REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
Type 2
Adjusting tools: 5/16” (8 mm) wrench and 3/4” (19 mm)
wrench.
Using a 3/4” (19 mm) wrench, turn the keeper nut
clockwise to loosen the keeper nut.
Using a 5/16” (8 mm) wrench, turn the adjustment hinge
pin clockwise or counterclockwise to level the refrigerator
and freezer door.
After setting level door, turn the keeper nut
counterclockwise to tighten.
CAUTION
Do not over tight the door adjustment screw. The
hinge pin can be pulled out. (Adjustable range of
height is a maximum of 1/2” (1,27 cm)).
AFTER LEVELING THE DOOR HEIGHT
Confirm all legs are in contact with the floor.
CONNECTING THE WATER LINE
NOTE: Water line installation is needed when the
Automatic Ice maker and/or Water Dispenser
features are available on your product.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or ice maker manufacturer or seller.
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 lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified
plumber to correct water hammer before installing the
water supply line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up
the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water
line, make sure the ice maker power switch is in the OFF
(O) position.
Do not install the ice maker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power drill)
during installation, be sure the device is double insulated
or grounded in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric
shock, or is battery-powered. All installations MUST be in
accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
NOTE: Wear eye protection.
• If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, the water line
installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or ice
maker manufacturer or seller. Follow next instruction
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
of40to60PSI(2,8kg•f/cm²~4,2kg•f/cm²,less
than2~3sectollacupof7oz.capacity).
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is
lessthan21PSI(1,5kg•f/cm²,morethan4sectolla
cup of 7 oz. capacity):
•Checktoseewhetherthesedimentlterinthereverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
•Allowthestoragetankonthereverseosmosissystemto

remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Copper Tubing, 1/4” (6,35 mm) 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” [25 cm]
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the
wall after installation.
Be sure that the kit you select allows at least 8 feet (2,4
m) as described above.
• A cold water supply. The water pressure MUST be
between 20 and 120 PSI (1,4 bar and 8,2 bar) on
models without a water filter and between 40 and 120
PSI (2,8 bar and 8,2 bar) on models with a water filter.
• Power drill.
• 1/2” (12,7 mm) or Adjustable Wrench.
• Flat head and Phillips screwdrivers.
