Connecting the Wafer Line
Before You Begin
This water line installation is not covered by the
refrigerator warranty. 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 can lead to water leakage or flooding.
Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer
before installing the water supply line to the
refrigerator.
_ Z_ CAUTION
To prevent burns and product damage,
only connect the refrigerator water line to
a cold water supply.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting
the water line, make sure the icemaker power
switch is in the OFF (O) position.
-Z_ CAUTION -,
Do not install the icemaker tubing in
areas where temperatures fan below
. freezing
Water Pressure
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120
psi on models without a water filter and between
40 and 120 psi on models with a water filter.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, this water
line installation is not covered by the refrigerator
warranty. Follow the instructions 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 of 40 to 60 psi (2.8 kgf/cm 2~ 4.2
kgf/cm 2, less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz
capacity).
--Z_ CAUTION -_
Wear eye prc)tection during installation
If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis
system is less than 21 psi or 1.5 kgf/cm _ (takes
more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz capacity):
Check to see if the sediment filter in
the reverse osmosis system is blocked.
Replace the filter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse
osmosis system to refill after heavy
usage.
if water pressure issues associated with
a reverse osmosis system persist, can a
licensed, qualified plumber.
All installations must be in accordance
with local plumbing code requirements.
What You Will Need
Copper Tubing, 1A in, outer diameter, to
connect the refrigerator to the water
supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing
are cut square.
To determine how JJ
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 three
turns of about 10 in. [25 cm] diameter)
to allow the refrigerator to move out
from the wan after installation.

2CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for
the valve that is easily
accessible. It is best to
connect into the side of a
vertical water pipe. When
it is necessary to connect
into a horizontal water
pipe, make the connection to the top or
side, rather than at the bottom, to avoid
drawing off any sediment from the water
pipe.

Storing Frozen Food
NOTE -/
Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook I
for further information about preparing food I
for freezing or food storage times. J
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large
quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen
food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 Ibs. of food per
cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough
space in the freezer for air to circulate around
packages. Be careful to leave enough room at
the front so the door can close tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality
and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap
used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and
the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a
sealed package are normal. This simply means
that moisture in the food and air inside the
package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
"_} NOTE
Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature
for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.
Cooling hot foods before freezing saves
energy.
HOWTO USE 39
Storing Frozen Food (continued)
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct
packaging. When you close and seal the
package, it must not allow air or moisture in or
out. If it does, you could have food odor and
taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and
could also dry out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations:
Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting
lids
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic
bags

do so by the can center.
-_ NOTE
For best results, do not move the phone
while the tones are being transmitted.
If the call center agent is not able to get
an accurate recording of the data, you
may be asked to try again.
¢-(_ NOTE
Call quality differences by region may
affect the function.
Use the home telephone for better
communication performance, resulting
in better service.
Bad call quality may result in poor data
transmission from your phone to the
machine, which could cause Smart
Diagnosis to malfunction.
