this product only as explicitly expressed in this guide.  
Once the refrigerator is operating, avoid touching cold  
surfaces of the freezer with damp or wet hands; the  
skin could become adhered to these surfaces.  
When moving your refrigerator, take care not to roll  
over the electrical cord.  
In refrigerators with an automatic ice dispenser, avoid  
contact with moving parts of the ejector mechanism  
or with the heating mechanism that discharges the  
cubes. DO NOT place your fingers or hands in the  
ice dispenser mechanism while the refrigerator is  
connected.  
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other combustible  
liquids or vapors in proximity with this or any other  
electrical appliance.  
DO NOT permit children to climb, stand or swing from  
the doors or shelves of the refrigerator. This can cause  
serious injury to them and damage to the product.  
DO NOT refreeze foods which have already thawed.  
The Department of Agriculture of the United States, in  
your Bulletin of Home and Gardens No. 69 establishes  
that:  
...You can refreeze food that has thawed if they contain  
ice crystals or are cold and below 40 °F (4 °C).  
Keep your fingers away from areas in which they  
can become caught, such as the doors, hinges and  
cabinets. Be careful closing the doors when children  
are near.  
...Ground beef, perishable food or seafood that is  
discolored or has an unpleasant odor should not be  
frozen or consumed. Consumption of melted ice cream  
should also be avoided. If the odor or color of food is  
questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to  
consume.  
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or repairing.  
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any repair  
services be performed by a qualified professional.  
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the  
refrigerator or shut down the circuit breaker to avoid  
contact with a live wire (the bulb could break while  
being replaced). NOTE: Setting the control to the OFF  
position does not disconnect the power from the light  
bulb circuit.  
“Partial thawing or refreezing reduces the quality of the  
food, especially fruit, vegetables and prepared meals.  
The quality of red meat is less affected than other foods.  
Use refrozen products as soon as possible in order to  
maintain their quality.  
Do not keep bottles in the freezer compartment, they

WHAT YOU WILL NEED  
Copper Tubing, 1/4” (6,35 mm) outer  
diameter to connect the refrigerator to  
the water supply. Be sure both ends of  
the tubing are cut square.  
CONNECTING THE WATER LINE  
NOTE: Water line installation is needed when the  
Automatic Ice maker and/or Water Dispenser  
features are available on your product.  
To determine how 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 3 turns of about 10” [25 cm]  
diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out from the  
wall after installation.  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN  
This water line installation is not warranted by the  
refrigerator or ice maker manufacturer or seller.  
Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of  
expensive water damage.  
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house

1. SHUTOFF 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.  
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.  
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE  
Drill a 1/4” (6,35 mm) hole in  
the water pipe using a sharp bit.  
Remove any burrs resulting from  
drilling the hole in the pipe. Take  
care not to allow water to drain  
into the drill. Failure to drill a 1/4”  
(6,35 mm) hole may result in  
reduced ice production or smaller  
cubes.  
NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing [about  
8 feet (2,4 m) coiled into 3 turns of about 10”  
(25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to  
move out from the wall after installation.  
7. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE  
Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper  
tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the  
shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into  
the valve. Tighten the compression nut securely.  
NOTE: Licensed plumbers MUST use only cooper  
tubing NDA tubing #49595 or 49499 or Cross

9. CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR  
NOTES:  
Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be  
sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into  
the wall outlet.  
If your refrigerator does not have a water filter, we  
recommend installing one. If your water supply has  
sand or particles that could clog the screen of the  
refrigerator’s water valve, install the filter in the water  
line near the refrigerator.  
Set the ice maker power switch to the ON (I) position.  
The ice maker will not begin to operate until it reaches  
its operating temperature of 15 °F (-9 °C) or below. It  
will then begin operation automatically if the ice maker

refrigerator and freezer will be.  
Do not block any of these vents with food packages.  
If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and  
temperature and moisture problems may occur.  
Display Off Mode  
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both  
sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer  
to the other.  
You MUST thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate  
odors. To prevent odor transfer and dried out food, wrap  
or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide”  
section for details.)

containers with airtight lids can  
also be used.  
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler  
arm. When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the  
ice maker will stop producing ice.  
It is normal for several cubes to be stuck together. If ice  
is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy,  
taste stale, and shrink.  
STORING FROZEN FOOD  
NOTE: For further information about preparing food for  
freezing or food storage times, check a freezer  
guide or a reliable cookbook.  
Packaging  
FOOD STORAGE GUIDE  
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  
also dry out frozen food.  
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and  
moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This  
prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the  
refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to  
ensure freshness.  
Packaging Recommendations:  
ITEMS  
HOW TO STORE  
Rigid plastic containers with “tight-fitting lids.  
Straight-sided canning/freezing jars.  
Heavy-duty aluminum foil.  
Storing Fresh Food Wrap or store food in the  
refrigerator in airtight and  
moisture-proof material unless  
otherwise noted. This prevents  
food odor and taste transfer  
throughout the refrigerator. For  
dated products, check date code  
to ensure freshness.  
Plastic-coated paper.  
Non-permeable plastic wraps.  
Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags.  
Follow package or container instructions for proper  
freezing methods.  
Butter or  
margarine  
Store opened butter in a covered  
dish or in a closed compartment.  
When storing a larger quantity,  
wrap in freezer packing and  
freeze.  
Do not use:  
Bread wrappers  
Containers without tight lids  
Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap  
Thin, semi-permeable wrap  
Cheese  
Store in original packaging until  
you are ready to use it. Once  
opened, tightly rewrap with  
plastic wrap or aluminum foil.  
CAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic food  
containers in the freezer compartment.  
They may burst if they freeze.  
Vegetables with  
skins (carrots,  
peppers)  
Placeinbagsorplasticcontainers  
inside the crisper.  
Freezing  
Your freezer will not quick-freeze any 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 lbs  
of food per cubic foot (0,9 to 1,35 kg per cubic meter) 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.  
Fruit  
Wash and let dry; store in plastic  
bags in the refrigerator. Do not  
wash or pit berries until you  
are ready to eat them. Berries  
should be selected and kept in  
their original packaging (if there  
is any) or in a paper bag closed  
halfway and set on a shelf.  
Food storage times will vary according to the quality and  
type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (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.  
Leafy Vegetables  
Remove original packaging and  
trim any dirty or discolored parts.  
Wash in cold water and drain.  
Place in a plastic bag or plastic  
container and store in the crisper.

the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.  
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently  
to keep your food items at the desired temperature.  
The high efficiency compressor may cause your new  
refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and you  
may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.  
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the  
air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.  
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound  
due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.  
Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may  
cause a popping noise.  
Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost  
cycle may cause a sizzling sound.  
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by  
the condenser fan.  
You may hear water running into the drain pan during  
the defrost cycle.
