Feed water pipe installation
ꢀ
Before
installation
Automatic ice maker operation needs water pressure of 147~834 kPa (1.5~8.5
kgf/cm2) (That is, an instant paper cup (180 cc) will be fully filled within 3 sec.).
2
ꢀ
If water pressure does not reach the rating 147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm ) or below, it is
necessary to purchase a separate pressure pump for normal automatic icing and
cool water feed.
ꢀ
Keep the total length of the feed water pipe tube within 8 m and be careful for the
tube not be bent. If the tube is 8 m or longer it may cause trouble in water feed
owing to the drain water pressure.
ꢀ
Install the feed water pipe tube at a place free from heat.
ꢀ
Connect to potable water supply only.
Refer to instructions with water filter kit for installation.

•
If operating the refrigerator before installing the water connection, turn ice maker
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 ice maker 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 ice maker water valve contains a flow washer which is used as a water
pressure regulator.
The ice maker needs to be connected to a cold water line with water pressure
207 ~ 827 kPa (30 ~ 120 psi).
If a problem occurs, call your utility company.

Installation
Connect
the tubing to
water line
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to empty
water pipes.
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
side 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 grounded drill, drill a 1/4 - inch 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 1/4-inch 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 over tighten 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 shut - off valve
on the water pipe. Coil copper tubing.

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 goes bad 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.
ꢀ
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 have chilblains and they may be broken when their inner matters
are frozen, causing personal injury.
ꢀ
Refrigerator
Avoid placing moist food in top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct
contact with chilled air.
compartment
ꢀ
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 openning of the door
or storing a lot of vegetables in it may cause dew to form which has no effect on its
performance. Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.

Care and maintenance
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 not to operate, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the
interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation.
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.
Don’t be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot
refrigerator 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 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, or
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.).
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.
