Follow the instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to the cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276~414 kPa or 2.8~4.2 kgf/cm², less than 2.0~3.0 sec. to fill a cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity).If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/cm² (takes more than 4.0 sec to fill a cup of 7 oz or 198 cc capacity):Check to see if the sediment filter in ythe reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.Allow the storage tank on the reverse yosmosis system to refill after heavy usage.If the issue concerning water pressure yfrom reverse osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.All installations must be in accordance ywith local plumbing code requirements.What You Will NeedCopper Tubing, y ¼ in. outer diameter, to connect the refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut square.To determine how ymuch 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 3 turns of about 10 in. [25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.Power drill. y½ in. or adjustable ywrench.Flat blade and Phillips yhead screwdrivers.Two ¼ in. outer ydiameter compression nuts and 2 ferrules (sleeves) to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve. NOTEA self piercing saddle type water valve should not be used. If your existing copper water line has a yflared fitting at the end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing supply stores) to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting with a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting.Shutoff valve y to connect to the cold water line. The shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter of 5/32 in. at the point of connection to the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
19INSTALLATIONENGLISH NOTEThe hookup line cannot be white, plastic tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only copper tubing (NDA tubing #49595 or #49599) or Cross Link Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.Water Line Installation InstructionsInstall the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used drinking water line.1 SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the line.2 CHOOSE 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.3 DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE Drill a ¼ in. hole in the water pipe using a sharp bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe. Be careful not to allow water to drain into the drill. Failure to drill a ¼ in. hole may result in reduced ice production or smaller cubes. WARNINGWhen using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is battery powered, double insulated or grounded in a manner that will prevent the hazard of electric shock.4 FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp.Pipe ClampSaddle-Type Shutoff Valve Vertical Cold Water Pipe NOTECommonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and their use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.5 TIGHTEN THE PIPE CLAMP Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell. NOTE: Do not overtighten the clamp or you may crush the tubing.6 ROUTE THE TUBING Route the tubing between the cold water line and the refrigerator. Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet) as close to the wall as possible.Pipe ClampClamp ScrewWasherInlet End NOTEBe sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

To use the Smart Grid function, you need to yregister your appliance with your electric utility company. Using the Smart Grid Function This feature responds to notification events from your utility company to run high energy-consuming tasks during off-peak periods when demand is lower. These notification events are known as Demand Response signals.If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response signal from the utility company, the refrigerator will turn on the Grid LED on the refrigerator display and control its power consumption according to the signal. The refrigerator will respond to the signals received from the utility company as long as product performance is maintained. If the refrigerator receives a Demand Response signal, the refrigerator will operate in Delay Appliance Load (DAL) or Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR) mode. Delay Appliance Load (DAL): The refrigerator responds to a DAL signal by providing a moderate load reduction for the duration of the delay period. This mode controls functions that consume a lot of energy such as adjusting the cooling system, running the defrost cycle, and making ice. - When the refrigerator operates in DAL mode, the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator display. - DAL mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the amount of time stipulated by the DAL signal (max. 4 hours) or when you override the Smart Grid function. Temporary Appliance Load Reduction (TALR) : The refrigerator responds to a TALR signal by aggressively reducing the load for a short time period, typically 10 minutes. This mode reduces energy consumption by stopping the compressor and controlling the functions that consume a lot of energy such as the defrost cycle and fan.- When the refrigerator operates in TALR mode, the Grid LED is illuminated on the refrigerator display. - TALR mode is automatically deactivated after it lasts for the received duration (max. 10 minutes), or when you override the Smart Grid function. The mode is immediately deactivated and the refrigerator returns to its normal state when the door is opened or closed, or the dispenser is used.
