keep flammable materials and vapors,

such as gasoline, away from the

refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in

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.

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.

Choosing fhe Proper Locafion

• Select a place where a water supply can

be easily connected for the automatic

icemaker.

@ NOTE /

The water pressure must be between 20

and 120 psi (140 and 830 kPa)on models

without a water filter and between 40 and

120 psi (280 and 830kPa) on models with

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.

TA WARNING

o reduce the risk of electric shock, do not

install the refrigerator in a wet or damp

area j

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.)

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.

Measuring the Clearances

Too small of a distance from adjacent items

may result in lowered freezing capability and

increased electricity consumption charges.

Allow at least 24 inches (61 cm) in front of the

INSTALLATION 19

Connecfincj the Wafer Line

Before You Begin

This wafer line installation is not covered by the

refrigerator warranty. Follow these instructions

carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water

damage

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in

house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator

parts and can lead to water leakage or flooding.

Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer

before installing the water supply line to the

refrigerator.

"-Z_ CAUTION

To prevent burns and product damange,

only connect the refrigerator water line to

a cold water supply.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting

the water line, make sure the icemaker power

switch is in the OFF (O) position,

.-_ CAUTION

Do not install the icemaker tubing _n

areas where temperatures fall below

freezing.

Wafer Pressure

A cold water supply. The water pressure must

be between 20 and 120 psi (140 and 830 kPa)

on models without a wafer filter and between 40

and 120 psi (280 and 830kPa) on models with

a water filter

If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is

connected to your cold wafer supply, this water

line installation is not covered by the refrigerator

warranty. Follow the following instructions

carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water

damage.

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 and 60 psi ( 280 and 420

kPa), less than 2.0~30 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz

(200 cc) capacity

CAUTION

Wear eye protectionduringinstallation

topreventinjury.

If the wafer pressure from the reverse osmosis

system is less than 21 psi (145 kPa) (takes more

than 40 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz (200 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

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, 1/4in. 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

(24m) Be sure there is sufficient extra

tubing (about 8 feet [24 m] coiled into 3

turns of about 10 in [25cm] diameter)

to allow the refrigerator to move out

from the wall after installation

• Power drill.

o 1/2in. or adjustable

wrench.

Flat blade and Phillips

head screwdrivers,

e Two 1,4in. outer

diameter compression

nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the

copper tubing to the shutoff valve and

the refrigerator wafer valve

20 INSTALLATION

• 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.

• Shutoffvalve to

connect to the coldwater 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. Saddle4ype 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.

Wafer Line Insfallafion Insfrucfions

_ 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.

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest

frequently used drinking water line.

SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

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 14in. 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 1Ain.

hole may result in reduced ice production

or smaller cubes.

NOTE ..................................

The hookup line cannot be white, plastic /

tubing. Licensed plumbers must use I
