Installing the water lines
In order for the ice maker to operate properly,
a water line is required.
You may need to purchase a water purifying
system to do that.
The water connection must be made by a
qualified plumber.
If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low
water pressure (below 30psi/207KPa), you can
install a booster pump to compensate for the
low pressure.
-the maximum inlet water pressure is
101.5psi/700kPa;
-the minimum inlet water pressure is
30psi/207kPa.
Important:Operation outside the water
pressure range may cause malfunction and
severe,damaging water leaks.
Note:If the water pressure is less than what is
required, ice cubes could be hollow or
irregularly shaped.
screws on the inside
2. Take out the upper freezer drawer
by lifting it up from the rail system,then
push the rail system back.
3. Place the free end of the 1/4" water line into
an empty container or sink.
4. Turn on main water supply and open
quarter-turn shutoff valve to flush the 1/4" water
line of any contaminants. Run water until it is
clear.
Method 2: Shutoff Valve With Saddle clamp
NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or
3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces
water flow and clogs easier.
Following are two methods of connecting to your
household water supply. Use the instructions
specific to your installation.
IMPORTANT: Turn off main water supply. Turn on
nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of
water.
You will need the following tools(not supplied).
Phillips screwdriver
Flat-blade screwdriver
1/2" or adjustable wrench
Drill and 1/4" drill bit
Quarter-turn shutoff valve
1 PCS
1/4" shutoff valve with
saddle clamp 1 PCS
Ferrule (sleeve) 2 PCS
1/4" compression nut 2 PCS
1/4" water line 1 PCS
(1) Connect Water Line to Household Water
Method 1: Quarter-turn Shutoff Valve
Gather the required tools and parts before
starting installation.
1. Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the
equivalent served by a household supply line.
NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the
refrigerator, a minimum 1/2" household supply
line is recommended.
2. Using the ferrule (sleeve) and 1/4" compression
nut, connect the 1/4" water line to the quarter-turn
shutoff valve.
NOTE: Do not overtighten.

Household Supply Line
1. Find a 1/2" to 11/4" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm)
vertical water inlet near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
• Make sure it is a cold household supply line.
• Horizontal pipe will work, but the following
procedure must be followed: Drill on the top
side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will
help keep water away from the drill. This also
keeps normal sediment from collecting in
the valve.
2. Determine the length of 1/4" water line you
need. Measure from the connection on the rear
of the 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) water line.
3. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" hole in the
household supply line you have selected.
4. Fasten the 1/4"shutoff valve to the household
supply line with the saddle clamp.Be sure the
outlet solidly in the end is 1/4" drilled hole in the
household supply line and that the washer is
under the saddle clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the saddle
clamp screws slowly and evenly so the washer
makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.

5. Slip the ferrule(sleeve) and 1/4" compression
nut on the 1/4" water line as shown. Insert the
end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely
as far as it will go. Screw 1/4" compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench.
Do not overrighten or you may crush the
1/4" water line.
6. Place the free end of the 1/4" water line into
an empty container or sink.
7. Turn on main water supply and open
shutoff valve to flush the 1/4" water line of any
contaminants. Run water until it is clear.
Connect Water Line to Refrigerator.
(2) Connect Water Line to Refrigerator
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before
the water is connected, turn off the ice maker.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Close shutoff valve.
3. Thread a 1/4" compression nut and ferrule
(sleeve) onto the free end of the 1/4" water line.

4. Insert the free end of the 1/4" water line into
the brass fitting attached to the water inlet on
the back of the refrigerator.
5. Slide the 1/4" compression nut over the ferrule
(sleeve) and screw the 1/4" compression nut
onto the brass ftting.

Press the “ZONE” button until the
“Freezer” icon lights up, then press the
“TEMP.” button to select a temperature
setting.
If you have set the temperature type to
Fahrenheit, the temperature settings cycle
from 7°F to -11°F.
Controlling the temperature
We recommend that when you start your
refrigerator for the first time, the

temperature, follow the instructions below.
Caution! When you set a temperature, you
set an average temperature for the whole
refrigerator cabinet. Temperatures inside
each compartment may vary from
the temperature displayed on the panel,
depending on how much food you store
and where you place them. Ambient
temperature may also affect the actual
temperature inside the appliance.
To toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit
