Feed water tube installation
Before
Installation

• Automatic icemaker operation needs water pressure of 21.3-1 21psi(Ib/inch2) (That
is, a 7oz. paper cup will be filled within 3 sec.).
• If water pressure does not reach the rated 21.3psi(Ib/inch2)or below, it is necessary
to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icemaking and cool
water feed.
• Keep the total length of the water feed tube within 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.
• Install the water feed tube at a place free from heat.

Warning

• Connect to potable water supply only.
• Refer to instructions with water filter kit for installation.

Water Connection
Connecting
the Refrigerator
to a Water Source
Warning

Tools Required

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)

Cold Water Supply

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
30o-120psi(Ib/inch2)

Connect
the Tubing to
Water Line

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure
on the line. It may help to open an outside 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 shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is
solidly in the 1/4dnch drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is
under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws
carefully and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or
you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is
used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.
7. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown.
Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw
compression nut onto outlet end with 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 and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shutoff valve
on the water pipe. Coil the copper tubing as shown below.

3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the connection as far as possible. While
holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.
Turn the Water On at
the Shutoff Valve

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.

Automatic Ice maker

• 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
Smoothly

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.

CAUTION

Throw away the ice.
The first ice and water may include particles or odor from the reed water pipe or
reed water box.
This is also necessary ir the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.
Never store beverage cans or other roods in ice storage bin for the purpose of rapid
cooling.
Such actions may damage the automatic ice maker.
Never remove the icemaker cover.

Storing Foods
• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an
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 lead to higher energy consumption.
• When storing the rood, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This
prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps rood 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 enter the refrigerator,
and cause temperatures to rise.
• Never keep too much food in door rack because they may push against by inner racks
so that the door cannot be fully closed.
Freezer
Compartment

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze rood 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.
• Do not touch the cold foods or containers- especially made of metallic -, with wet
hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment.
- That's why you may havechilblains and they may be broken when their inner matters
are frozen, causing personal injury,

Refrigerator
Compartment

• 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 in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.

General Information
Vacation

Time

During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator
in operation. Place freezable 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.

Power Failure

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.

If You Move

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator.
To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.

AntiCondensation
Pipe

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.
Exterior

power plug is well inserted into the power consent.
Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of
electrical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.).
