Feed water tube installation
• Automatic icemaker operation needs water pressure of 21.3-1 21psi is too
much(Ib/inch2)(That a 7 ounce paper cup will fill within 3 sec.).
• If the water pressure does not reach 21.3psi(Ib/inch2),it is necessary to purchase a
separate pressure pump for the cool water feed.
• Keep the total length of the water feed tube less than 40 feet and be careful not to
bend or kink the tube. If the tube is longer than 40 feet, the icemaker and water
dispenser will not operate properly.
• Installthe water reed tube away from any heat sources.
Warning • Connect to potable water supply only.
• Refer to instructions with water filter kit for installation.
Connecting

Warning
Tools Required
Cold Water Supply
Water Connection Instruction Guide
Read all 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 icemaker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water
pressure regulator.
The icemaker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure
21.3o-121psi(Ib/inch2)
Connect
the Tubing to
Water Line
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn off the main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the
pressure on the line. It may help to open anoutside faucet to allow the water to
drain from the line in the house.
3. Find a 1/2dnch to 1-1/4-inch vertical COLD water pipe near the 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 1/4dnch O.D.
(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut
square.
5. Using a drill, drill a 1/4dnch hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.
6. Fasten the shut-off valve to cold water a pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet
end is securely in the 1/4dnch drilled hole and the washer is under the pipe
clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws carefully and
evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may
crush the copper tubing, especially if sort (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now
you are ready to connect the copper tubing.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut onto the copper tubing as
shown. Insert end of the tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go.
Screw compression nut onto the outlet end with an adjustable wrench. Do not
over tighten.
8. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn ON main
water supply. Flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve
on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below.

Connection
Tighten any connections that leak.
• Plug In the Refrigerator
Arrange the coil of copper tubing behind the refrigerator so it does not vibrate
against the back of the refrigerator or against the wall. Push the refrigerator
back to the wall.
• Start the Icemaker
Set the icemaking stop switch to the ON position The icemaker will not begin
to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of 15 °F (-9 °C). It will then
begin operation automatically if the icemaking stop switch is in the ON
position.
• The automatic icemaker makes 8 cubes at a time, 120/150 pieces per day.
But these quantities may vary according to circumstance, including ambient
temperature, door openings, freezer load.etc.
• The Icemaker stops when the bin is full.
When Icemaker
Does Not Operate
Propedy
/_ CAUTION
Ice is clumped together
• When ice is clumped together, take the ice clumps out of the ice storage bin,
break them into small pieces, and then place them into the ice storage bin
again.
• When the icemaker produces too small or clumped ice, the amount or water
supplied to the ice maker must be adjusted. Contact the service center.
• If ice is not used frequently, it may clump together.
Power failure
• Water may drop into the freezer compartment. Take the ice storage bin out and
discard all the ice. Dry the bin and replace it.
The unit is newly installed
• It takes about 12 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to make ice.
The first iceand water may include particles or odor from the feed water pipeor
reed water box. Throw away the first few batches of ice. This is also necessary irthe
refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
Never store beverage cans or other roods in ice storage bin for the purpose or rapid
cooling. Such actions may damage the automatic ice maker.
Never remove the icemaker cover.
Ice may pile upjust around the icemaker causing the icemaker to think that the ice
storage bin isfull. Shake the bin occasionally to cause the iceto settle.

Storing Foods
• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food isfrozen and thawed isan
important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
• Do not store food which spoils easily at low temperatures, such as bananas and
melons.
• Allow hot rood to cool prior to storing, placing hot rood in the refrigerator could spoil
other rood, and leadto higher energy consumption.
• When storing the rood, cover itwith vinylwrap or store in a container with a lid.This
prevents moisture from evaporating,and helpsrood to keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with rood. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator
temperatures even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enterthe refrigerator,
and cause temperatures to rise.
• Never keeptoo much rood in door rack becausethey may push against by inner racks
so that the door cannot be fully closed.
• 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 ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer
shelf, not in the door rack.
• Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct
contact with chilled air.
• Always clean rood prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and
wiped, and packed rood should be wiped, to prevent adjacent rood from spoiling.
• When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always
store them inan upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.

General Information
During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator
in operation. Placefreezable items in freezer for longer life.
When you plan to store the refrigerator, remove all food, disconnect the power cord,
clean the interior thoroughly, and block the doors open to prevent mold and mildew.
Be certain the stored refrigerator does not present a child entrapment danger.
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 is off.
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items insidethe refrigerator.
To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especiallyjust
after installation.
Don't be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot
refrigerant to prevent sweating on the outer cabinet wall.
Cleaning
It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled
rood should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if
allowed to settle.
Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your
refrigerator. Wipe with aclean damp cloth and then dry.
Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments with a baking soda
solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinseand dry.
Pleaseverify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, and
the power plug iswell inserted into the power outlet.
Always remove the power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of
electrical parts (lamps,switches, controls, etc.).
Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from
getting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock.
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline
solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface.
Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stick
or adhere to extremely cold surfaces.
