Feed water pipe installation
• Automatic ice maker operation needs water pressure of 147-834 kPa(1.5-8.5
kgr/cm2)(That is, an instant paper cup (180 cc) will be tully filled within 3 sec.).
• Ifwater pressure does not reach the rating 147 kPa (1.5kgf/cm2)or below, it is
necessary to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icing and
cool water feed.
• Keepthe total length or the reed water pipe tube within 8 m and be careful for the
tube not be bent, Irthe tube is 8 m or longer it may cause trouble in water reed
owing to the drain water pressure.
• Installthe feed water pipe tube at a placetree from heat.
L:_ Warning • Connect to potable water supply only.
• Refer to instructions with water tilter kit for installation.

Water connection instruction guide
Readall directions carefully before you begin.
Connect to potable water supply only.
• Standard screwdriver
• 7/16 -inch and 1/2 -inch open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches
• 1/4 - inch nut driver
• 1/4 -inch drill bit
• Hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded)
The ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is used asa water
pressure regulator.
The ice maker needs to be connected to acold water line with water pressure
207 o-827 kPa (30 o-120 psi).
Ira problem occurs, call your utility company.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to empty
water pipes.
3. Find a 1/2 - inch to 1-1/4 -inch vertical COLD water pipe nearthe refrigerator.
4. To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from the
connection on the lower left rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7
feet (2.1m)to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use 1/4 -inch O.D.
(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut
square.
5. Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4 - inch hole in the cold water pipe you have
selected.
6. Fasten shut - off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end
is solidly in the 1/4dnch drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is
under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws
carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not over tighten or
you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is
used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.
7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown.
Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely asfar as it will go. Screw
compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not over tighten.
8. Place the free end of the tubing into acontainer or sink, and turn ON main
water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shut- off valve
on the water pipe. Coil copper tubing.

Storing foods
• Storefresh food in the refrigerator compartment, How food isfrozen and thawed isan
important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
• Donot store food which goes bad easilyat low temperatures, such as bananas,and
melons.
• Allow hot rood to cool priorto storing, placinghot rood in the refrigerator could spoil
other rood, and leadto higher energy consumption.
• When storing the rood, cover itwith vinyl wrap or store ina container with a lid.This
prevents moisture from evaporating,and helpsrood to keep its taste and nutrients.
• Donot blockair vents with rood. Smooth circulation ofchilled air keeps refrigerator
temperatures even.
• Donot openthe doorfrequently.Openingthe doorletswarm airenter the refrigerator,
and cause temperatures to rise.
• Never keeptoo much food in door rack becausethey may pushagainst byinner racks
so that the door cannot be fully closed.
Freezer

Refrigerator
compartment
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment -they may breakwhen frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrient.
• When storing frozen rood like icecream for a long period, place it on the freezer
shelf, not in the door rack.
• Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, itcould freeze from direct
contact with chilled air.
• Always cleanrood prior to refrigeration.Vegetablesand fruits should be washed and
wiped, and packed rood should be wiped, to prevent adjacent rood from spoiling.
• When storing eggs in their storage rackor box,ensurethat they are fresh,and always
store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.

Warning
General information
Duringaverage length vacations, you will probably find it best to leavethe refrigerator
in operation. Placefreezable items infreezer for longer life.
When you plan not to operate, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the
interior thoroughly, and leaveeach door OPEN to prevent odor formation.
Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your
refrigerator temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power isoff.
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator.
To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them allthe way into the base.
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especiallyjust
after installation.
Don't be alarmed.This isdue to the anti-condensation pipe,which pumps hot
refrigerator to prevent "sweating" on the outer cabinet wall.
Cleaning
It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirableodors. Spilled
rood should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plasticsurfaces if
allowed to settle.
Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durablefinish of your
refrigerator.
Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry.
Regularcleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments a bakingsoda solution or a
