When moving your appliance away from the wall, be careful not to roll over the power  
cord or to damage it in any way. Do not crush or damage the water line.  
After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer  
compartment, particularly when your hands are damp or wet. Skin could adhere to  
these extremely cold surfaces.  
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet for cleaning or other requirements. Never  
touch it with wet hands because you can get an electric shock or be injured.  
Never damage, bend, kink, pull out, or twist the power cord because damage to the  
power cord can cause product failure, fire, or electric shock. If you have doubts the  
appliance is properly grounded, consult a qualified electrician.  
Never place glass products in the freezer because they may be broken from expansion  
when their contents are frozen.  
Never put your hands within the ice storage bin of the automatic icemaker. You can be  
injured by the operation of the automatic icemaker.  
The appliance is not intended for use by young children without supervision.  
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.  
Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand, or hang on the door. These actions may  
damage the refrigerator and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.  
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location,  
it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical  
connection:  
Recommended  
Grounding  
Method  
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15, or 20 ampere fused, grounded  
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate  
circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that  
cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.  
The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug  
is accessible for quick disconnection in the event of an emergency.  
Accessibility of  
Supply Plug

Feed water tube installation  
Before  
Installation  
Automatic icemaker operation needs water pressure of 21.3~ 121psi is too  
much(lb/inch2) (That a 7 ounce paper cup will fill within 3 sec.).  
2
If the water pressure does not reach 21.3psi(lb/inch ), 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.  
Install the water feed tube away from any heat sources.  
Connect to potable water supply only.  
Refer to instructions with water filter kit for installation.

Installation  
Water Connection Instruction Guide  
Connecting  
the Refrigerator  
to a Water Source  
Read all directions carefully before you begin.  
Warning  
Connect to potable w ater supply only.  
IMPORTANT  
If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn icemaker  
to the OFF position to prevent operation without water.  
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.  
Use copper tubing and check for leaks.  
Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.  
It may take up to 24 hours for your icemaker to begin producing ice.  
Tools Required  
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)  
NOTE  
Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4-inch saddle-type shut-off valve,  
a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve  
complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16-inch  
saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.  
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  
21.3~121psi(lb/inch2)

Installation  
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 an outside faucet to allow the water to  
drain from the line in the house.  
3. Find a 1/2-inch to 1-1/4-inch vertical COLD water pipe near the refrigerator.  
NOTE  
Horizontal pipe will work, but the following precaution must be taken: Drill on the top of  
the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps  
normal sediment from collecting in the valve.  
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 1/4-inch O.D.  
(outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut  
square.  
5. Using a drill, drill a 1/4-inch 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 1/4-inch 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 soft (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.

When Icemaker  
Does Not Operate  
Properly  
Ice is clum ped 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 of water  
supplied to the ice maker must be adjusted. Contact the service center.  
If ice is not used frequently, it may clump together.  
Pow er 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 new ly installed  
It takes about 12 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to make ice.  
The first ice and water may include particles or odor from the feed water pipe or  
feed water box. Throw away the first few batches of ice. This is also necessary if the  
refrigerator has not been used for a long time.  
CAUTION  
Never store beverage cans or other foods in ice storage bin for the purpose of rapid  
cooling. Such actions may damage the automatic ice maker.  
Never remove the icemaker cover.  
Ice may pile up just around the icemaker causing the icemaker to think that the ice  
storage bin is full. Shake the bin occasionally to cause the ice to settle.  
If discolored ice is dispensed, contact an Authorized Service Center immediately.  
Do not use the ice or water until the problem is corrected.

Cautions  
This is also necessary when the refrigerator has not been used for a long time.  
Keep children away from the dispenser.  
Children may play with or damage the controls.  
Be careful that food does not block the ice passage.  
If foods are placed at the entrance of ice passage,  
the dispenser may malfunction. The passage may  
also become blocked with frost if only crushed ice  
is used. Remove the frost that accumulates.  
Storing cans or other items in the ice bin may  
damage the icemaker or the container may burst.  
Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect  
ice.  
Such glasses or containers may be broken.  
Put ice first into a glass before filling water or other beverages.  
Water may be splashed if ice is added to existing liquid in a glass.  
Keep your hands and tools out of the ice door and passage.  
You might break something or injure yourself.  
Never remove the ice maker cover.  
Shake the ice bin occasionally to level the ice in it.  
Sometimes the ice piles up near the icemaker, causing the icemaker to misread the  
bin level and stop producing ice.  
If discolored ice or water is dispensed, contact an Authorized service center  
immediately and discontinue use until the problem is corrected.  
Never use too narrow or deep glass.  
Ice may be jammed in ice passage and, thus, the refrigerator may be failed.  
Keep the glass at a proper distance from ice outlet.  
A glass too close to the outlet may hinder ice from coming out.

Suggestion on Food Storage  
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 food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil  
other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.  
When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This  
prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.  
Do not block air vents with food. 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.  
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.  
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrient.  
Freezer  
Compartment  
When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer  
shelf, not in the door rack.  
Refrigerator  
Compartment  
Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct  
contact with chilled air.  
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and  
wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food 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.  
NOTE  
If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or  
storing a lot of vegetables in it may cause condensation to form which has no effect  
on its performance. Remove the condensation with a cloth.

General Information  
During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator  
in operation. Place freezable items in freezer for longer life.  
Vacation Time  
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.  
Power Failure  
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.  
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just  
after installation.  
Dont be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot  
refrigerant to prevent sweating on the outer cabinet wall.  
Anti-  
Condensation  
Pipe  
Cleaning  
It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled  
food 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 a clean damp cloth and then dry.  
Exterior  
Interior  
Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments with a baking soda  
solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry.  
After Cleaning  
Warning  
Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, and  
the power plug is well 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.
