CONNECTING THE WATER LINE
WATER CONNECTION
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and damage to the appliance:
• Disconnect the appliance from the power source before
performing any work on the water connection.
• Only a qualified installation technician may connect the
appliance to the water supply in accordance with plumbing
and relevant water utility company regulations.
Connect the appliance to a drinking water line only:
• Minimum pressure: 0.28 MPa (2.76 bar, 40psi)
• Maximum pressure: 0.69 MPa (6.89 bar, 100psi)
• Pressure over 0.69 MPa (6.89 bar, 100 psi): install a pressure
limiter between drinking water connection and hose set.
The water supply should be connected only by a competent
plumber according to the local regulations of the appropriate
water supply company.
A cold water connection is necessary for operating the ice
maker. The water pressure must be between 0.28 MPa (2.76
bar, 40 psi) and 0.69 MPa (6.89 bar, 100 psi). The installation
must correspond to the local plumbing regulations.
A separate shut-off valve should be installed in the cold-water
inflow.
The shut-off valve should not be located behind the appliance.
It is recommended that you m
ount the shut-off valve directly
next to the appliance or at another place that is easily accessible.
See Figures 21-22.
When installing the water connection, pay attention to the
permissible installation area for the water line.
For connection to the drinking water line, use only water pipes
that are suitable for drinking water. Observe local regulations
and the connection conditions of the local water supply
companies.
Figure 21
Figure 22
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Connecting the Water Line to A Drinkable Water
Source.
If your water line is not drinkable, please add an external
water filter.
If you must repair or disassemble the water line, cut off
the plastic tubing to make sure you get a snug, leak-free
connection. See Figures 23.

4. Put the screw hole cap 4 on the handle screw hole to
complete this installation.
Note: the screw hole cap is not removable once applied.

Figure 26
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING THE WATER LINE
Water line installation kits are available as an additional
accessory from your dealer or at a local hardware store.
1. Shut off the main water supply line.
2. Instal
l a shut-off valve and water line 1/4" x 1/4" compression
thread (UNS 7/16-24), accessible with product in place. Refer
to local code and instructions with water line installation kit
(not included).
3. Connect the newly installed water supply line (B) to the
refrigerator water inlet connector (A), tighten using tool.
See Figure 24.
4. Gently tug on the water supply line to ensure a proper fit and
risk of damage when pulling or pushing the unit for cleaning.
5. Turn main water back on and check for leaks.
6. After connecting the water line, please flush one gallon of
water through the filter before drinking or using the water
from your refrigerator. (Flush approximately 5 minutes.) To
flush, press a large glass or cup against the water dispenser
lever. Fill the glass, then empty it. Repeat until you dispense
about one gallon of water.

BEFORE USING THE REFRIGERATOR
• Before use, remove all packing materials, including bottom
cushions, foam pads and tape inside of the refrigerator; tear
off the protective lm on the doors and the refrigerator body.
• Before turning the refrigerator on, keep the refrigerator still
for 2 hours before connecting it to power supply.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator
should have run for 2-3 hours or for about 4 hours in summer
when the ambient temperature is high.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the
room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts,
and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool down to the room temperature before
placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces
the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly
may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry
before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost
build-up inside the appliance.
• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum
foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold
air circulation, making the appliance less efcient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended
searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and
close the door as soon as possible.

portions for easier defrosting.
To prevent spoilage and food-borne illness, consume all foods
before expiration date.
Note: Storage of too much food during oper
ation after the
initial connection to power may adversely affect the freezing
performance of the appliance. Food stored should not block
the air outlet or otherwise the freezing performance will also
be adversely affected.
To optimize the humidity control of the crisper drawers,
slide the sector to the following positions.

CARE AND CLEANING
OVERALL CLEANING
• Regularly clean the dust and debris behind the refrigerator
appliance and the floor to improve cooling performance and
energy savings.
• Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there is no
debris. Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened
with soapy water or diluted detergent.
• The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly
to avoid odor.
• Please unplug the power supply before cleaning interior,

with two tablespoons of baking soda and a quart of warm
water. Then rinse with water and wipe clean. After cleaning,
open the door and let it air dry before applying power supply.
For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator (such
•
as narrow spaces, gaps or corners), it is recommended to
wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. and when
necessary, combined with some auxiliary tools (such as thin
sticks) to ensure no contaminants or bacterial accumulation
are in these areas.
• Do not use soap, detergent, scrub powder, spray cleaner, etc.,
as these may cause odors in the interior of the refrigerator
or contaminate food.
• Clean the bottle frame, shelves and drawers with a soft cloth
dampened with soapy water or diluted detergent. Dry wit
h a
soft cloth or air dry.

The refrigerator is designed based on the air-cooling principle
and thus has an automatic defrosting function. Frost formed
due to change of season or temperature may also be manually
removed by disconnecting the appliance from power supply or
by wiping with a dry towel.
CLEANING OF FREEZER DRAWER
REPLACING THE WATER FILTER
CHANGING THE LIGHT
